[quote=Anonymous]I had normal puberty acne as a teen (forehead, t-zone) and then it went away on its own in my late teens. In my early 30s, acne came back (cheek, jawline). I did try antibiotics, changed birth control (had to change back), nothing really worked. The acne was mild- 3-5 new pimples a week. It's still annoying to deal with it. It was never severe enough to go the accutane route.

I noticed that it was more severe when I didn't sleep enough/was stressed, consumed dairy, fatty foods, didn't take off make up at night (that's a given). Now I make sure  that I sleep at least 8 hrs a night, cut out dairy for the most part (maybe I have cheese/dairy based ice cream a couple times a year), mostly vegetarian (lean meats/seafood 3-4x a week), and I do 45-60 mins heavy cardio at least 5 days a week. About the exercise, something about sweating seems to help purge the toxins from my skin and obviously, it's a de-stressor.

It's not perfect. I still break out, maybe one pimple every weekish. But it goes very quickly. My skin overall looks and feels better.
