“Acne ends with teenage”
Are you also frustrated by hearing this lie? Well, me too. This is the most popular myth about acne. We have all been entertained for a very long time. But my friend, I’m sorry to break it to you. The truth is that acne is fairly typical and will remain in maturity. Although acne is supposed to be an adolescent condition, it can impact people of different ages. Yes, pals, acne is that loyal and unwanted friend to the skin. Anyway, let us understand what causes adult acne:
What causes adult acne?
Let’s dive into what causes adult acne:/
Well, there are many reasons that cause acne in adulthood. We compiled a list of the most common ones. You might be facing one or a few of these problems, causing acne.
Hormones
Hormonal changes can disturb the entire body and skin, and it obviously leads to acne. And do you know the worst part? This is not it. Hormonal changes also lead to pH imbalance, inflammation, or an excess of oil production in the skin.
An adult experiences hormonal changes during
- Pregnancy
- Breastfeeding
- Postpartum periods
- Menstruation.
Stress
You already know stress is not good for your health, right? But for the skin too. Stress causes many biological changes in the body that disturb the skin, hence acne. Come on now, laugh out loud a little.
Clogged pores.
Excess oil can block pores, and a quick turnover of skin cells can cause hair follicles to get clogged. Acne is frequently the end result in both situations.
Medication.
Some medicines have been shown to cause adult acne. Certain medicines, such as anticonvulsants, corticosteroids, barbiturates, lithium, DHEA, androgenic steroids, and pharmaceuticals containing bromides or iodides, can produce genuine acne or acne-like outbreaks.
How do you treat adult acne?
Did you notice one thing that all of these problems occur inside the body? It means you need to solve it from within. The treatments and other remedies will not cure the acne from the roots. So keep track of what goes on, inside your body. There are certain food items to include and certain to avoid because food can only bring the required nutrients to the skin and body.
Food and drinks to enjoy:
