Usually, pimples appear more on teenagers because they secrete oily substances a lot. When bacteria mix with the oil, infection and then pimples result. In your case, your body may still secrete a lot of oil, maybe due to the types of food you eat (oily), or your body may just have that oily characteristics. You may see a dermatologist for a better advice, or you may just have to live with it and just hope that it will eventually disappear...Lack of sleep may also be another cause. Try to make a research on the other possible causes. Who knows, the solution may come from changing your lifestyle.

I turned 30 a couple of years ago and I'm blessed with great skin, I look after it by using an anti-aging moisturiser or a sirum under the moisturiser and even thought I can't be bothered but once you turn 30 you really need to cleanse your face at night and use a good night cream your skin repairs itself while you sleep at night and can harbor germs dirt and bacteria from the day before..its worse if you leave make up on over night. Nourish your skin from the inside by eating a lot of fruit and vegies and flush out toxins by drinking a lot of water.

I wouldn't waste my money if I were u. It's all in the genes. My Mum's 59 and still looks 45, and her brother's 70 and looks no older than 60, but they're both just fit, healthy, & have good genes. Mum uses cheap moisturiser & always has done, & doesn't bother with any make-up. Yet my friend's Mum is 60, uses pricey moisturiser etc, and looks nearly 70!

It COULD be ingrown hairs. A skin specialist will tell you if they are or not. Many people who sit around a lot (drivers, office workers) get a few ingrown hairs there, and they can end up like pimples.

Acne Vulgaris is an inflammatory disease of the skin, caused by changes in the pilosebaceous units (skin structures consisting of a hair follicle and its associated sebaceous gland). Acne lesions are commonly referred to as pimples or zits.\n\nThe condition is common in puberty as a result of an abnormal response to normal levels of the male hormone testosterone. The response for most people diminishes over time and acne thus tends to disappear, or at least decrease, after one reaches their early twenties. There is, however, no way to predict how long it will take for it to disappear entirely, and some individuals will continue to suffer from acne decades later, into their thirties and forties and even beyond. Acne affects a large percentage of humans at some stage in life.\n\nbut not every single person

Hi\nYeah thats normal. Your hormones are creating havoc with your skin. It should settle down when you are around 16-20 years.\nWhat you  could do is\n1. NEver pick at them. it leaves scars. \n2. Washing face a  couple of times a day with a good face wash helps.\n3. Reduce the fried foods.\n4. If you hav ea   really huge one and you absolutely need to get rid of it  try putting colgate toothpaste on it :). not the gel variety but the original white pasty one. 2 nights of that should do the trick.\nAll this advice comes out of experience and a  couple of pimple scars!\n\n8 months is way too long. You should meet a  doc asap cos its around this age that PCOD sets in. You'll start putting on weight too. You may need to take birth control pills to regulate your cycles

You need to see a dermatologist, you might need a prescription.  There are also adult facial cleansers for acne.

It's actualy sort of a myth that particular foods cause pimples - it is hormones.  Food doesn't cause it, so you can eat what you want: http://ask.yahoo.com/ask/20050412.html

Nature's Cure works pretty good. I also think you should wash your face in the morning and before bed and also moisturize. Your skin will be better off when you are older.

I'm 32 and I still break out with my period. It totally sucks. Like being on your period isn't bad enough! The breakouts are caused by hormones. See your gynecologist - he can prescribe a birth control (Ortho Tricyclen) that will actually help with break outs, or a mild antibiotic that will help keep your skin clear. Also, just keep taking care of your skin and drink lots of water everyday. Unfortunately, some things you just have to deal with.

Good question!   They say it's never too young to start worrying about that!   Glycolic acids, alpha hydroxy acids and retinol products are designed to help prevent fine lines and age spots, the key words are HELP and FINE LINES.  If you wait long enough to actually have deep set wrinkles then only a face lift will help.  Creams are not magic so using them at age 20 will get you into the habit of using them when you really need them.  At age 20, you still have perfect skin but the collagen in your skin will gradually break down when your in your late 20's and early 30's and start producing fine lines.   Stay out of the sun and don't smoke (smoking also breaks down collagen faster)   If your going to spend the money on over the counter products, make sure you do some research, there are so many otc products and alot of them are garbage.

acne is pimples or irritated and clogged pores. It happens to teens most because of puberty and the horomone changes that occur during it.

Not for nothing, but it comes down to genetics really.\nLike it or not, smoking, in any form catches up with you.\nMy friend has been to 2 seperate dermatologist that say if ya dont give up all stuff your doing ( ie. drinking, smoking ) it'll all hit ya around 35!!\nSo, to me, it seems genetics is what gives ya either a youthful look, or not.

First, make sure you have a good skin cleanser, since oily skin is worse for "zits"-pimples. There are numerous good skin cleansers and medications like Clearasil at most pharmacies and department stores. If you use a foundation make-up, be sure to get one that says "non-oily". Teenagers and adults get "zits" at various times in their lives due to stress, hormones, etc. If the above doesn't help, call a dermatologist (skin doctor) or any your regular doctor to refer you to a dermatologist. Most teenagers will outgrow "zits". Try to keep a positive attitude and lower your intake of fried foods and chocolate.
