Why is it that when I turned 30, my face is looking like I am a zitty-faced teenager again?

Question

I thought the days of worrying about waking up with zits were over :-(
And I have been using ProActive Solution for like 8 years, too.

Answer 1

Just another reason getting older sucks! Keep using the ProActive. It has always worked for me. If it gets too bad, see a dermatologist.

Answer 2

Even though you're thirty, your hormones are still going wild. Your hormones never really cease to affect your skin, no matter what age.

Dermatologists could be of great help, otherwise ask close friends and/or family members.

It's most likely some sort of chemical reaction, it could be something you're eating? Too many sweets, too many oils can affect the way your skin glows.

I hope you find a solution! Good luck!

Answer 3

I have had an acne problem for a long time and the best thing I have used is the proactive. You have to get either dry skin, oily skin, or combination, but it really does work.

Answer 4

i had and still have the problem once i hit 31, i found that clearisil for me worked wonders but did leave my face red as i have sensitive skin, but clear and clean has some very good products as well as being cheaper.

good luck

Answer 5

It's simple.


Just as it was when you were 16, it happens when you're 30+.


Your hormones are changing, and it's affecting your face.

Answer 6
