Does your skin get better after the teen years?!


Question:

Does your skin get better after the teen years?

I've heard a lot about that most teens get acne because of their hormone imbalance causing more oil production and that usually for most their skin gets a lot better after the teen years. I have had acne since I was like 11-12 years old. First it started out small, to mild, to worse, and now it's gotten REALLY bad like all over my face and body and I'm 15 now turning 16 in April. I use ProActiv and took Minocycline but it doesn't help that much. My dad only had little acne for like 1 year during his teens but I've been battling it for like 4 years. Just wondering.. can your skin actually get better starting in your early twenties? I don't want acne forever. No one in my family ever has had bad skin! And I have a pretty good diet. And I take care of my face. =(

And PS- About the hormones which increase the serebum, do the hormones get back to normal after puberty as well?


Answers:

Yeah, your skin can definitely get better after the teen years. I didn't have what I'd call REALLY bad acne, but I did have my share and I thought it was pretty bad at times. Now, I'm 30 and have always been complimented on my skin for years now as looking smooth and clean. I'll still get the occasional pimple or so on occasion, but nothing that I'd even notice now and definitely nothing like back in high school.
