Bad skin!

For the past three weeks I have been eating healthily and drinking water. Why have I suddenly got lots of spots? I'm 42 for goodness sake, not 14!

    it could just be a change in hormones as well.

    do you sunbath a lot?
    Some women tend to get age spots over time. See the derm just to make sure it's nothing serious

    I'm betting it's the bad stuff inside coming out with your new healthy lifestyle. Keep doing what you're doing and it will get better!
  • No idea, really.

    I still have terrible skin, even though I eat clean and drink plenty of water.

    I just assume it's 1) Bad genes; 2) Stress; and 3) Hormones (I'm on a progesterone only birth control pill and get my period every other week).
