Adult Acne – Truly Troublesome

Adult Acne – Truly Troublesome

Have you noticed how the acne you suffered in your 15’s comes up when you are 30? This is called Adult Acne and is perfectly normal. In fact, one of five women between 25 and 40 years old suffers from acne. Some of the causes for this type of Acne are:

• Blackheads: Contrary to common belief, these blackheads are not dirt, they are the accumulation of dead cell and grease in the pores and they turn black when are exposed to the air. In addition, they can turn into red pimples if touched if with dirty hands: and it turns into a whitehead of pustule.

• Stress: The stress is a highly important cause of acne, because our life is increasingly faster. The stress can affect also the self-esteem of a subject due to the fact that that person is in constant pressure.

• Bad Cosmetics: This cause is more common in women because they are the ones that use more cosmetics. The use of bad cosmetics can also cause allergies or other skin deceases.

• Birth Control Pills: Because of the fact that this pills produce changes in our hormones (and the acne is produced primarily by changes on the hormones), and that the adult women between the ages of 17 to 36 are the one that more use this pills, obviously they are one of the major causes of adult acne in woman.

It is very important to take under control this type of acne because we are used to see a teenager with acne but not an adult and it can cause several social and personal problems for that person.
