There is nothing more aggravating than to think that your acne problems are over after your teenage years only to have it come back to haunt you in your adult life. Acne is not limited to teenagers. Adult acne is just as big of a problem but it is just as treatable. Not only is this condition aggravating but it is also embarrassing and damaging to your self confidence. It is important to understand why adult acne happens so that you can take action against it and take control of your life back.

There are many things that cause acne in adults. Stress is one major contributor to acne problems as an adult. When adults experience stress, the body releases more hormones than normal. This is one of the most prominent reasons for acne occurring in adults. When adults have a significant increase of stress in their lives, generally eating habits change as well. Healthy eating is a major contributor in the body’s natural healing process. The stress increase with a decrease in healthy eating results in acne flare-ups with a longer healing process.

Acne in adult women is most generally caused by a hormonal imbalance. Whether it is before the menstrual cycle or during menopause, hormone changes trigger different reactions in the body. Among these changes is the stimulation of the oil making glands. This stimulation coupled with the dirt on the face clogging pores and promoting bacteria growth makes acne almost imminent.

How fast dead skin cells are shed is also another major contributor in acne. Dead skin cells that are not shed can block pores trapping oils under the skin and allowing bacteria growth. When this happens, the body’s immune system attacks the bacteria. In doing that the body creates pus filled pockets that can lead to permanent disfigurement if aggravated. For this reason, it is extremely important in the prevention of acne to keep the dead skin cells off of the surface of the skin. This will help prevent pore blockage and keep bacteria growth to a minimum.

Adult acne is not curable but it is treatable. Preventative measures are the most important part of any acne treatment. Keeping skin clean, but moisturized and keeping pores unblocked is essential when it comes to preventing outbreaks. Knowledge is growing about this condition so it is also important to keep yourself informed on new treatments and preventative measures.
