Adult Acne??

[Jenn218]

4- Liver Cleanse Again, some people have so many toxins internally that they need to clean from the inside out. I knew a girl who had horrible acne, nothing could cover it. She started taking drops to cleanse her liver and her skin is amazingly clear now.

What are the drops? Did she get them from her doctor?

The acne that I have been getting lately is on my jawline and lower cheeks. I thought it was because of my thyroid, but then, it only started after I used a moisturizer cream.....I mean, I would get a few here and there (especially during that time of the month), but these were bad. I stopped using that cream and the pimples are gone, but not the red marks....I hope they fade away eventually.

This month has been super busy here, so eating healthy has gone on the wayside for awhile.....but next week, is slow and that will be the week I get back to all fruits and veggies for awhile....I hope that helps.

Thanks for all the posts about this....I find it all very interesting and helpful!

It used to be a that time of the month thing for me too... but then again so was the bitch thing... LOL I guess as I get older that time of the month is just getting longer and longer!

My chin, my jaw line and lower cheeks... and lately the hair line??? Its just not cool! I swear, I am not happy about it one bit.

I was going to try the Proactive but i had read that it was a bit harsh on older skin.

I might just stick with Murad. They have parducts for older and aging skin as well. I love their lines and they have products targeted towards every problem you can think of. Even the dark spots left behind after these things heal.. LOL

Hormones SUCK!

My poor 11 year old is cycling right along with me right now... she has yet to start, but her moods and whatnot are right there! I told her the other day, as she was curled up on the sofa crying, that her whores were moaning! LOL she laughed and asked me what I meant... I just explaned the whole rollercoaster ride to her... Twists and turns and all! I told her that all she was missing was the "show" lol She was Laughing her butt off when I was done... But crying a couple of hours later... Over God knows what???


So how old do I have to be for this face crap to stop??? This is NOT my idea of growing old gracefully! (Not that I had any intention of doing so in the first place!)

I just looked and one of the meds that the dermotologist gave to my daughter was Differn - it is a gel that is not as harsh on her skin. It seemed to work, but like everything else, it seemed to quit working after several months. She had a use some sort of medicated wipes on her face before the gel.

We are still awaiting a "cure"!!! (hee,hee)

I don't know about a miracle cure, but I do know that with my beer goggles on I look hot!! I don't notice them at all.

a ha ha ha ha Ok, I'm just kidding.

I wish I had the cure too. Drives me nuts. I'm taking my daughter to the dermatologist next month for her psoriasis. She's got those little tiny blackhead looking things around her mouth. I'm going to ask, I'll let you know what he says.

Let me tell you my story.

I was about the same age as you when I started breaking out all over my neck, jaw, chin, back of my neck. It was horrible. And they weren't regular pimples, they were little tiny white heads. Well, I pretty much tolerated it for a year and a half, trying everything out there, but nothing worked. It seemed about every month, they'd break out real bad, and then after a couple of weeks, settle down only to come back again the following month. So I started thinking it was hormonal--related to my cycle or something.

Well...we moved into a new house, and after a short while, it seemed I stopped getting them. So then I started thinking I was allergic to something in my old house (carpet, mold? I don't know.)

So, time goes by, and I decided to go and get my hair done by the girl I used to get it done with. It had been a few months since I had been to her. So guess what. Shortly after I got my hair done, they came back. I put 2 and 2 together and decided that I was getting something from the cape at my hairdresser. I haven't been back and I haven't gotten them again.

So, it may not be acne...

I used to have breakouts all the time until I start using Philosophy Purity cleanser. I think It has been a good 2 months with no breakouts now. I just love the line. I am obessed I have to have more. They have skin care, bath and body products.

My girls both use Proactiv and it has really made a differnce in their skin. It has only been a couple week and they are getting much less breakouts. They are only using it at night too. I think if I could get them to use it twice a day they would be totally clear by now.

I'm still gonna SWEAR by Benzyclin. It's prescription but worked like a miracle for me. i have been getting bad acne for over 30 years and this stuff worked like it was sent by a divine being. I would have sold my soul to have this stuff when I had been a teenager.
Just a note. Different things work different for different people and this stuff was just MY miracle drug

I seem to get the same thing. Thanks for all the post - I will have to try some of the products mentioned.

I get them at the hairline too! I so thought I'd be done with this stuff by now. It's really bad right now, but I *have* been under a lot of stress lately.

[Ciera's mom]

When I was pregnant (both times), I broke out really bad and it felt like the cyst things under the skin. I even got them horribly on my chest and back. Now, where they were, I no longer have the bumps but the red marks like scarring. After, I had them, I no longer break out on my back and chest anymore. I do however, still break out on my chin, cheeks, and hairline as well as sometimes right between my eyes. What would be good to help with getting rid of the marks from where they have been?
