Acne! Now at this age? It’s not fair! You finally got over those awkward adolescent years and thought you were done with the breakouts – only to find you now suffer from wrinkles and adult acne. Well, you’re not alone.
Over 50% adult women suffer from acne and over 25% of all males experience adult male acne. And, to make matters worse, up to 1/3 of those adults also experience body acne. So, it’s easy to see why there are so many adult acne home remedies and adult acne treatments on the market.
Research from the International Journal of Cosmetic Science shows that is there a rise in adult acne and the acne symptoms lasts longer which means the required treatment for adult acne lasts well into the late adulthood – mid forties.
Understandably, this is very distressful and embarrassing for us middle aged adults who now have to deal with acne AND wrinkles too! If you’re an adult and suffering from acne, you must make sure your acne treatment won’t aggravate or dry out aging skin that is starting to show signs of lines, wrinkles, and age spots.
What Causes Adult Acne?
While we’re not completely sure of the reasons why some adults suffer from acne and others don’t, there is some speculation that it’s connected to the hormone androgen which is present in both men and women.
When hormones become unbalanced and there is excess androgen, the glands produce too much oil and this causes bacteria to grow – leading to pimples and breakouts. Many women have found that birth control is an effective hormonal acne treatment because it lowers the hormone androgen.
Other possible adult acne causes include:
– Diet
- Stress
- Hereditary/congested toxic liver
Best Treatment for Adult Acne
There are thousands of products that claim to be “adult acne cures”, but in my experience of evaluating adult acne treatments there really isn’t a “Cure”. However, there is a simple and natural Herbal Adult Acne treatment that makes sense, heals the skin, is very gentle, and treats the symptoms from the inside as well as the outside. Which is probably why it’s more effective than just your typical acne product.
I have found that when adult acne suffers use a combination of a gentle skin wash and topical gel which contains a mild 2% salicylic acid (which is great for wrinkles too!!) along with Medowsweet and Spirae Ulmaria extract there were able to help reduce infection, breakouts, redness, and heal the skin.
Combine this with certain specific Chinese herbs like Neem, Chaste Tree, Dandelion, Milk Thistle, Honeysuckle, and more…….. Adult acne sufferers get better and faster results. And they won’t have damage their already aging skin with overly harsh chemicals. Learn more about adult acne treatments and Chinese herbs here.
