Yes can you believe it I still get Acne. Why didn't I get blessed with that pure sweet looking china like skin? Yes I wash my face but I still every so often get the odd pimple. Maybe it is because I have big pores? Do you think so? Oh yes and once a month still at age 47 I get those few extra ones popping up everywhere. Why is that?

Yes I am saying that all the time. I find when I see someone with not only clear skin but smooth skin I stare. LOL

I am in my late 30s and tend to get breakout about a week before my menses come. Herbs that work wonders at clearing up acne are: Echinacea taken orally and applied externally to the skin, Oregon grape root applied as a cream, tea tree oil applied to the skin, oregano and basil oil applied to the skin or taken orally.

I'm 34 and still have breakouts. I'm expecting at the moment, so my skin is temporarily clear & glowing, but I know once the baby is born it'll be back just like with my other kids. My mom is in her 50s and still breaks out too. I'd guess it must be bad DNA.

I am 40. I only got acne when I was a teenager. My husband has a fair skin and he is also 40. He gets pimples from time to time especially on his nose. When he talked to a doctor about that, he told him that he has rosacea. He lived in Hawaii many years and he was exposed to the sun a lot. So now he has to do a laser treatment and hopefully that will get rid of it.
As for me, I don't have acne but my face skin is very greasy and I don't like that. You see everybody has something heh? Nobody is perfect:-)

I used to break out, but I do not do as much. I try to avoid too much fatty food, which helps. I don't wear makeup and when I am stressed, it is my insides that are affected and down below. I think it is because you do have big pores, because I was breaking out in my teens. You have to be careful of the soap you use. Use on designed for oily skin with an astringent. If you were makeup, get one designed for problem skin that won't clog your pores. I do not know about herbal stuff, but if you go to a health food store and ask the saleslady, she might be able to help you.
