It took having a couple of babies to clear up my acne that I had as a teenager. My mother had acne really really bad. I don’t know if its genetic, but it seemed to be passed down to me (and I’ve passed it down to Ethan). But, after I had my older boys, it seemed to clear up. Possibly my age, or the different hormones with the pregnancy might have been the reason. I didn’t actively follow any kind of acne treatment. But over time, my skin cleared up. Now that I am older (way older), I will have flare ups here and there, but nothing like I did when I was a kid. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone!
