Mother Nature is so cruel. Which I think is kind of ironic because she is a mother. I am not quite 30 yet but I have had 4 kids so I have to deal with all the physical joys of that. Lets just say that gravity has already taken a toll on the 'girls' that when I am 80, I probably will have to get them removed because they caused me to fall and break my hip.
I can deal with the fact that I will never have my pre-kids body back, ok fine. I know that I am never going to get back into my 'skinny' jeans. Having multiples pretty much sealed that deal.
But do I have to deal with the skin of a 14 year old boy. Really? I don't really have much to complain about my skin is usually pretty good but this morning I woke up and I seem to be growing a zit that is going to rival my nose in the size department and goodness does it hurt.
Come on Mother Nature. Can't there be a rule that after you have kids and are almost 30 (or over), you don't have to deal with zits any more? You just get to have beautiful blemish free skin. It only seems fair to me. What you do think?

I've heard that you should "embrace" your acne because it means you have "young" skin. Obviously who ever said this is an insane, old skinned person!!
I know - it is a cruel cruel joke that I still have to deal with acne! While I was pregnant I had like these weird patches of acne that stayed from around 4 months or so until shortly after Tyler was born - nothing and I mean NOTHING would take care of them - one on chin area and one between my cheek and nose. "Fabulous" I thought, just what I wanted in those precious pics of me and my precious new baby - acne!!! UGH! Now it is just the normal acne stuff which has ALWAYS been an issue for me - which I have ALWAYS argued with God was not quite so fair - I am sure that when I am 90 and quite wrinkly, I will still be using my acne treatment cream and buying the same face wash all the "youngsters" are buying....it's just NOT right!!! :-)
Ugh ... that was me 6 months ago!
A good dermatologist, some benzoyl peroxide, YAZ! and major daily skin care routines brought my face back to normal. It took over 8+ weeks, but it cleared up.
Make a derm-appt!!!
I agree!! I think if I can tuck my boobs into my pants, I should have flawless skin and hair:-)
Thanks for stopping by today:-) Unfortunately, it isn't open to the public:-( That's why I am including the recipes:-) I love that you want to come though:-)
tell me about it! I swear I look like I'm 45 years old. and I'm pissed about it. I've got batwings, cheek and neck jowls, pimples, crowsfeet, spider veins... I could go on and on but now I'm gonna cry.
Amen to that!
Speaking of.....I've got one on my jaw line right now and it hurts. I'm having a hard time feeling bad about it though while I'm laughing about your girls causing you to break your hip when you are 80. My girls are definitely not the same. Multiples DEFINITELY sealed that deal.......yet I'm pretty sure no amount of gravity could make them extend any further than they do. Now I really DO have a boys body on top. he he.
Notice how I skipped right over the penis post to this one. Uh, maybe you're stressing so much over same post. I hear ya though, my skin is screaming for help. It's stress. Bottom line. They say our skin can tell the world what's going on within.
Yep, me too. But I'm about 6 years ahead of you. Yeah, I'm not sure what to do about the acne. I have tried everything short of Acutane and I'm not willing to do that, so I just cope. I have noticed though, that citric acid will clear up any acne that I already have, it just won't keep it away.
Ak! It's so unfair!!! I've always struggled with acne. When pregnant with child #1 my skin cleared up. It was the only thing I liked about being pregnant. The beautiful skin remained for the next 3 years, until after child 3 was born. Then my hormones switched again and just like that, acne again. yuck! It's so not fair!
Yeah, what is UP with that? Like the stretch marks aren't bad enough!
Amen, sister!
I NEVER had problems with zits in high school. EVER. Now I am almost 32 and it is SO NOT FAIR!!!! Every month my chin breaks out the week before my period. It is awful, I hate it. Stupid hormones.
I want plastic surgery. I want my boobs to defy gravity. Maybe they can deal with my double chin, crows feet, laugh lines, and other saggy bits. But the acne...that I have managed to escape. Knock, knock, knock wood...
I had perfect skin until my 2 girls came along. Now, not so much. How is that fair?
And I'm in desperate need of a good support bra. I saw a picture of myself just recently and would've sworn that my boobs were now growing out of my abdomen because they were so low. Yikes.
I'm right with ya, girl! Seriously, it's a BAD joke.
I've found that Proactiv totally works, but it does a job on your wallet as well. I used it for years and my skin was very thankful. When I got prego, I switched to St. Ives Apricot Scrub for oily/acne skin since I wasn't allowed to use Proactiv anymore. It actually works JUST as well. It's me total best friend....and life saver. Try it. It may take a week or two to start working. You can find it pretty much anywhere.

I've tried EV-ry-thing. Life's so not fair, is it?! Bare Minerals works great as a way to cover it all up, tho'!
OH, I'll never forget, when I was pregnant with my son a co-worker said to me "you must be having a boy." When I asked how she knew, she said "Oh, because, you know what they say: Boys steal from their mothers' looks."
ouch. that one hurt.
Ugh! I am battling the same problem!! I HATE it!
I hear you! Had perfect skin while I was pregnant and now all hell is breaking loose! I'm headed to the Derm soon!
As for my girls... I can't find them anywhere... I don't know what Dottie did to them, they were an 'A' before I got pregnant, a small 'B' while nursing, and now, I'm pretty sure there isn't a cup size small enough for them...
I still break out. I'll probably break out until my dying day. :::sigh:::
I also have the gravity-enhanced boobs.
Just try to think of it this way: If you're young enough to still get a zit, you're not really as old as you may feel.
You can make a new t-shirt for yourself:
STILL YOUNG ENOUGH TO GET ZITS!
I'd buy one.
