A post from eight years ago, when I had not been blogging for very long. It is reposted for the benefit of new followers, as it appears that only one person ever saw it. 🙂
I was lucky as a teenager. I missed the spots and acne that plagued so many of my contemporaries. Can’t say why, it just didn’t happen. They were all busting spots frantically, or being scarred for life along their necks and backs, and I just had a nice tan, and hay fever instead.
A life spent in a city, with traffic, smog, pollution, and fumes. Working all sorts of shifts, eating and sleeping erratically, stressed out like an over-tuned violin string. You would think that all of this would have played havoc with my skin. Smoking heavily, drinking lots of wine, and almost never enjoying fresh air and relaxation; surely the breeding ground for spots and associated blemishes? Apparently not.
Give up work and move to the countryside. Enjoy the freshest air you have ever known. Walk the fields and forests, stress free, and unworried by work and time commitments…

Looking back now, Wilma, I am sure it was stress related. It is no longer a problem, fortunately.
Best wishes, Pete.

For me it is the opposite: I had a lot of acne, and even went so far as to get medicines from the doctor to help me reduce it. That said, I still have the occasional zits pop up. As I’m now 44, one has to wonder what will happen at a later age🤔🤔😅

Having that big beard might help keep it at bay, Michel. 🙂

I’m 55 yet still have an occasional, usually painful spot pop up despite a rigorous skin care regime and drinking eight glasses of water a day. It’s quite frustrating.😡

This was 8 years ago, and fortunately seems to have stopped now. But at the time, it was very annoying.
Best wishes, Pete.
