My skin was actually
tons better when I was 15, lol. I started having problems with my skin in my early 20's... I'm almost 32 right now & it's horrible. I used to get so angry at my friends who'd come home from a night out and go to bed without washing the make-up off & never broke out, or people who cry about getting
A zit every month.
I've gone through just about every acne treatment, most were too harsh for me & would end up burning my skin or making it crack & bleed (can't decide if that is lovlier than the huge zits, lol). Last year I went on a 6-month regimen of Accutane... it was AMAZING. Suddenly, I wasn't using facial blotting tissues 5x a day, and I even go a day without showering & my hair didn't look like a grease-pit, hehe. And, my skin cleared up completely, it was beautiful! Since then, I've gone off the pill & started losing weight, so my skin is suffering again. My dermatologist gave me lotions to try (she said people usually respond better to these meds after going on Accutane) - if this doesn't work, I can go on another round of Accutane, which "does the trick" for a large majority of people.
Anywho - kind of a long winded response - but just to let you know, it's NOT unusual and it is treatable (and mine was totally covered by insurance cause it was so bad, and it hurt!) and it's more about genetics & hormones than what you eat.
