Simon asked:


take a look at 7 of them:

1. Acne normally begins between the ages of eleven and thirteen.

This is true in both males and females due to changes in hormone levels. These hormones, called androgens, will enlarge the facial glands. The oil produced by the glands is known as sebum. The hair follicles shed dead cells too quickly and the cells and sebum form a blockage in the gland.

2. Pressure and rubbing from tight garments.

Adult with acne should avoid tight-collared shirts that might irritate the acne further. Adult athletes may notice an outbreak of acne from equipment such as backpacks or athletic helmets.

3. Acne can also be caused by genetics.

Studies have shown that a family history of acne can affect whether you have acne and the severity of it. So if your mother or father had acne as a teen, chances are that it will be a contributory factor to the cause of your acne.

4. Factors linked to women

Women have several factors that men don’t that can be linked to the cause of acne. Women go through several phases of life that cause their hormone levels to change. These changes can cause acne in adult women between two and seven days before their menstrual cycle.

5. Pregnancy and hormones

Pregnant women also experience a fluctuation in hormones.

Those who may have previously had little or no acne may see pimples during their pregnancy and for a time after the birth of the baby until the hormone levels return to normal.

6. Menopause and hormones

Menopause will cause changes in hormone levels for woman and can be a cause of acne. Women also tend to wear heavy makeup when experience an acne outbreak, which only worsens the problem by further clogging pores.

7.Stress.

Especially in adults, stress can be another cause of acne. When you are stressed, the hormone cortisol is produced.

Cortisol will worsen any acne you already have. To prevent stress-related acne, try relaxation and meditation.

Some adults experience acne from picking at blemishes on their skin. You should never pick at or squeeze a pimple, blackhead or any other blemish on your face.

This can only cause more acne and possibly an infection. When cleaning your face, avoid harsh facial cleansers(they cause the creation of more sebum) and scrubbing your face too vigorously.

Acne treatments

The sad part is that most of the acne products are sold over the counter for treatment.

Most over-the-counter acne treatments are topical and come in the form of a cream, soap, lotion or gel.

Acne products normally contain benzoyl peroxide (good for killing the bacteria and possibly reducing oil production), sulfur (helps eliminate blackheads and whiteheads) and/or salicylic acid (cuts down the speed of cell lose).

More severe cases may require prescription acne medicine that is topical or oral.

Oral acne medication can help reduce both the growth of the bacteria and inflammation of glands.

Mister V asked:


Acne is looked at as a teenager’s condition. And truth to be told that is pretty much what we all think when talking about acne. We all had to deal with it while young. Who didn’t? Statistics show that about 85% of young people have a form of acne. In most cases acne problems ease around the age of twenty.

However adults are not completely safe from developing acne. About 8% of adult population has a form of acne. Not as much as the teen acne but equally unpleasant. Most cases of adult acne have one common cause: overactive hormones. This hormonal imbalance translates in excessive oil production by the sebaceous glands.

Sebaceous gland is attached to every hair follicle. They produce sebum, an oily greasy substance with the purpose of keeping the skin moist. When too much sebum is released by these glands we may have a problem. Excess sebum combined with skin’s dead cells can lead to a blocked skin pore which can turn in a form of acne: blackhead, whitehead or more serious forms cysts and nodules.

If sebum excess creates the premises for acne then bacteria, Propionibacterium, which is inoffensive on a healthy skin, becomes responsible for developing acne when the skin is inflamed. In this case you can develop pimples, cysts, nodules. If you ignore them these acne can lead to permanent deep scars.

If the hormonal changes have a saying in adult acne the next logical question is what triggers the hormonal changes? The answer is not simple; many causes can trigger these imbalances: air quality, UV levels, steroids in food, water quality, genetically modified food. Other factors can be skin scratching and rubbing, picking blemishes, everyday stress, drugs, female reproductive cycle.

The good news though is hat treated properly acne can be healed relatively easy. Today there are a few great acne treatment products available in liquid form (facial wash), cream and capsules. Make sure the one you choose is appropriate for your specific condition and only use them in mild cases of acne. For severe acne cases you have to see a dermatologist.

Thoroughly cleansing the skin is the first step in preventing and also in treating acne. Don’t over do it though as you can cause more harms than good. You could spread the acne or cause skin lesions or scars. Do it careful and gently!

The no prescription acne treatments available today include ClearPores, the best acne treatment system on the market, Acnezine – a product working on hormonal imbalances, Vilantae – acne treatment for oily skin acne. Other treatments showing good results have acid salicylic as the active ingredient.

Furthermore, it would be helpful to find a product that has salicylic acid as an active ingredient; an example of this kind of skin products is Healthy Pores Facial Wash. Salicylic acid has been used several ages ago to treat lots of skin problems. This prompted medical experts to include the ingredient to modern skin products. According to a study done by Healthy Pores, a 2% worth of salicylic acid greatly performs in unclogging pores. Thus, regular usage of a product with the said ingredient is guaranteed to have a more glowing and healthier skin since the trapped whiteheads and blackheads are already eliminated.

To avoid any serious consequences is best to treat acne properly in its early stages.
