Tips for Treating Adult Acne

One common misconception about acne is that it’s only a problem for teens or young adults. However, plenty of adults can attest that acne vulgaris can persist (or originate) past the teen years. Still, most acne products on the market are aimed towards teens and the most common form of acne. These products don’t always accommodate your skin after adolescence, which is why you may not be seeing an improvement with your current acne routine.

For most women, hormonal changes are the culprit of adult acne, but poor diet can also cause breakouts. Try consuming less refined carbs to keep insulin levels in check, therefore preventing inflamed follicles and increased sebum production. High stress levels can spike hormones too, so it’s important to find ways to unwind: hit up a yoga class, or set aside as little as five minutes every morning for some meditation.

It may not seem fair to still be breaking out as you’re about to battle wrinkles, but the good news is that there are products available to help combat acne (in combination with a healthy diet and lifestyle). Dermesse skin care is safe for all skin types and colors, and offers prescription-strength products that when used together, combat a range of skin problems including adult acne.
