I'm getting back to that now, which is awesome because for awhile in my mid twenties it was bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-good-skin-in-high-school#post-851448 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 13:02:38 +0000 autumnlove 851448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was bad my freshman year then I started using Retin A and it was gloriously clear for the rest of high school! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-good-skin-in-high-school#post-851425 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 12:59:05 +0000 Alivoo01 851425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! I had crazy breakouts, but I think it was because I didn't know how to care for it. I just washed it with whatever my mom bought me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-good-skin-in-high-school#post-851378 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 12:46:02 +0000 Caly 851378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thankfully, *knock on wood* I've always had pretty good skin. A wee bit dry at times but nothing that a good moisturizer can't fix. Now, in my younger years I had many other unfortunate things going for me to make up for it...you know, braces, glasses, bangs, all-around dorkiness. I'm cringing just thinking about it. Heh </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-good-skin-in-high-school#post-851375 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 12:45:18 +0000 MrsKoala 851375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, I had great skin in high school. Never had acne until college. Now, it's terrible! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-good-skin-in-high-school#post-851368 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 12:43:58 +0000 IRunForFun 851368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a bad case of acne when I was in like 8th/9th grade that the doctor prescribed Retin-A for and I had an allergic reaction to it. It sort of cleared up later on in high school, with the occasional breakout.</p> <p>My skin has been breaking out A LOT though in recent months and I can't figure out why. I try not to use harsh products on it so I do natural cleansers and lotions and use witch hazel as toner, but ugh. Whhhyyyy do I have acne at almost 30!? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-good-skin-in-high-school#post-851360 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 12:42:03 +0000 mrsjazz 851360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: Ditto I had bad skin in high school and still do at 35. I have to look on the bright side with my oily skin--yes I have blemishes now--but the wrinkles will stay away longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-good-skin-in-high-school#post-851334 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 12:35:46 +0000 .twist. 851334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been super lucky too. I've had pretty good skin my whole life. A little dry, but that's nothing to complain about! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-good-skin-in-high-school#post-851322 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 12:31:06 +0000 ladyfingers 851322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did. I have always had horrible cystic acne but I took a course of Accutane in the 8th grade and my skin remained pretty good until I was out of college. I go through phases where I use topicals, it clears up, I go off them, it stays good for a while, then it gets bad again.</p> <p>I had to abandon the prescription topicals during pregnancy and my skin got kinda bad but now post partum it's been pretty clear. It's still scarred and whatnot, but at least you can cover that with makeup. I think maybe the hormone balance I've got going on from not being pregnant but still breastfeeding, are doing good for my skin? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-good-skin-in-high-school#post-849696 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 20:50:00 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 849696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been really lucky with my skin. I hardly get any blemishes.</p> <p>I had HORRIBLE acne with my pregnancy, even on my back and shoulders, that left scars.</p> <p>My skin went back to normal after delivery, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-good-skin-in-high-school#post-849685 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 20:45:53 +0000 Ra 849685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been incredibly lucky with my skin. Both of my brothers had acne in middle/high school but I never had more than the occasional breakout. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-good-skin-in-high-school#post-849672 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 20:40:33 +0000 stargal 849672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had terrible acne as a teen. it was so bad and embarrassing and really messed with my self confidence! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-good-skin-in-high-school#post-849656 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 20:36:50 +0000 swedishfish 849656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My skin was so bad I was on Accutane for a while. It's been great throughout my twenties except for parts of this pregnancy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-good-skin-in-high-school#post-849654 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 20:36:07 +0000 Pepper 849654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My skin was awesome in high school. After I went off birth control in my mid twenties, I broke out a lot. My skin was terrible for awhile... but now pregnancy hormones are helping it out a bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-good-skin-in-high-school#post-849645 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 20:34:35 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 849645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't get many breakouts in high school. I feel like I get more now even though my skin care regime is better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-good-skin-in-high-school#post-849638 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 20:32:57 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 849638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It wasn't horrible! Occasional break outs but pretty good for the most part. </p> <p>It's horrible now since going off BCP. Actually stocked up on new products today to hopefully help! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-good-skin-in-high-school#post-849637 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 20:32:49 +0000 Anagram 849637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always had dry skin, so have never had problems with acne. But hello wrinkles in my 30's for the other side of that coin. Blah. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-good-skin-in-high-school#post-849593 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 20:19:18 +0000 Lindsay05 849593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awful in high school. In fact I saw someone I knew z few years after graduating and they said I looked different. 'Oh I know, your skin cleared up' Ummm thanks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-good-skin-in-high-school#post-849585 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 20:17:18 +0000 chopsuey 849585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My skin was terrible in middle school, but cleared up in high school.<br /> It's pretty decent now considering I haven't been taking care of it much. DS touches my face a lot and sticks his hands in his mouth so I don't like wearing lotion/spf unless I go out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-good-skin-in-high-school#post-849569 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 20:10:26 +0000 Mrs. Pen 849569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always had really bad skin prone to blemishes. It sucks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-good-skin-in-high-school#post-849554 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 20:04:32 +0000 mrbee 849554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My skin wasn't great in high school... but in retrospect, I had no skin care regimen whatsoever. It got better in college, and then by the time I graduated I didn't really get breakouts. Thank goodness because I was working in corporate America and I think there is a lot of discrimination against bad skin in the Fortune 500.</p> <p>My skin now is pretty average... it doesn't glow or anything ha. I'm finally taking decent care of it though.</p> <p>Did you have good skin in high school? How had it changed over the years? </p>
