ACNE AND ITS SOLUTION

 

Is Adult Acne holding you back?

Why do we get acne as adults and what can we do to get rid of it?

It's frustrating when you don’t know what’s causing the acne !!! 

What causes adult acne?

1. Hormonal fluctuations – period, pregnancy, menopause and the pills. 

2.  An increase of androgens like testosterone. 

3. Overproduction of sebum can cause oily skin, clogged pores and acne. 

4. Stress and lifestyle factors can worsen acne. 

What is the difference between adult and teenage acne?

1. Adult acne is often caused by the body’s inability to get rid of excess hormones. It tends to be harder to treat and is more prone to cystic acne. It often pops up in the chin and neck area.

2. Teenagers' acne is often caused by an increase in hormones during puberty that creates an overproduction of oil. Teenagers often have predominantly blackheads and whiteheads.

What are the different kinds of acne?

1.Whitehead – Whiteheads are created when a clump of keratin and sebum gets stuck in a pore and creates a little bump under the skin.

2. Blackhead – Blackheads are those little black dots that can often be seen on or around the nose. They are the same as whiteheads, except that the pore is open, so the content is exposed to air, oxidises and becomes black.

3. Inflammed blemishes – created when clogged pores get inflamed and start inflaming the area around it. They present either as painful red bumps under the skin, or large with visible pus.

What can we do?

First of all, make sure that you are using the right skin care for your skin. Every skin type is different and even dry skin types can experience excess oil and breakouts.

1. Do not over-cleanse as this may cause the skin to produce even more oil.

2. Occasionally exfoliate your skin - this can help prevent clogged pores

3. Look for ingredients that have soothing properties – like Cica.
