Help! Horrendous spots and bad ski
Posted , 7 users are following.
Help..! To add insult to injury with all other symptoms of the menopause, I'm on a losing battle with my skin. It' red and horrendously spotty and no matter what I try, it does not clear up. Everyday I wake up with a new breakouts.. I' use a tea tree spot treatment every day but I may as well not bother, the pores on my skin seem more exaggerated than before and I have to use a thick foundation to cover it all up. Can anyone recommend anything that has proven to be effective? Thanks

It is more spots but my skin is also red but not overly on cheeks and s little on the nose. The spots are definitely pimples and. The redness is patch and blemishy. Ive heard of roscea but don't really know what it is. Thanks for replying.

Hi Reb,
Tea tree oil is great, but it is an antiseptic and might be too drying for your skin. Dry skin over produces oil and can cause more break outs. It's like a cycle. I've so been there!
As counter intuitive as it sounds, I use argan oil for my pimples and gigantic pores. For me, perimenopause made my skin very sensitive and over producing oil. The over production of oil gives me breakouts.
The argan oil soothes the skin, balances the oil production and clears up the pimples. And, since like dissolves like, the sebum trapped in my pores dissolves. So my pores do look smaller. (The argan oil doesn't fight gravity, but with the pores smaller my skin does look more toned.)

Make sure your are drinking enough water to keep your skin hydrated and do you take a vitamin. D3 supplement?

I think I'm ok on being hydrated but don't take a supplement,. You get vitamin D through the sun? so certainly dont get much this time of year... Or anytime in the UK lol. Thanks for the reply. 😉 x
