Pimples On My 50 Yr Old Face!

[doxieville 799]

....and I have no clue what to use. Yes, I will make an appointment with my dermatologist, but in the meantime what do I use? I have no clue and I have one on my jaw that hurts. In my youth I used Witch Hazel and Clearasil. Does Clearasil even still exist?

Gotta love the hormones being released in my fat, but this is crazy. Pimples and wrinkles!

Clearasil is still around - but it's pretty potent. I'm 31, still get hormonal acne. At the moment I use an antibacterial soap followed with moo goo products. Love them! I find I

Just can't use the supermarket products anymore because my skin isn't oily

If you want to use something to get you by, there is a Neutrogena product at Walmart that I bought to help with the oiliness after surgery called "Oil Free Acne Wash" -Pink grapefruit foaming scrub- I love it bc it exfoliates and keeps the oil content down on my face (which I've experienced a ton of since surgery). It also smells really nice and fresh so I have been pleased. My face hasn't cleared up completely, but I can tell a notable difference since I got it. The breakouts have been driving me crazy. Good luck!

It’s a combination of the hormones being released from your stored fat cells and kinda a detox your doing with the change in diet the Water change of food its like flushing your system so the combination of the 2 is giving you crazy skin.

Hm, I have not run into this yet and am about 90 lb down. Maybe it won't happen? I do also have to say I have always been a Water freak on a daily basis, have done several cleans in the past and also sit in my sauna about once a week. Even at my heaviest, I would drink water like there was no tomorrow. I suppose it is not a bad thing, but did wear out quite a few waitresses when I went out to eat with the family.

Lucky you! I am envious. I too have always drank water like a mad person, but 4 days out of the hospital I broke out like crazy and it is still happening. I am even broken out on my chest which is insane to me and driving me a little batty. I am hoping my body is just purging since I'm newly sleeved and this will stop soon. I told my hubby that I can't believe it is happening with as much water as I drink on a regular basis, but here I am.

Me too!! I've always been a HUGE Water drinker- still pretty much am, thank goodness. I didnt do saunas and stuff, but I'm thinking I'm going to start.

A pimple popped up on my chest this afternoon!! Arg!! And I can't believe how much the one on my jawline hurts. I will look at kids with pimples in even MORE sympathy now!!
