When I was in middle school, I had really bad acne. It was so bad that, when I brushed my teeth at night, I turned off the bathroom light so that I didn't have to see my pimples. But when I entered high school, my acne mysteriously started clearing up. I didn't really do anything to make it clear up--no pills, no special diet, no creams, NOTHING. In less than four months, the oilyness of my skin also lessened. And now my skin gets kinda dry at times. I'm really happy that this happened, but I'm still trying to make sense of it. Can someone help me make sense of it???

hormones of course

As you grow out of your teenage years, your body's hormones start to balance out.

I thought of that, but my hormones can't suddenly alter in just three months. I had acne during eight grade. During the summer between 8 and 9th grade, it steadily started clearing.

Yes, it can....and they can come back in your 30's..... It happend to me, LOL!!! Be happy and enjoy the good skin.

Just two things though. Oily skin usually looks younger longer, I'm in now in my 40's. If your skin starts to experience a break out or two, treat the spots, not the whole face, or you can start the whole..."outtawack" cycle again.

Hey, Yorlooksmybiz, is that your photo?

I break out like a week or two before my cycle, that's how I know its coming...

hormones can change just like that, even in one day. Thats the cause of many symptoms of PMS

Hey, Yorlooksmybiz, is that your photo?

Yep, that is I. Having fun with my camera.
I kept the photo to "clearly" illustrate the need to blend/fade foundation to the hair line. BUT "LOL" I like the look !
