If your face touches someone who has pimples face, would I breakout. I slept over at my friends house and I was worried about sleeping on her pillow case! Also when I hug people and I accidentally touch their face, is it possible to get pimples from someone else?
lol I wouldn't worry about hugging. As for pillow case, it depends on how clean it is. For people with acne, it's good to change the pillow case once a week. So I hope the one you used was a clean one! :)
I wouldn't share makeup with anyone just because of the potential to spread germs, but I don't think it's possible to catch acne. I'd bring your own pillowcase if you're worried about it.

No, pimples aren't like herpes. You can't just get them from touching someone's face.
