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. Adult acne is usually on the lower half of the face while teen acne is typically on the upper face. Adult acne appears as a cyst, it is deeper and can not be drained.
So where does this acne come from?
Acne happens when the skin's natural moisturizing lubricant (sebum) 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. These can erupt, creating stretched large pores, unsightly scars and even post-inflammatory pigmentation, if left untreated.
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.
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. Any toxins that aren't eliminated properly through the bowel can cause congestion and oxidation in the skin, as it is the largest organ of elimination.
Find nutritional deficiencies and develop a plan for supplements that is tailored to your needs. Your daily diet should include lots of nutrient rich, high fiber foods, fruit and vegetables, and essential fatty acids. Antioxidant nutrients specific for skin health include supplements like Vitamin A, C, E complex. They support collagen production, help repair skin and balance hormones, increase elasticity and hydration, balance oxidation in the skin, and reduce inflammation.
A balanced, anti-inflammatory diet that is rich in nutrient dense foods is essential for skin health. This supports a normal hormone profile, maintains healthy insulin levels, restores the acid/alkaline balance, and improves digestion and elimination. Plant based foods, lean protein, essential fatty acids, and fiber rich complex carbohydrates make up the basic diet for acne.
Addressing the root causes of acne will help you achieve an acne free complexion.
