I’m so frustrated today. I am broke out like a teen-ager and I’m 43. When I was a kid I didn’t have bad skin, but as I got older - in my early 20’s - my skin was terrible. I was in a bad marriage at that time, and I’m sure much of it was stress related.
But today? I am looking forward to having company this weekend - DH’s older kids and grandkids are coming Saturday through Monday. Our kids start school on Tuesday, so maybe I’m a little stressed about getting them settled into a new routine - I don’t know.
What’s the difference between a few blemishes and acne? Do I need acne treatments?
I can relate. I’m a mature woman and have suffered from worse acne now than I ever did as a teen. I believe mine is from stress and food allergies.
I got so fed up looking like a connect-the-dots puzzle, I went and got some Neutrogena products. All of them have been working FABULOUSLY, but the one that’s the major zit-killer is Neutrogena’s Rapid Clear. It’s just like the name says. It rapidly clears the zips if you follow the directions on the box.
All the best to you.
I feel ya! I have way more acne than I did when I was a teenager…though I don’t think that it requires acne treatments. Usually that is a result of having so many pimples on your face that it looks like raw hamburger meat. I usually only have one maybe two on my face at at time a month. Not bad, I suppose.
I am 48 and my eczema has been worse since I entered my 40s. Single parenting two boys with autism is my stress that aggravates the skin, plusn the summer weather does not help.
Good luck
