How to Fight and Prevent Adult Acne

June 29, 2009


During your teens acne is formed as a result of the hormonal changes in your body. Unfortunately for some it does not stop till they are way in to their forties. Some of the popular reasons are poor hygiene, oily skin, pregnancy, menopause and medications. It can lead to embarrassment and even hinders career choices.

How to treat adult acne?

You must start of with a routine that helps to clean your skin well. Washing your face regularly with warm water and soap and eliminating oil and pollutants from your body is important. You must also use a mild facial scrub twice a week to give your pores a deep cleansing. This helps to reduce the oily build up on your face. Also this helps to eliminate the dead skin from your face and gives your skin a healthy glow.

You also need to use creams and lotions that contain retinol. Most of the creams that are available over the counter contain retinol and they help to prevent discoloration on the surface of the skin, prevent wrinkles and prevent bacteria from building up on your skin. Also products that contain benzoyl peroxide help teen and adult acne alike. However to get the best results from the benzoyl peroxide one must use the products as per prescription and follow the step by step instructions about the use and application.

If you are suffering form acne breakouts as a result of oily skin then reducing the amount of oil you consume daily will help you out. Start with avoiding oily foods, fast foods and fired foods. Avoid vegetables and foods that are high in starch. Also eating foods that are high in water content and drinking water helps to improve the texture of your skin and prevent acne and aging.

Remember that the rules about acne and pimples have not changed since you were a teenager. Squeezing the pimples when you are an adult will cause about the same type of scars and infection as it did when you were younger. Avoid using creams, lotions and make up that are oil based and opt for water based cosmetics as they are lighter on your skin and they do not clog your pores.
