Adult acne can be a frustrating and embarrassing problem to have, regardless what you want to call it. Some people may never outgrow their teenage spotty years but some don't even need to go through that phase before being inflicted by painful adult acne.
Adult acne requires a different approach to treatment because it is different from teenage acne. The lower half of the face is usually where adult acne appears; teen acne is normally on the upper face. Adult acne comes up under the skin, which can't be drained; it is deeper and appears as a cyst.
From where does this acne appear?
An acne occurs when sebum, the skin's natural moisturizing lubricant, is trapped in a hair follicle under dead skin cells and debris. Sebum usually rises to the surface where it conditions the skin. Sebum trapped in the pore is the perfect place for bacteria to flourish. This causes whiteheads and blackheads, inflammation, cyst, and pustules. If left untreated, these can erupt, creating stretched large pores, unsightly scars and even post-inflammatory pigmentation.
To effectively treat adult acne, we must address the internal causes of acne and take a long term approach with appropriate skin treatments and skin care to find a new balance for the skin to keep its own healthy, breakout-free appearance without irritants and harsh chemicals.
Here are some recommendations for treating acne:
Any excess burden on the digestive tract or immune system can contribute to inflammation and toxicity in the system, worsening acne, so you should check for food intolerances first. If the bowel does not properly eliminate toxins, this can cause congestion and oxidation in the skin (it is the largest organ of elimination).
Specify your needs and implement a supplement plan according to your nutritional deficiencies. Your daily diet should include lots of nutrient rich, high fiber foods, fruit and vegetables, and essential fatty acids. Supplements like Vitamin A, C, and E complex support your system: these nutrients are antioxidants specific for skin health that help repair skin and balance hormones, increase elasticity and hydration, reduce inflammation, balance oxidation in the skin, and support collagen production.
Healthy skin needs a balanced, anti-inflammatory diet complete with foods that are rich in nutrients. You will improve digestion and elimination, restore your acid/alkaline balance, maintain healthier insulin levels, and support a normal hormone profile. A diet to address acne is based around plant based foods, lean protein, essential fatty acids, and fiber rich complex carbohydrates.
By addressing the internal causes of acne, you can work toward achieving an acne free complexion.
