Adult acne can be a frustrating and embarrassing problem to have, regardless what you want to call it. Painful adult acne can affect anyone, although some people may never outgrow their teenage spotty years.
Adult acne is different from teenage acne and hence requires a different approach to treatment. Adult acne usually affects the lower half of the face, whereas teen acne is generally on the upper face. Adult acne appears as a cyst, it is deeper and can not be drained.
What is the origin of this acne?
An acne occurs when sebum, the skin's natural moisturizing lubricant, is trapped in a hair follicle under dead skin cells and debris. Typically, sebum rises to the surface where it is able to condition the skin. If it gets trapped, the sebum clogs the pore, creating an ideal environment for bacteria to grow. 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 treat adult acne effectively, we have to look at addressing the internal causes of acne and have a long term approach using appropriate skin treatments and skin care to achieve a new equilibrium for the skin to maintain its own healthy, breakout-free appearance without harsh chemicals and irritants.
Treating acne will be easier if you follow these recommendations:
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. Skin is the largest organ of elimination, so any toxins that aren't eliminated properly through the bowel can cause congestion and oxidation in the skin.
Specify your needs and implement a supplement plan according to your nutritional deficiencies. Include lots of nutrient rich, high fiber foods, fruit and vegetables, and essential fatty acids into your daily diet. Support your system with supplements like Vitamin A, C, E complex: these nutrients are antioxidants specific for skin health that help repair skin and balance hormones, increase elasticity and hydration, balance oxidation in the skin, reduce inflammation, and support collagen production.
Skin health requires a balanced, anti-inflammatory diet rich in nutrient dense foods. This helps to maintain healthy insulin levels, restore acid/alkaline balance, improve digestion and elimination, 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.
