There is something you can eat which keeps teenage spots at bay. It's called 'ajwain' in my lingo. They're bitter tasting seeds and can be made into a tea.

Anyway, feel like sharing this story...
There was a beautiful girl with a clear complexion which really made her feel proud of her looks. Infact, she was so proud of herself that she looked down upon others and made fun of their flaws.
Studying in the same college was a guy who was madly in love with her. His average looks held no appeal for the girl and she would make fun of him in front of others, saying that he wasn't worthy of her.
One day risking yet more mockery and redicule, the guy decided to approach her as she sat with her friends. She slapped him hard across the face and said, "Look at yourself! How dare you think you are worthy of me!" Defeated, the guy left.
But as fate would have it, she woke up the next morning to find an angry looking pimple on her face. Horrified, she took an eye-pencil and covered the pimple to make it look like a beauty-spot. Now her vanity was satisfied and she went about her daily business as proud of herself as ever. But the spot began to itch. And the more it itched, the more she scratched it. She tried every remedy she knew but the spot had got infected and the infection started to spread. After medical treatment the infection cleared but left a permanent scar on her face. Gone was the proudness she'd felt when seeing herself in the mirror, only to be replaced with a deep sense of shame of how she'd looked down at others.
The moral of this story: We should never give ourselves credit for our good looks because we didn't create ourseves - Allah did. How can we feel proud of something we had no hand in creating? Neither should we put others down for their lack of good looks because they had no hand in creating themselves - Allah did. So when we see something we like in ourselves, we should praise Allah for bestowing us with that blessing. And when we feel less beautiful than others, we should remind ourselves that these looks are temporary and that in Jannah, Allah will make us look more beautiful than we can ever imagine - provided we strive to get there first.
Just felt like sharing...
