Adult Acne? The Culprit and The Cure.
After successfully making it through puberty, it can be frustrating to have angry white heads pop up and hostile spots surprise you in your adult years. Whilst breakouts occur for a variety of reasons, adult acne differs from the pimples of your adolescence. Blemish scars got you beat? Blackheads reoccurring? To help you crack that clear complexion we’ve narrowed down both the possible culprit and cure for your adult acne anxiety.
The 411: What is Acne?
Acne is the full on manifestation of comedones (whiteheads and blackheads) and can contribute to low self-esteem. In short, hair follicles (pores) get clogged with dirt, dead skin cells or oil from the over production of sebum. The blockage caused inside the pore then becomes inflamed; resulting in spots.
The Culprit - Top reasons why Adult Acne is affecting you.
Hormone Levels are a major culprit when it comes to acne woes. An influx of testosterone or change in hormone levels can cause spots to emerge. Think periods, pregnancy or contraception, all of which result in a change of hormonal levels. Also consider what you eat. Good skin starts within! Diet can play a vital role in the production of acne. Make no mistake that while your favourite chocolate or cheese is not the root of the problem, they do trigger the sebum glands to produce more fluid than your skin actually needs.
We’ve all done it; in a frenzy to fix our skin before a night out we’ve rushed and stocked up on what was advertised as a ‘miracle product’. But piling on lotions and potions without knowing what the product contains or how it will affect your skin is not the answer. The wrong products, both skincare and make up can exacerbate an already inflamed skin. Proper cleansing and a dedicated regime can make a world of difference. Worsening of the skin may result in you becoming more concerned and stressed with your appearance; even though stress does not actively cause acne it does however aggravate any existing breakouts.
