I have fallen of the wagon yet again, and for about a month or so have allowed my good food choices go out of the window. I have just looked in the mirror and my face has become very red and bloatchy and general looks unhealthy. does anyone else suffer with red blotches on their face and if so what tips do you use to improve the skin tone please?

    If it is caused by allergies to makeup, food or products you are using try to find out what it is. For sensitive skin Aveeno products and Neutrogena products seem to help me. If rash persists please contact your doctor. Some facial rashes can be a sign of autoimmune illness.

    Sounds like you need to see a doctor. No one can make a diagnosis for you in a forum. Good luck.

    I've gotten it very recently too, about a month and a half ago my mother started noticing it. I also have some very small pimples. During that time I had fallen off the wagon and gained a ton of weight, so I'm hoping that eating healthy again will fix it.

    I also started using Neutrogena.

    I've found that sugar makes my cheeks inflamed with tiny pimples. One time after a binge where I'd eaten ice cream and a half french bread my cheeks got so puffy and hot. That alone made me want to stop eating bad.

    When you say red and blotchy… is it acne or a rash? There's a difference.

    What facial products do you use? Any new ones?

    New shampoo/conditioners?

    New laundry detergent?

    Have you eaten anything you don't normally eat or have never eaten before lately?

    i find the same. since i stopped eating sugar , my skin has improved considerabily, the other major factor is alcohol, so i'm about to embark on a 3 month plan without alcohol to see if this clears it up completly!

    I had a few pieces of chocolate last night and woke up to a facial rash and redness. Did you have chocolate or sugar?
