I was happily answering questions and learning stuff thinking ... finally a decent survey! I might have to give this one 10 stars! When all of a suddden, it told me that chocolate does not make me break out. HA! Let them do their scientific study on my face. I can go MONTHS without eating chocolate and not have a pimple. But as soon as those chocolate covered cherries come out at Christmas or that dastardly Cadbury Egg and I, surprise, has a pimple ... but not a one in the summer in South FL (no holiday candy to eat!) ... No stars for you! I give you 8 stars! (so far)

It was worded badly- like the first question. I know pimples aren't formed overnight, but as for "popping up" overnight, well that's a big, fat YES! And cold cucumbers on your eyes do work good for puffiness- pretty much anything cold does. As someone else said, people have all kinds of different skin. If you noticed, they only quoted one or two different experts on this, so if you asked others you'd probably get different answers from them as well. And I had to keep refreshing it so I have no idea how many I got right. It said 1 at the end, but I think I got more like 10 or 12.

I disagree with the claim that you should "scarf away" those chocolates, french fries and greasy food and not have to worry about breaking out. Your skin is the physical reflection of your health. If you're on a high calories, high fat diet, your hormone levels will fluctuate and cause your sebaceous glands to go crazy. Of course, eating one bar of chocolate might not be a killer for some people, but the way the paragraph is worded, it seems like they're actually encouraging unhealthy lifestyles.

It had some good info in the answers, but too many of the questions were badly written
