I am 31 and on birth control pills (ortho-Tri) which is supposed to help mild acne. I have never had acne in my life until I turned 30. Now, every month both during and the week after my period I get these huge deep painful pimples on my chin that take weeks to go away. I have tried skin care for acne and not only does it do nothing, it dries out my skin creating dry lines and wrinkles. Then I have acne AND wrinkles! HELP!
Answer
It doesn't matter if you're 6 or 60, male or female. Acne on your skin means there is something going wrong in your body. Acne is an indication that something is wrong inside; there is absolutely no reason why anyone should have acne and you certainly shouldn't just have to deal with it. It is very treatable and as long as you deal with the real problems, you'll never have to worry about it ever again.
So why is all acne hormonal? Well it stems, for most of us, from our diets. Something like 90% of the food we eat these days is processed in some form. While this helps with distribution and helps keep food from spoiling, it also plays havoc on our bodies. We, as human beings, are still pretty much built the same way we were thousands of years ago. As such, our body knows how to digest natural whole foods. It doesn't know what to do with all the added chemicals and other junk in our food.
So when we eat a typical meal, our body overreacts a bit. Since many of our meals have a lot of simple carbs, our body see's this influx as a huge danger. Simple carbs break down into sugar in our blood stream. To much sugar in our blood stream can lead to things like blindness and death, which are pretty bad. So the body releases a flood of insulin to take care of all this sugar. But since the release of insulin was so large, we have a new problem.
Now our blood sugar has dropped to low, which can lead to coma's and death. Again, very bad things I'm sure you'll agree. So now the body releases androgens, hormones which help stabilize our blood sugar but also cause us to crave food to get our blood sugar levels back in line. Except now, since our blood sugar has dropped to low, the body wants to get blood sugar levels back up now. These androgens cause us to crave sweet, salty, and carb based foods. In other words, the very same foods that caused this mess in the first place.
Now this wouldn't be so bad, but these wild swings happen over and over throughout our lives. The swings start getting wilder and bigger which leads to excess amounts of hormones and toxins floating around in our body. To much insulin and androgens in our body leads causes our sebum glands to make to much oil and also causes our skin to thicken, dry up and die off faster than normal, which in turn lead to acne breakouts.
Now normally, our body can deal with these excess hormones and does so in a timely manner. But for many people, these swings have gotten so big and the amount of hormones has gotten so large that our system is just to tired and taxed to keep up anymore. It can't clear the hormones away fast enough.
On top of this, many people have other problems that lead to acne breakouts. We have vitamin deficiencies from improper diet, we don't get enough rest, we don't get enough time in the sun (which is very beneficial to our health), and most of us are under a lot of stress throughout the day. Diet plays a humongous role when it comes to acne, but there are other factors as well.

How To Look And Feel My Best Every School Day?
My Name Is
How do I improve my appearance? make up, hair, clothes, skin care stuff, body and exercise, other? I am confident, but I'm a perfectionist, if you will.. haha. but a few tips on personality and stuff would be cool toooo. A long answer would be nice!! thanks in advance!!!!
Answer
Feeling good about yourself in my eyes, is one of the biggest parts that will make or break a day at school. When you feel good about yourself, inside and out, you will be nice to others, and actually try at school, instead of worrying on how you look,or if the cute boy who sits next to you is thinking you dont look so great, once you will good about yourself/appearance you will be nearly unstoppable! So i'll give you some tips that i've used when i was in high school (just graduated) that made me school days beautiful and fun! <3
First I'd like to start with the "body and exercise", i'm not sure on your weight or height, but no matter that numbers, for diet wise, remember to eat what you like, but in average to small amounts, it's important not to completly starve yourself, because once i went through a plase when i didnt eat for a whole summer, i stopped my own period, my hair was dead, and fell out, and my skin was horrible.. so remember to eat good food, but dont over eat, and you will be fine. now for the exercise, i enjoyed the wii fit, but if you dont have that, dont worry! you can put on your favorite music and CRAZY dance all over your room, do some dance moves you wouldnt dare do infront of everyone else, so this for about 30 mins a day, and you will tone up almost all muscles in your body, you'll get a dancers body, by just being wild and having fun! With these tips, your body will be healthy and happy, you will look hot and your skin,hair, and nails, will already have a very natural and healthy well being, where you can look beautiful even without the makeup and all that... but we know that all the makeup and jazz is the best part so.....
TIME FOR MAKEUP! (: which is my favorite part because im going to beauty college this fall.
Now Im not quite sure what you look like but let me tell you some AMAZING products to use and fun trendy moden ways to doy uor makeup..
They key is to make it where you dont have to take hours getting ready, this makeup routine should last about 5-8 mins.. For your face, use Hard Candy Tinted Moisturizer, they sell this at Walmart, it is a great product to use, it will provide a mouistizer all day long, and with this i use a bit of liquid foundation to add a bit more coverage, and for foundation use whatever you like to use, i dont have a favorite, then i apply a powder, cover girl true blend, to seal the foundation, then i use a eye shadow that goes good with my eyes, but let me tell you a nude color with shimmer, will look amazing on every eye color, Naked Lunch by MAC or Sin by Urband Decay are great eye shadows! For eyeliner I line my water line with black and then at the top lash line i apply liquid liner cover girl exact liner, i make it into a cat eye, this will open your eyes and make them look a bit sexy. Then i curl my lashed and apply two coats of mascara, lash blast or cover girl exact eye lights are great mascaras! while your lashes are drying, i apply a lip balm and a light pink color, or a nide color, i ike bonne bell lip gloss in strawberry parfait! then take your eye lash curler and put a hair dryer to it for 5 seconds to wamr it up then curl your coated lashes, they should look HUGE! add a bit of pink blush to your cheeks, and you should look like a doll <3
For hair, I simply straighten mine and put it into almost like a snooki poof, but not as outrageous! or braif your bangs and put them to the side, this looks so vintage and uniquie!! orrr when your hair is wet after the shower put it in to 3 french briads and sleep, when you wake up take them out and tossle them around and hair spray scrunch and youll get amazing wavy hair! Make sure to try Organix shampoos, they have them at walmart they small amazing and are greaat on your hair!
For skin care, just idenifty your skin type, and go to the walmart isle that has skin care stuff, get a daily face wash, an exfoliating face wash and a face wash for your skin type. then buy the oxy pads or stridex pads to use after the shower, for a great spot zit cream buy zapzyt this gets rids of zits like magic, then if you want buy facial masks to use on the weekends these will clean your pores and make your skin feel so fresh! moisturize your face after your shower everyday, this will be the best thing you have ever done for your skin! and this is a good thing to do, boil water, put a towel over your head and put your face over the boiling water pot, let the steam clean your pores, stay in there for about 15 mins, your face will be free of all the toxins!
And for personality.... Keep in mind that you are you and people enjoy you because of your uniquie perks, dont change yourself. but remember to be a happy girl, everyone loves someone who can bring sunshine into their day each day, make sure you are there for a friend, and dont be mean, just be relaxed, if someone starts something, just be more mature, people will respect that.
<3 i hope i helped!
