See your doctor Moy. You may have an allergy or it could be something else.

Try changing your soap or body wash Moy. Try using a hypoallergenic one. I too have a small number of pimples at the back now (which never happened when in the Philippines). I bought Cetaphil body wash and it kinda stopped getting bad (but pimple scars are just annoying! ). Johnsons body wash is good too. That's what I used in the Philippines and I had no pimples on my back. I have to buy that again in the pound shop when my Cetaphil goes empty coz it's a bit expensive.

The facial cleanser and the body wash are the products I use. Usually recommended by dermatologists (well in the Philippines) since it hypoallergenic and non comedogenic. I usually buy online from ebay because I can't find it in stores here.

You can also try looking at Google Shopping..https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=cetaphil&tbm=shop&source=lnms&sa=X&ei=QjadUb-XKKmO0AWFkoDYDg&ved=0CAwQ_AUoAw&biw=1366&bih=653

What I've noticed on my face now and again I get pimples, while in the Philippines never had it. All I can remember, it started since I use the liquid foundation that I bought from boots...
Now I stop using it completely.. chuck it

[Moy]

i rarely have any acne ever since on my teen years nothing has changed even if i'm here in the UK now in fact my skin is way better than before. i am NOT saying i have perfect skin though: nono-1-1: I have a uneven skintone and oily T-zone

Maybe the reason why you got acne at the back is due to stress i'm no expert but you might be interested to read this http://acne.about.com/od/acnebasics/...acnebasics.htm

I know what you mean. I use RDL astringent (Baby face) and it does get rid of all my pimples! They banned importing astringent in the UK though, so most Filipino stores don't have it anymore. I always ask my hubby to bring me some from Saudi and most of my friends use it too! After application, leave it for a couple of hours then put moisturiser. Beware not to over do it though!

If it's banned it should not be used and especially not smuggled into the country. Period ?

Smuggling if you bring tons and try to resell it and make profits out of it and not for personal use! Lots of people bring their own product/stuff from their country if they can't find it in the UK!
Do you call them all smugglers? There's no such sign from the Customs that it's not allowed to bring it in the country!

Coming from Middle East they check if my hubby has any cigarettes and found those RDL in his luggage but didn't say anything!

Try washing more often, and waxing your back

If it is banned, yes.

Banned is BANNED .... whether it is a soap, food, weapon or drug.

Good morning Nice to meet you, although the greeting maybe too late now

Who or what Aromulus is or was I don't know

I think the point trying to be made is that the product you're talking about is banned in this country, and there's obviously a good reason for it. There are countries in the world where automatic machine guns are legal, but not here. You wouldn't try and smuggle one of those in would you
As you know it's illegal, then ignorance if stopped is not an excuse. Nothing harsh about what was said, and to be honest I'd have said the same if I'd have been on earlier.

Hope you stick around and enjoy the banter and also contribute to those who can benefit from your experiences

Sounds like you're experiencing puberty Moy.

True. I now have extra pimple space on top of my head.

It's what you eat!!..........your body is reacting to the food you choose to eat here.....it's that simply.

If you've gone from a relatively clean diet in The Philippines to a ''normal'' British diet consisting of ''foods'' high in saturated fats and E numbers etc etc...no wonder your body is complaining

This dreadful diet is not compulsory.........The only way to clear your bad skin is to change your eating habits

Try showering more than once a month...that may help
I don't know Moy ...could be the change of life but, I suspect you are far too young for that..I'll ponder more for you
