9 year old dd getting spots

My 9 year old dd has just started getting spots over the last few weeks on her chin and cheeks. Up till now she has just been washing her face with water. She has quite sensitive skin that normally can get dry so I'm not sure what's the best place to start when it comes to skin care for her face. Doed anyone have dds that are starting to get spotty around that age and what do they use?

Dd has also become much moodier than normal, she's always had a bit of an attitude at home but its worse than ever and she's started having fall outs constantly with her friends as well which is new. Is this puberty starting? I wasn't expecting this for another year or two.

DS1 who is 9 started getting a few spots a couple of months ago. I bought him some Simple face wash as he too had only been using water up until that point. Using face wash has cleared up his face really well and as he had a bit of dry skin I also used some Aveeno and now he looks glowing again!

Thanks. She uses aveeno on the rest of her body because he skin gets dry so that's a good idea. I'll pick up some of the simple face wash next time I'm at the shops.
