    Welcome to my world!
    I usually have few around O and before af, and that was happening before swaying and of course it still happens . I believe it has something to do with hormones.

    Will I ever grow out the puberty lol!

    Testosterone causes oily skin and pimples. I've always had them and they've only just recently started to clear up and I am 40 years old o.O

    Zivic, I remember thinking a few years ago how much it sucked that I was getting wrinkles and gray hair and yet I was STILL getting zits all the time! You should get at least a couple years where you don't have zits but before the old lady crap kicks in!!!

    I have always had oily skin, but the pimples were not too bad until swaying! Obviously we have raised our testosterone! I think I read on another thread that AS used benzoyl peroxide, which I have been slathering on for a while, so I'm not afraid of that being anti-boy sway. I just can't be fat AND broken out!

    Me too! Hoping that it is a result of Testosterone! Lots of pimples. Three at one time!

    So here is some experimental "proof" that we raise our testosterone on this diet....for the rest of May and June, I have gone back to my regular diet of not much red meat and no supps right now, and my skin just cleared up yesterday.

    Yes I used tons of benzoyl peroxide with DS 1 and 2. I used it every day faithfully for years till I figured out it wasn't helping that much and it made my skin really dry too. So by the time I conceived DS 2 I had been using it daily for like 12 years!

    Now that you guys mention it, I think when my skin did finally clear up was when I went on the girl diet for the first time, just like my magical disappearing chin hair which I had had ever since I was 18 years old, the zits went away then and have not come back. I chalked it up to getting older but maybe there was more to it than that.
