If you are struggling with adult acne, you are not alone. Itâ??s important to note the following:
â?¢ Nearly 25% of adults between the ages of 25-40 have an acne recurrence and struggle to cope. Although acne strikes adult women at a greater rate than men, men tend to have more severe and longer lasting breakouts than women; because of higher levels of testosterone that men have.
â?¢ Adult acne is no indication of poor hygiene. The acne is a result of sebum, an oily substance produced by fat glands, which gets trapped in the hair follicle.
â?¢ Adult acne should be treated differently than teenage acne. Adult skin is more fragile and dry and cannot handle the harsh cleansing agents contained in teenage products.
What are the causes of adult acne?

1. Stress: Scientific research indicates that increased acne severity is significantly associated with increased stress levels. Itâ??s important to find ways to cope with stress, to prevent a hormonal imbalance which may lead to outbreaks.
2. Bad cosmetics: Watch out for cleansers, moisturizers, makeup, and hair care products that are not acne-friendly.
