My skin on my face is really dry, red and spotty. It has been like this since I was a teenager (I'm 24 now) and I thought it was just teenage skin and it would get better but it hasn't. Can anyone suggest a really good cream for spots that I can buy over the counter or anything I can do to improve my skin? I moisturize every night and I excercise quite often. I don't have an excellent diet, could this be the cause? I drink a lot of coffee and I don't eat much in the way of fruit and veg. I'm going to start a new healthy eating plan though so hopefully this might help.
It sounds like Rosacea, is it mostly on the cheeks and across the nose? they call it the butterfly.
If so, hot spicy foods, extremes of temperature (when going out into the cold from a warm room), harsh products, a lot of tea and coffee can all add to the problem.
If this does sound like your problem, read the earlier thread on Rosacea.
