Acne problems?

Question

I've always had acne but it wasn't too bad---I've noticed that since I've had my daughter it's gotten worse and it's ALWAYS in the same area which indicates that it's hormonal acne. I've been breaking out Pretty much every day!
Anyone else having the same issues?!

Answer

I made the comment to my husband just the other day that my acne was out of control since I gave birth to our little man. I've got two spots a half-inch apart on my right cheek. So far I am able to "control" them, but I can't make them go away. I use a Neutrogena grapefruit face scrub every night in the shower.

Answer

The only thing that's ever worked for me, as cliche as it sounds, is Proactiv. I've always struggled with bouts of hormonal breakouts as an adult. It sucks!!!! It's usually around my mouth and chin, and since being pregnant my skin has gotten ridiculously oily. I'm still breastfeeding and have my period back so my hormones are all over the place. I've tried every natural remedy under the sun over the years because in general I hate using chemicals but when it comes to Acne I have to use something other than tea tree oil and witch hazel...I don't like it but I also don't like zits covering my face at 36 yrs old 🙄🙄🙄

Answer

Ugh! I've been depressed about my skin the last week as it's gotten worse. I get them on the sides of my cheeks & only there. I've never had this problem until after having baby. I wonder if it's the mini pill or what.. 😩 ProActive made my skin worse, I'm sensitive to all medicated creams especially benzoyl peroxide so basically I use nothing but cocoa butter.
