I was complaining to my friend about how horribly dry my skin is. It flakes and peels all the time. And I'm also prone to breakouts during the winter. My friend said it was better than having bad teeth, which she complains about all the time. She was unable to get braces so she hates how crooked they are. She never smiles because of it. She also has dark teeth due to too much fluoride when she was younger.
Which would you rather have if you had to pick one? Bad skin or bad teeth?

I'd rather have bad teeth. At least I can keep my mouth closed, but my skin is always there for all to see.

I'd rather have good skin and bad teeth. Bad teeth can always be fixed somehow.

Tough one! I'd rather have bad teeth! Your face is the first thing people see.

I'd rather have bad skin. Teeth are the first thing I look at when I meet someone!

I have bad teeth! ... though not aesthetically, but i've had teeth removed (too young) and have genetically weak teeth... so I'd just deal with it. I had a bad period of bad skin during puberty and I don't ever want that again...

Omigosh, I can't come up with an answer! I think I'd have to go with the teeth though. The skin is more visible to more people than your teeth.

I’ve had both lol. I would rather have bad skin – you can fix skin and even if you buy expensive products they are not *that* pricey. Braces and orthodontics though? My parents easily sunk 20k into my mouth, and my teeth are still crooked.

Bad teeth because at least you can hide it. Your face is the first thing people see, especially for a girl!

I'd rather have bad teeth. At least there is a solution out there for me. Some people have skin problems with either 1. no resolution or 2. have to engage in some 10 step daily ritual or their skin freaks out. I'd rather go with the easy fix, which to me is teeth.

I asked my mom last night and she said she'd rather have bad skin because you can always hide it with makeup. She said bad teeth makes you look unhygienic. lol

I have both (to some extent), but I'd rather have bad teeth (assuming they are healthy). My crooked teeth never cause me social embarrassment, but my skin does. Crooked teeth don't itch. Both oily and dry skin do.

I would rather have bad teeth. With teeth its seems there are more solutions, braces, caps, whitening even fake ones etc.... Skin can be a little tougher and sensative to fix.

Neither, haha! If I have to pick I would prefer bad teeth just because I feel like it would be easier to hide and/or fix than bad skin.
