Acne Break Out In Late Teens? What Can I Do?
I turned 18 two months ago and I still keep getting breakouts! The weird thing is I only broke out sometimes when I hit puberty around 13, after that I had really great skin till a few months after I turned 17 I got a huge breakouts on my cheeks and for the past year I keep getting these sporadic big breakouts. I’m confused because I thought acne gets better as you get older? I’m on Yaz birth control too now and it’s fourth going into fifth months and at first my skin was really clear but now it’s doing it again! I had four pimples on my cheek last week, now two above my lip and one next to my nose. Why is this happening? What can I do? I hate going out like this!

I’m 36 and I still break out but i must say that Neutrogena acne stress control products really does work. I seldom break out so I’m happy
You may be having a reaction to your Yaz. the acne is related to your hormones. Drinking water will help and cutting out sugar. Other than that, may be you need a lower dose ask your doctor. Keep in mind that if you are taking the pill one of the side effects are infections that can make you sterile. Happened to me.
well i dont have bad breakouts but i use this new thing that came out a few months ago called “the wave” they sell them at walmart in the beauty section i think i paid 13 dollars for one and you use it once a day for atleast five minutes.and i have seen my skin clear up and look great since i got it.
