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 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 lubricant that naturally moisturizers our skin and hair is trapped under dead skin cells and debris in a hair follicle. 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 will result in inflammation, cyst, pustules, whiteheads and blackheads. 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:
Check for food intolerances first; inflammation and toxicity in the system can result from excess burden on the digestive tract or immune system, worsening acne. 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. This helps to maintain healthy insulin levels, restore acid/alkaline balance, improve digestion and elimination, support a normal hormone profile. The basic diet for acne is grounded in plant based foods, lean protein, essential fatty acids, and fiber rich complex carbohydrates.
You can work toward achieving an acne free complexion by addressing the internal causes of acne.
