Why am I so spotrty?

[SheikYerbouti]

I have pustules on my forehead, chin and neck [boak]

I look like a pizza

I am too old for acne

why oh why oh why

Tis my birthday on Sunday, and I am going out. I do not want to spend the night looking like a deep pan Hawaiian

I have ok cover up stuff, but it never covers it up totally does it?

What can I do to get rid?????

tell me why!!!!

I'm not due on. I had the plaeasure of that a weeks ago

are you going through the change?!

No you cheeky mare

I am ypung and I was fresh faces until Christmas. Now I look minging (well, more minging than before)

it is weather i am spotty too and i never get spots. think am using too strong a moisturiser plus i bought some of those ghastly brillo pads on cod's recommendation and they have disagreed wtih me.

heehee

has anything changed, moisturiser/soap [horrified at use of soap on face emoticon]/make up/contraceptive pill?

I look horrid

I have one on my head thatis so big, it has its own wea6ther system

I can see it from here.

No, haven;t changed a thing.

humph

Mayb I have the pox or something

Fark off you with your bigh litllywhite ass

Is there an X painted on your front door?

Oh i thought that said 'why am I so sporty', so now i'm seeing deep pan hawaiian in a tracksuit, jogging on the spot with bewilderment.

You need to bathe in toothpaste? Are you gorging yourself with chocolate? Are you singing r&b on the back of the bus and snogging school boys? I don't know I really want to help.

I'm hoping my late-onset acne is to do with lack of Vit D and will resolve itself come spring.

I used some of that um loreal (I think) stuff that has a face scrub and then a thing you leave on overnight when I had bad skin and it worked really well.

Hang on thats a rubbish description I will look for a link.

Oh go, I can't go out looking luike this on Sat

I want to be gorgeous b'day girl who turns heads (no that it will happen spots or no spots)

Instr=ead all I will turnis Milk

I didn't have a single spot all through my teens, then when I turned 25 suddenly became horribly spotty. I still keep them at bay. Things that worked -

Yasmin (contraceptive pill)
Duac Daily Gel (from doctor)
Benzoyl Peroxide gel (from chemist over counter)
Tea Tree Oil
Long courses of antibiotics (cleared the acne, but screwed up my immune system, so I'm not sure I can really recommend it)
Sunbed (not enough to get a tan - just 5 mins every couple of weeks as my spots are far worse in winter. Yes, there are risks of course.)

Best cover up I've found is Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage, but if your spot is getting even slightly flakey best not to apply anything at all, it only makes it look worse...

Oh how I sympathise.

It was this stuff

Stopped using it when I got pg and havent used it again since as skin has been ok while bfing but it was very good.

Saying that I'm a bit spotty too atm so could well be the weather. Or it could be because last week I was thinking how good my skin had been lately

Will itm work before sat, or will I have to bag my face?

2oz water
3oz cider vinegar
3tbs honey
3oz ground almonds

mix it all up and keep in a lidded container in the bathroom. rub it into your face twice a day and rinse with water. It stinks, it's messy, but it works. honest.

I will try anything short of burning the spots off with a lighter

Don;t have cider vinegar, will malt/red wine work

No honey in the cupboard, something tells me that golden syrup wont have the same effect

How old are you? Then we can decide whether your menopausal-in-denial...

I am deffo not old enough for The Change
