Adult Acne - What Did We Do To Deserve Aging Skin AND Acne?

Adult acne and aging skin feel like curses to those of us that suffered through seemingly endless bouts of visible acne outbreaks from puberty to adulthood.

I’ll bet you were told that you’d grow out of it. It’s also a safe bet that you weren’t told that adult acne even exists or was a real possibility.

Did you feel like every zit on your face was the focal point of every conversation when you were in a group OR even when you were talking one-on-one? You weren’t alone and I’m willing to bet you have tried just about every lotion, potion and gimmick mankind has created and experienced varying degrees of success.

I’m sure you thoroughly enjoyed the rare treats that were called clear skin because you knew they wouldn’t last very long.

Your arrival in adulthood must have brought you extreme joy because of the clear skin you enjoyed. Your joy didn’t last as long as you’d hoped though did it?

I’m betting it was an unhappy surprise when you found out that hormonal fluctuations are the most common cause of adult acne, followed by stress, which in itself actually triggers hormonal imbalances, especially in women. So basically, any way you cut it, adult acne is primarily caused by hormonal shifts and fluctuations, many times caused by stress, but also caused by diet, lifestyle changes, birth control pills, medications, pregnancy, and more.

Many of the acne creams, lotions and potions that helped when you were a teenager are probably making your growing list if skin problems lengthen even further.

Good hygiene is your first step in helping reduce the amount of stuff on your skin that can help clog pores. Eating a balanced diet that includes enough protein, little or no refined sugar products (which cause hormones to spike up and down rapidly), and plenty of skin-nourishing fruits and vegetables is an absolute must for clear, healthy skin.

You are what you eat especially when it comes to your skin.

Actively participate in aerobic activities such as walking to help reduce stress. Meditation, yoga or tai-chi are other activities that you can engage in for stress reduction.

There are new and advanced acne treatments really offer you what no prescription antibiotic can in that they are completely safe, contain all natural botanicals that purify the skin from the inside out and, in many cases, can clear your skin permanently with very little follow up treatment if you take them as prescribed and for a long enough period to have lasting effects.

You’ve done nothing to deserve adult acne and aging skin except live and not pay as much attention to your health, exercise and skin care as you should have but those can be fixed.
