I’m in my 30s and I’m still as spotty as I was when I was a teenager. In every other way I am fit and healthy, but the spots are really getting me down. I drink a ton of water, eat all the right things and seem to have tried every lotion and potion out there. Everyone else I know has such good skin and can step out in just tinted moisturiser, whereas I have to wear foundation to cover the massive spots on my cheeks, chin and forehead. FWIW, I generally only tend to wear makeup once a week (if that). The rest of the time I’m at work where I don’t generally need to wear makeup.
My mum was quite spotty throughout her life so I’m wondering if it’s actually a genetic thing? It’s really getting me down now and I don’t know what to do. If it IS genetic then surely there will be no lotion or potion that can help? AIBU to just resign myself to being spotty forever. What does everyone else do to get clear skin?

To think it MUST be genetics?!
