Teenage acne at my age

[Jen]

Ok can someone please tell me why I have spots? I am 37 and am now being attacked by teenage acne. I know I’m young at heart but this is ridiculous.
Any tips or remedies that work, it’s really getting me down now. I know I could go to the doctors to get antibiotics but didn’t really want to have to take long term tablets/potions.

Jen do you drink much water in the day?

I'm 27, & Ive never got rid of my acne! Have you started using anything new that could have caused it? Id advise just to keep your face really clean, if you wear makeup, just thoroughly clean it off, & use tea tree oil on the spots, you should be able to get it in the oil or a treatment stick. Or Ive even used Sudocream (nappy cream) & that does work if they need drying out. Hope this is some help.x

You could be dehydrated, & that affects your skin. I know I dont drink enough, but Ive noticed that when I do drink alot of water, my skin does get clearer.

some woman was on the wright stuff and said you need to drink loads of water , some oliy fish and some citrus for your skin, if you smoke that's really bad.

I know how you feel I never seem to havegone past teenage stage plus I have a moustache :angry:

gosh don't I sound pretty

[Jen]

As from last night have started to drink loads of water. I've never smoked so I can't blame that.
oh well looks like I am going to have to go for the healthy living thing:wacko:
I could do with shreading a few (ok lots) of pounds.

must be something in the weather as I have suddenly got loads of spots too. Never been completely clear but not this bad.

This has happened to me too...spots for the fist time at 29. I went to my GP, she said women should always get this sort of thing checked as spots later in life can be a sign of a hormone imbalance....

Anyway my hormones are all over the place, but she also gave me some antibiotic gel to use for 2 months. I've been using it for 3 days now and they're almost gone already!

It had been really getting me down, I just wished I'd been to the GP earlier about them.

Funny you should say that Pie as my periods have dramatically altered too. Guess I should take myself off to the GP
