It was devastating to me! I got on a topical medication that worked and kept me clear all the time, but stopped using it when I got pregnant. My skin is really nice now (I'm almost 35 weeks) and I hope it stays that way after baby comes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-start-breaking-out-in-your-30s#post-451486 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 11:09:07 +0000 Turd Ferguson 451486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: @LindsayInNYC: Yep, I always broke out when on the pill, usually a few nasty cystic zits around my chin area. But NOW, after being off the pill, it's seriously just ridiculous. I heard from most people that, "Oh yeah, your skin will be fine, mine was even better off the pill!" Lies. Alllll lies. </p> <p>Hahaha, but yeah, I'm sure you'll have better luck! ;)</p> <p>&lt;/threadjack&gt; </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-start-breaking-out-in-your-30s#post-451480 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 11:04:00 +0000 LindsayInNY 451480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I broke out infrequently but sometimes consistently throughout my 20s. My dermatologist said some people just don't outgrow it =/ I finally got a RX cream that has been helping but since we're TTC, I know my days are numbered with it.</p> <p>@MrsBrewer @MsJaneDoe - I just went off BCP so I'm fearful of how my skin will react now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-start-breaking-out-in-your-30s#post-451479 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 11:03:05 +0000 MrsBrewer 451479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ms.janedoe: Oh no! It's worse after getting off BC? I have been on the pill almost 10 years now....and I still break out. IDK what I'm going to do if its get worse! Yuck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-start-breaking-out-in-your-30s#post-451468 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 10:58:05 +0000 Turd Ferguson 451468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: Ugh, same. I went off BCP about a month and a half ago and have just been a MESS ever since. Not cool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-start-breaking-out-in-your-30s#post-451387 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 10:04:55 +0000 MrsBrewer 451387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not 30 yet, I'm 24 but I haven't stopped breaking out yet since I started during puberty! Ugh...I have terrible skin and probably always will. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-start-breaking-out-in-your-30s#post-451315 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 09:37:48 +0000 heartonastring 451315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only since I've been pregnant - nasty, cystic acne. It's improved really significantly in the last couple weeks, thanks to my (doctor-approved) benzoyl peroxide regimen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-start-breaking-out-in-your-30s#post-451180 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 07:41:41 +0000 BKCaribBaby 451180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>35, and I'm still doing ok on that front. Now other things....let me get back to you. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-start-breaking-out-in-your-30s#post-451151 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 04:37:54 +0000 SugarplumsMom 451151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom had adult onset acne, so yeh, I'm so screwed! She broke out in her 40's! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-start-breaking-out-in-your-30s#post-451082 Sun, 16 Dec 2012 23:03:03 +0000 chopsuey 451082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>interestinggggg.. no break outs yet. :T<br /> I had break outs until my mid-late 20s so I'm hoping my skin will be good to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-start-breaking-out-in-your-30s#post-451073 Sun, 16 Dec 2012 22:39:12 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 451073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been breaking out since I was 9. The only time I've had perfect skin was my pregnancy with Wonder Baby. On the plus side, I have no wrinkles thanks to my oily skin! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-start-breaking-out-in-your-30s#post-450993 Sun, 16 Dec 2012 20:00:45 +0000 Jumpingjacks 450993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. turns out for me it was a mild allergy to seeds that was causing my adult breakouts. I cut out all seeds (not as easy as you might think) and my skin cleared up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-start-breaking-out-in-your-30s#post-450991 Sun, 16 Dec 2012 19:55:41 +0000 autumnlove 450991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only a few times during my last pregnancy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-start-breaking-out-in-your-30s#post-450962 Sun, 16 Dec 2012 19:12:58 +0000 Anagram 450962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far, no breakouts. I'm 32. But I never really had bad breakouts as a teenager, either. I mean, I used to get the occasional zit, but it wasn't on a regular basis. I can't remember the last time I had a real zit. This is because my skin is so very dry. The downside of this skin is that it wrinkles super, super easily. </p> <p>My mom was always way more wrinkly than my dad (they were the same age), and both of my older sisters aren't fairing well in the aging department, compared to their friends of the same age. I have significantly more eye wrinkles than my dark-skinned husband. But he had some acne problems, so I guess neither of us has ideal skin.</p> <p>Guess our future LO could either have the best of both worlds, or inherit both of our problems! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-start-breaking-out-in-your-30s#post-450958 Sun, 16 Dec 2012 19:07:00 +0000 tororojo 450958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This makes me sad--I'm 29 and have been on acne meds since high school! I don't think I'll ever get rid of them, but thankfully my skin has behaved pretty well without them during pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-start-breaking-out-in-your-30s#post-448813 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 12:09:05 +0000 shopaholic 448813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh my gosh yes! I started breaking out right about 1/2 year after I turned 30! They were/are these like painful, under-the-skin, cystic kind of breakouts that you couldn't pop! It got REALLY bad my 1st trimester, a little more manageable in 2nd tri, and now a lot better. I've been using Mario Bedescu products and found it's really helped control the crazy, painful breakouts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-start-breaking-out-in-your-30s#post-448788 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 11:57:20 +0000 Mrs. Bee 448788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I recently went to a dermatologist (post forthcoming after my next appt) to discuss my skin. I started breaking out on my chin a couple months ago, and it is extremely rare that I break out. The derm said that it was hormonal, and happens to women in their early 30's and late 30's.</p> <p>Did you start breaking out in your 30s? </p>
