3 Causes For Suffering From Adult Acne
While acne is a very common skin disorder that typically impacts teenagers and adolescents in the age between fourteen and twenty years, a lot of us went through this burden during our teenage times. What most of us are not aware of is, that also adult acne occurs more often than we might think. More or less five percent of all grownups are suffering from adult acne. Although it happens mostly in our twenties, it might occur sometimes even in our forties and beyond.
Normally adult women lean more to go through acne problems than adult men, just adult men are more prostrate to acne scars, that are left behind by their acne problems. Unlike a common acne myth wants to teach us, adult acne is not caused by improper hygiene. As a matter of fact, there are numerous causes for adult acne. Three main causes for adult acne are hormones, stress and cosmetics, that are listed below followed by tips on how to cure these acne breakouts:
Hormones
In this age group, hormonal changes are the primary cause for an adult acne breakout. Although experts still can’t explain the reason why our oil glands are more prone to acne breakouts during these hormonal changes, it is a fact that acne mainly happens on these up and down shifts. A simple cure for these changes may be the birth control pill. In more severe examples you might prefer to apply medication with the component retinoid, that helps the pores to unclog.
Stress
Stress is an additional main cause for adult acne. As stress triggers the body to release cortisol which leads to the release of more hormones, it subsequently leads to pimples. The best way to handle this situation is to relax. Just a short vacation or simply one lazy day can do already wonders. If the pimples are not gone after one month of de-stressing, check it with your dermatologist and ask for some treatment.
Cosmetics
Some other cause for acne is using cosmetic products that tend to clog the pores. These clogged pores can lead to pimples that are erupting like crazy. Usually this cause for adult acne is very easy to cure. Just get rid of all these products and just apply basic moisturizer, cleanser and sunblocker. In general, be sure to always purchase products that are non comedogenic.
