I never really had spots as a teenager and only started getting them in my early 20s, usually it's just one or two, so I can't really complain Mamadee on "How old are you, and do you still get zits?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-are-you-and-do-you-still-get-zits/page/2#post-1327137 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 23:02:41 +0000 Mamadee 1327137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 25 and I've always had terrible skin. I started getting acne in the 5th grade (tragic). The only time I didn't have acne was when I was pregnant. My skin just magically cleared up. Now it's back with a vengeance!

I read somewhere that zits on the chin are tend to be hormonally related but I have no idea where I read that or if it's even true. bisous on "How old are you, and do you still get zits?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-are-you-and-do-you-still-get-zits/page/2#post-1326968 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 21:32:33 +0000 bisous 1326968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 28 and yes. Pregnancy and the few months after were great for my skin! I inevitably get a zit or two in the days leading up to my period and I swear that a night of drinking normally causes one or two within a few days, too. sera_87 on "How old are you, and do you still get zits?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-are-you-and-do-you-still-get-zits/page/2#post-1326958 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 21:27:06 +0000 sera_87 1326958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 26 and occasionally.

My skin was crappy during pregnancy and after. I'm hoping when I wean and my hormones go back to normal it will get better (or maybe I just need to go on the pill again). I'm 32.

Urgh, so horrible. And now my skin is less oily than it used to be, so when I use acne products, it makes my skin dry and flaky.... blech. The ones that I get tend to be whiteheads that need to be popped. SO GROSS! And sometimes leave scars. :sad: ineebee on "How old are you, and do you still get zits?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-are-you-and-do-you-still-get-zits/page/2#post-1326355 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 17:03:45 +0000 ineebee 1326355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 31 and YES. I hate it more than anything! Always had a problem with mild acne, but it's a symptom of PCOS, which I have, so I'll blame it on that! deactivated_account on "How old are you, and do you still get zits?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-are-you-and-do-you-still-get-zits#post-1325460 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 13:45:11 +0000 deactivated_account 1325460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 31 and yes.... never had a problem before BC and while on BC. But once I got off of it, my skin went crazy! Finally after a year or more, my skin has calmed down. But I still do get a little bit of skin issues each month for a day or so that I can guess have something to do with my cycle.... so fun..... meredithNYC on "How old are you, and do you still get zits?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-are-you-and-do-you-still-get-zits#post-1325457 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 13:44:21 +0000 meredithNYC 1325457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'm 32 and have had pretty clear skin for my whole life.

They started popping up after a few months off of BC. Got pregnant. Terrible/greasy teenager flare up for a couple months. Now 6 months in, and my skin is sooooo nice. I'm afraid to not be pregnant though. I think they will come back! petunia354 on "How old are you, and do you still get zits?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-are-you-and-do-you-still-get-zits#post-1325330 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 13:18:36 +0000 petunia354 1325330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My skin is decent, definitely get the occasional pimple here and there, I am 28. However, my skin was atrocious during my pregnancy and didn't get better until maybe 6-8 weeks postpartum. It was so bad that I would decline social invitations and they were so deep and painful and would last fooorever. I'm hoping I get the "glow" during my next pregnancy!

Hated it!! At least it's a sign of her impending visit?

Not that often and not very badly, I went through a phase in my 20s where I had bad breakouts on my cheeks. Now I get them once in a while.

Before though I'd get random ones sometimes. sandy on "How old are you, and do you still get zits?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-are-you-and-do-you-still-get-zits#post-1325165 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 12:28:53 +0000 sandy 1325165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Littlebit: I had to do like 4-5 courses of accutane...and my skin is so much better now. It would work but come back after a year. I think my last course of accutane was when I was 25 and after that my skin was so much better. I still get occasional zits but nothing like before and it's much more rare...like maybe one or two small zits every few months rather than several zits nonstop. I have no regrets...just wish I had done my treatments earlier so my skin wasn't so damaged/scarred. I know you are pregnant right now though so maybe you can revisit the issue in a few years after baby :)
