Hey Ladies!
I am a happy mother of 3. I am 30 and my skin is driving me crazy! It used to be normal, now it is dry. And that is way before the weather got cooler. It also seems that I have more pimples now then when I was a teenager! I was hoping anyone can tell me of some over the counter products that will help? I would love to go to a dermotoligist, but can't really afford it right now. Any feedback would be great! Thanks, M.
I had the same problem many years ago. Your skin is so dry that it's over producing oil and causing pimples. You need to exfoliate really well (avoiding the pimples) and moisturize really well, day and night. Also, use a moisturizing cleanser like CeraVe, which doesn't strip the oil from your skin. Find the richest moisturizer you can and your problem will go away.
Try ProActiv. My sister, and so many others I know, swear by this stuff. If that's too pricy for you try this...steam your face, then exfoliate and use a mask - twice a week. Boil water and pour it into a bowl...hang a towel over your head so that no steam escapes...after exfoliate and use a clay based mask to absorb the rest...I use St.Ives Apricot scrub and St. Ives Clay Mud Mask. Good Luck!
Just so you know, you are not alone.. I never had any pimples .. and now 35+ -- it seems that I am having the same thing .. it is so frustrating ..I had gone to a dermatologist and she said it is Adulthood Acne .. and I am washing my face with Aveeno product in night and that has helped. I do not have any medicine at this point .. she suggested some fancy Spa stuffs but I am also busy mom of three so just can not afford in terms of time and money, both. But using Aveeno has helped.
Hey M., how are you? I found that after my pregnancy my skin really changed and now use Proactiv .. yes it is on every infomercial, and celebs use it too ... but has really helped clear it out. Good luck!

I started having skin issues after my daughter was born. I am 35. I am now using (and selling) Mary Kay. It has worked wonders on my skin. My face is so much better. Would be happy to give you a Mary Kay make-over and see if you like the products. I know how frustrating skin issues can be.
