Are you vain about your face also your appearance in general.

I am not crazy but, I can not stand having marks and scars on my face. I do not really get acme(pimples do not bother me), but dark marks from cuts and ingrown hairs bug the crap out of me. My skin is highly sensitive, that is why I always have to watch out what happens to my face. I also am particular about what clothes I wear, which is weird because I feel I am in the minority of people who get dressed for college class. I can not leave the house unless I take a shower and brush my teeth /hair. Neurotic like that, you should see my room.

I don't find this vain whatsoever. I think it's only proper for anyone to keep themselves well groomed and not looking like they just came out of a concentration camp.

Thanks for putting it down so nicely for me.

I've had more than my fair share of problems with acne... When I get older, I guess the marks from that will show...

never had acne but i have rosacea its not bad now cause im still young but clinton had it. makes your cheeks all red. Theres no cure but you can make it pretty much go away with a laser treatment. Most people say they dont notice it (liaars) but i do and thats what matters. Never had acne but only a few pimpes here and there every month they still bug me though. I wont be happy till i have a model face all clear and what not with 5 o clock shadow

I'm pretty much the same as you. I can't leave without a shower. I like dressing nicely but I don't mind wearing old clothes if it's raining or I'm feeling tired. Sometimes I'm more content when I'm not making an effort.

Not to an extreme extent, but unless its just a real quick run out to the store or something, I try to clean up as best I can and smell nice, etc. before I go out. People notice.

Keeping yourself clean and proper does not mean that you are vain. Perhaps a simple test that can help you decide whether you are vain about your appearance is to answer this question: Do you dress radically different when in public? That is, when you know that no one will see you do you still clean yourself up? If you are dirty and nasty when not in public eyes then your desire to impress the public is greater than your desire to be well groomed. As a note, this is not a definite test and is not always accurate but it may give a general idea to yourself about which is more important to you: your cleanliness or your reputation.

Not vain, but I take pride in my appearance. Also, if you find you get ingrown hairs and such, try using an older style safety razor (or double-edged razor). I have sensitive skin and have found they work a lot better - plus, they're cheaper, you can use decent smelling shaving soap that doesn't smell like chemicals and I have yet to get a single ingrown hair or even the mildest irritation on my face since using it.

Same. I do take such care in how I look, but I'd hardly say I'm vain in any way. When you think you look good though, you feel good (confident), and it's important to be presentable as well.

There's nothing vain about taking care of yourself. It's a great habit.

By the way, I have a scar on my left cheek from a cut -- my profile pic is far too small to see. It used to bother me for a few years. I slowly learned to accept it.

I try to look the best that I can, but I accept what I have and go with it. Confidence is a key part of looking good. Like, I can't get rid of my acne overnight, but at least I can keep it at a minimum. When I see it going down, I feel good, even though I still have it.

I wouldn't say I'm vain,but I make sure I am presentable every morning or before something important. And if I come across a mirror while I'm out, I always give a my face a scan to make sure nothing really bad is going on.

*settles in to ye olde rambling rockingchair*

When I was an angsy young thing of about 15 I was looking in the mirror and said something like 'Oh I'm so ugly!!'

And my dad who was in the room at the time pottered out and came back with a feature article from the centre page of a recent newspaper which featured this picture of 3rd Degree burns victim Jacqueline Saburido who was in a traffic accident at 19:

I still keep the article in my bedside drawer and whenever I'm feeling self-depricating about myself (especially my troll nose) I look at it for a sharp reminder: I am glad of my face, it is what it is.

I have realized that I am average looking at best so I at least try to maintain that image :P Sometimes I will act vain over my hair because once it grows out a little, it becomes very sort of, puffy-looking, whenever I take a shower. And when it starts to really grow out, it starts to resemble a mushroom head which horrifies me. So I never take more than a month to get a haircut.

@ MissLibrarian

That is so depressing. Articles like that remind me why I have such little respect for people who drive drunk.

Anyway, I don't think I'm vain overall, but I probably do spend a little too much time on my hair. But that's probably because it's long and long hair needs to be cared for more since it can easily look nasty if you don't.

That's one huge advantage of short hair: you can style it easily and just go. But I like a longer style, so the ease that comes with shorrt hair is something I have to sacrifice.

Nah. I think I'm fairly average and I'm okay with it.

Although I do love that my skin is pretty clear and I rarely get pimples.

I assume I'm considered vain about my appearance, not that I over dress or anything. I think the problem stems from the fact that I am slowly balding and i'm only 20 years old, I'm not usually reminded of it unless someone (for some reason) see's the top of my head and notices thinning hair. Once I grow it out it begins looking very terrible so i try to keep it cut very short. Other than that I would say i'm pretty confident in my features, I'v had nothing but compliments on my "innocent" face, I assume it's the large blue eyes for the most part.

i consider myself to be pretty average looking but apparently girls find me handsome and good looking ( I seriously have no idea how they could tho)

As for my face i dont really care too much about how it looks aslong as i'm clean and shaven.
