Sorry to tell you this, but you cannot choose to lose weight in any specific areas.

You may find your face slims down naturally in a few years, but there is no guarantee of this, it might just be in your genetic make up to have chubby cheeks.

At 15, I wouldn't bother with Foundation, as you are probably clogging your skin with dirt and debris, which causes problem skin. Try to concentrate on a good skincare routine, with cleansing, toning and moisturising twice daily and exfoliating 1-2 times per week.

Try to purchase the best products you can afford.

If you are a slim person and have a chubby face then it's just the way you are. No way can you slim your face down on its own. You probably look just fine and there is nothing wrong with chubby cheeks, but if you really feel self conscious then see if you can learn how to use make up to make your face look slimmer and define your cheek bones.

I would buy the creams made specially for combination skins and then use a concealer on your spots, rather than use a foundation. The products especially made for teenage skins and spots are generally very good. However, someone on this site that understands teenage skins could probably give you some better advice. It's a long time since I was a teenager!

Velvetee was not there when I started my answer, but I think we think along the same lines :o)

Have you seen any Biafrans or Dafur people with chubby cheeks or 'puppy fat'? Eat less!

^ That's terrible advice to give to a young girl, especially since she says she isn't overweight. That sort of advice encourages eating disorders.

Bear in mind you will be more aware of your "chubby cheeks" than anyone else.

They will probably become less "chubby" as you come out of your teens. However, there are plenty of otherwise slim people who have "chubby cheeks" and when you get older you will find you are less wrinkly than thinner-faced people.

Deftly applied makeup can minimise facial imperfections.

How true Barney!! I am happy to say that, although I am over 60, I have virtually no wrinkles - (no oil painting, but not wrinkly). So chubby faces are good as you get older and you look a lot younger than your years!!

[LoftyLottie2]

And I always had what I thought was a chubby face, even when I was stick thin!!

Flowerpatch, I know you hear this all the time, but wait until your in your 20's you'll laugh at yourself! Love the way you are hun!

Every teen has spots! I always found that toothpaste worked for spots and just leave them. Do not pop them! The clearasil product works well too.

And women wearing foundation- YUK!

Be happy with who you are. In life you will find your best friendships and relationships flourish because of your personality rather than your perceived self image. Anyway what's wrong with a chubby face......I bet you've got a great smile!

Ditto McMouse.

I read an article in the paper, that said gently dabbing a little toothpaste on spots, dries them up pretty quickly. But no picking at them flowerpatch. (Love your username).

Scuse haste, dental check up in half an hour, must dash!

See what dashing does!

Just noticed your post SupaAbzyBall - great minds on the toothpaste!
