Adult and Still Suffering From Acne?

Although there are many adults who suffer from what we call “adult acne”, acne is often regarded as a major problem in teenagers. Adults in their twenties and beyond can still experience acne, and the negative effects of stress adds to the strain of having it pop up in their face. However whether you're an adult or a teenager, acne is as much agonizing both physically and emotionally.

There are a lot of causes for acne, but significantly your lifestyle is what matters more. Studies show that mental stress can be a major cause in developing acne for adults. Moreover, women are likely to suffer from it because they are more exposed to stress which they acquire throughout their daily lifestyle. They are also prone to hormonal imbalances, especially at times when they have their monthly menstruation and during pregnancy.

The environment is another factor in developing adult acne. If your surroundings are always dirty/polluted, most likely all the dust will be carried through the wind and eventually land on your face. If left unwashed, these dust and dirt can clog up your pores and infect them making the pores inflamed.

Therefore, just like teen acne, the best that you can avail of is maintaining proper skin care and a healthy personal hygiene (and no, this doesn't mean that you don't wash your face a lot, but sometimes washing your face too much can make your acne problem even worse!). When you wash your face use a mild soap (fragrance/scent free). 
Also you can watch out for your diet. Drink enough water (at least 8 glasses/day) and exclude from your meal some oily foods (olive oil is a better choice for you). Eat more fruits and vegetables.Take enough sleep and rest. It will relax your skin pores and eventually help prevent acne from developing. And the magic word that everyone keeps repeating: exercise.

 Avoid drinking liquor, alcohol-based beverages and smoking. It will just make your face riddled with acne.  

Finally, there are alot of drugs out there that claim to be the best in treating your acne, and if  you're an acne-victim you have probably tried a dozen of them; or have been from one dermatologist to another wasting time, energy, and money. And still you've found yourself "bankrupt" not just money-wise, but also solution-wise. I have been there!And I know that no acne treatment has ever given me the skin that is right for me or maybe they have temporarily, but the acne has come back with a grudge. Believe me if I say there is another and a better way to treat your acne, and all it takes is committing to a system that treats you right.
