Confession About Zits
Every since I was pregnant with Kaylen I have been struggling with (minor - though they sure don't feel that way sometimes) breakouts. The really strange part is I had minor struggles with them all my life but then when I became pregnant with Kelton it was as if zits magically disappeared from my life. I loved that SO much and figured finally it was behind me. And then came my pregnancy with little Miss Thang. Poof! They were back. In fact, I think I started seeing pimples before the line changed on the pregnancy test.
I changed my skin care products which helped some but I'm still fighting them more than I would like. Honestly, I never figured at 42 years of age I'd still have zits popping up here and there. It just doesn't seem fair. I thought it was called "teenage acne" for a reason and once you were done being a teenager, the problem was done. *sigh*
I'm curious so let's get personal. Do you still have acne breakouts every now and again? What products are you finding helpful.

Yes, even at my ripe old age (63). They are less serious now, just one at a time usually. See??? Something GOOD about aging!!!
I'll get the occassional one, but not breakouts really. I use noxema face wash (the one in the tub, not the squirt kind) and that's about it. I don't do make-up, I don't do moisturizers, though I do occasionally use this loreal stuff with sunblock in it.
Michele gets breakouts though and she uses the same stuff i do. it mostly has to do with stress and hormones.
if it bothers you a lot, you can get an Rx for it...i used to have bad acne as a teenager. i used retin-A and some antibiotic, which, as a lovely side effect, gave one long horrible yeast infection after another...TMI? LOL
Lynilu: Something to look forward to! :)
Kristen: I'm happy to say that they don't bother me enough to get an rx (which is good since it takes an act of God to get *me* to the doctor) - just annoying since I was hoping to be well passed this stage at this point in my life.
