Adult acne can be a frustrating and embarrassing problem to have, regardless what you want to call it. Some people don't go through a teenage spotty phase before they are affected by painful adult acne.
Teenage acne and adult acne are different, so the latter requires a different approach to treatment. The lower half of the face is usually where adult acne appears; teen acne is normally on the upper face. Adult acne appears as a cyst, it is deeper and can not be drained.
From where does this acne appear?
Acne happens when the skin's natural moisturizing lubricant (sebum) 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. 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. 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. Nutrient rich, high fiber foods, fruits and vegetables, and essential fatty acids should be part of your daily diet. 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.
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.
Addressing the root causes of acne will help you achieve an acne free complexion.
