Advice on Adult Acne

Acne is a common skin problem. It may affect your skin at any age. Acne is often termed as a chronic skin condition. One of five women of the 25 to 50 suffers from acne. In adults acne generally affects the peroiral areas around the mouth, chin and jaw. Adult acne usually begins with blackheads and then red pimples also appear. When pimple becomes infected it gets converted to whiteheads. Scrubbing the acne hard makes it worse. The common causes of acne are stress, bad cosmetics, hormones and birth control pills. Stress leads to overcompensation of the oil glands. Bad cosmetics, laden the pores with bacteria. Hormones cause the sebaceous glands to overreact and birth control pills with androgen in them can cause breakouts. To avoid adult acne see to it that you use oil free products. One should not treat the adult acne like the teen one. The products which clear the teen acne have no effect on adult acne. To treat adult acne gently wash your face with a mild cleanser which suits your skin and then exfoliate it with a facial scrub twice a week. There are many products like proactiv solution 3 step system which are very useful in treating adult acne.
