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.
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.
From where does this acne appear?
An acne occurs when sebum, the skin's natural moisturizing lubricant, is trapped in a hair follicle under dead skin cells and debris. Sebum usually rises to the surface where it conditions the skin. If sebum clogs the pore and gets trapped, it creates an excellent environment for bacteria to multiply in. 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 achieve a new equilibrium for the skin to maintain its own healthy, breakout-free appearance without harsh chemicals and irritants, and 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.
Here are some recommendations for treating acne:
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).
Find nutritional deficiencies and develop a plan for supplements that is tailored to your needs. Nutrient rich, high fiber foods, fruits and vegetables, and essential fatty acids should be part of your daily diet. 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. You will improve digestion and elimination, restore your acid/alkaline balance, maintain healthier insulin levels, and 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.
By addressing the internal causes of acne, you can work toward achieving an acne free complexion.
