18/f
Im going to explain my history with acne. It began when I was 10 or 11 and all the way up to 15 it was pretty bad. It wasnt the kind that was clustered and left craters, but they were scattered across my face. I got pregnant at 15, and for the first half of my pregnancy my face became worse, then BAM it cleared up. Maybe only having 1 or 2 pimples at a time. It has remained that way since.
The past few months, Ive been starting to get my acne back, and my face has been really oily. I have about 6 pimples right now (not THAT bad, i know). Its not as bad as it used to be but I miss my clear face :( I am a little stressed but who isnt haha. My diet, my lifestyle..etc has not changed at all. Ive been using clean and clear, the 3 piece kit, twice a day. Proactiv never worked for me.
Basically, two questions:
Why did my acne all of a sudden change to break outs and being oily?
What products should I use now that my skin has changed? For breakouts, oiliness, plus I get marks really easily.

When you were pregnant your body went through a huge burst of hormonal changes and has taken some time to recuperate. Go to your doctor and talk to them about it, they'll have more information on how it's happening and how to help your acne. They may prescribe you medication and creams for it. You can also drop by your pharmacy and ask them what you can do if you don't want to go to the doctor just yet. [ xXxPuNki-PiXiExXx's advice column | Ask xXxPuNki-PiXiExXx A Question ]
