Whatever you want to call them, adult acne can be a frustrating and embarrassing problem to have. Some people may never outgrow their teenage spotty years but some don't even need to go through that phase before being inflicted by painful adult acne.
Teenage acne and adult acne are different, so the latter requires a different approach to treatment. Adult acne usually affects the lower half of the face, whereas teen acne is generally on the upper face. Adult acne is also deeper and appears as a cyst, or under the skin which can't be drained.
From where does this acne appear?
An acne occurs when sebum, the lubricant that naturally moisturizers our skin and hair is trapped under dead skin cells and debris in a hair follicle. Normally, sebum conditions the skin when it rises to the surface. If it gets trapped, the sebum clogs the pore, creating an ideal environment for bacteria to grow. Inflammation, cyst, pustules, whiteheads and blackheads are the result. These can erupt, creating stretched large pores, unsightly scars and even post-inflammatory pigmentation, if left untreated.
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).
Specify your needs and implement a supplement plan according to your nutritional deficiencies. Include lots of nutrient rich, high fiber foods, fruit and vegetables, and essential fatty acids into 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. Plant based foods, lean protein, essential fatty acids, and fiber rich complex carbohydrates make up the basic diet for acne.
