I have been having problems with pimples. I know this is so disgusting and gross. I
know people have alot of real issues to discuss here, but this has been bugging me.
I no longer eat fatty foods or sugar - and I recently have gotten a few. And I am not talking
little baby ones. I have one now that I think I will have to buy a ticket for to get it in with me
on Saturday to the OH event. Why why why? Where does this come from. For gods sake -
I am fifty - I should be way past this.
Sorry - I had to vent and get this out.

Tammy,

I am sorry you are going through this it is not fun I know my cousin is going through the same thing she is in her 40's. Have you changed your make-up or cleansing products? Also our bodies go through cycles with hormone changes and age this maybe a side effect from that as well.

You may want to go for a facial and have them see if they can find what is going on and suggest some products to you use. I go once a month for one to try and keep things under control.

Good Luck

Hi Beth,
Thanks for your advice. I have not changed makeup or cleansers.
I am booked for a facial on the 18th - I think I need an emergency one now though - lol.

I've known friends who on and off have had this issue. I know that our hormones change so much so I'm thinking it's probably at least partly due to that. A facial is actually and excellent idea! It feels good, helps you relax AND can help work those pimples. You should definitely look at some products that can help too.

Peri menopause/menopause causes lots of women to have pimple breakouts. Without losing weight.

Add in the factor that estrogen is stored in fat and you have lost a lot of fat and have released all that estrogen....well....hence the needed to ticket to the OH event :)

Definately look at some products that can help you and request the help of either a facial person or even a dermatologist (which may be covered under insurance depending on your plan)

And this is a "real" issue too....

Pam,
I am having the facial. If it continues, I will ask my doctor for a referral
to a dermatologist. Thanks for reminding me about that - I did not even
think of it before.

Tammy,

Only you could crack me up, as I read about your "teenage" problem. . . will there be room for me in Ilene's car with your extra passenger coming?

Hugs, Laureen
