Acne - It's not Just for Kids AnymoreYou're an adult and still battling acne. How can that be? Common wisdom says acne appears in your teen years, you treat, it goes away and that's that. Common wisdom is not true. More than half of adults suffer from one form of acne or another during their adult years. It can be frustrating and embarrassing. But, what can you do/ Trudge to the pharmacy and ask for a some teen acne cream? Acne usually occurs when oil and dead skin cells get clogged in a pore and mix with bacteria. Adult acne can be caused by stress, hormones, birth control compounds or bad cosmetics. This is why women are more likely than men to suffer from it. First, take a close look at your make-up. If you suffer from acne outbreaks avoid make-up that is oil based. Certain medical conditions and prescription medications can also cause acne. If you have other symptoms of a hormone imbalance or if your acne began when you started a new medication, consult your physician. Adult acne often manifests itself differently than teenage acne. Adult breakouts are often mild or moderate and do not usually result in scarring. Blackheads and whiteheads are less common. Adult facial acne is usually seen on the chin, lower cheek and below the jaw line rather than all over the face as is common in adolescents. As an adult with acne, you might choose to visit your dermatologist. A dermatologist can diagnose the condition on your face as acne or a very similar appearing skin condition called rosecea. Rosecea often appears with acne and can be caused by some acne medications. However, it is a separate condition and needs to be treated differently. A dermatologist can prescribe an effective topical or oral treatment for both acne and rosecea. If you are confident that your skin condition is adult acne and you don't think a dermatologist visit is necessary, you might want to visit your local drugstore and try some of the available over-the-counter treatments. There are many products available and it is worth doing a little research, either by talking to your friends or searching the internet to find one that is worth trying. No matter which acne treatment you try first, be sure to wash your face twice a day with a quality cleanser that contains salicylic acid. Also, use moisturizer and sunscreen daily for good healthy skin. While adult acne can be embarrassing, it is probably not a serious medical condition, but it may have significant ramifications. Adults who suffer from acne outbreaks may have low self esteem and lack the self confidence to succeed in personal relationships, or in the business world. There are a wealth of products available to treat adult acne, so there is no reason to suffer. Do your research on the internet, then visit your favorite drugstore or dermatologist and get the help you deserve. A free report "Facial Skin Care Secrets" is available by clicking the link below.
