Frankie face fix from Tibby Olivier should make a difference
People have been getting great results on their acne with this.

Totally unrelated to skin care but this same thing happened to me - was on the pill for years and when I came off I developed full-blown acne which made me very self conscious. I asked the doctor to refer me to a gynaecologist and after an ultrasound and blood test discovered I had polycystic ovaries even though I didn't have any of the traditional symptoms (hairy, putting on weight etc). The pill up until that point had been keeping my hormone levels under control which is why I never knew I had it. The doc put me back on the pill. It may be worth you visiting your GP just to make sure there's no other underlying cause for your break out xx

Hormones are funny things!! I had great skin as a teenager, the odd spot here & there but never acne!! I get to about 22/23 & develop horrendous acne on my chin I had tried everything (& I mean EVERYTHING!!!) anyway I am going to cut to the chase I use freederm facial cleanser, the one in the pump top it's about £9/£10 from boots, I always stock up when it's on offer, it's half price at the moment!! I use that morning & night, initially I used the rapid spot gel, also from freederm, but my skin is so under control, I now just use the facial cleanser & nothing else !!! It's so gentle & kind to the skin It contains an active ingredient that fights spot causing bacteria!!
It's taken me 10 years to find something that works, I cannot recommend it enough! It probably took 4/6 wks for my skin to calm down but I cannot remember the last time I had an outbreak! I've been using this for probably 10 months & it's fabulous!!! Try it you won't regret it!!!! X
Iv had bad skin skin being pregnant with my 3rd 19months later it hasn't improved if decided to try reflexology instead of lotions and potions! I religiously use dermalogica morning and night, had also thought about the lumie clear light? Had anyot tried it? X
Hello,
Wondering if anyone has any help or advice......
I stopped the pill in March and since then my skin has got worse and worse to the point where I now have acne. I'm so down about it as I always used to have good skin with an occasional spot around my period.
I have really good skin care so not concerned about that, I have a fairly healthy diet, I drink lots of water and eat plenty of fruit although my veg intake could be improved some days. I do however have a sweet tooth and I'm partial to a little bit of chocolate now and again.
I'm convinced its internal, diet/hormones and not skin care but wondered if anyone had any dietary advice or any advice generally. Any help would be great, I'm so down with this
Thanks
Hey, is the reflexology helping?
Hello
Leave dairy out for a month and see what happens.. strongly recommend! also try to eat lots of veggies, fruit, drink water... on youtube you can watch lots of people who cured their acne with a vegan diet (no meat, eggs, dairy) but that might be too extreme I know, however, leaving out dairy can have some amazing results. Good luck!!!!
Thanks, this has crossed my mind, especially with my skin getting worse and worse as the months go on.
How did you feel about going back on the pill? Has it helped you?
I don't eat, diary or gluten or sugar and at first that worked. Now for some reason I can't work out. Mine is back angrier than ever. Bloody hormones.

Is there a reason that you don't want to go back onto the pill?
About 6/7 months ago I change the pill I was on because my skin was a mess! I tried dairy free wheat free gluten free etc you name it it went on my face!
The only thing that made it back to normal was the pill second best was those supplements Vic mentioned in the first comment by IIAA auxumax I think they are called! Expensive but amazing!! Doesn't cause any sensitivity on the skin and help reduce and clear breakouts!!
