Adult Acne (Rosacea) Problems Solved

Unfortunately teenagers are not the only people to suffer from acne. Acne affects nearly 25% of men and almost half of women over the age of 21. Unlike the teenage acne, adult acne is not generally caused by hormones alone. Hormones combined with bad hygiene are the leading causes of teenage acne. But as adults the hormones become a very low priority for acne sufferers.

Adults tend to develop acne in their 20's, 30's, 40's, and even beyond. It can be difficult to deal with acne as an adult because most people assume you do not clean yourself well enough or often enough. Especially if you are single and looking for that special someone, adult acne can be a real turn off for that person that just caught your eye.

The good news is that adult acne is quite common and tends to respond better to over the counter treatments than teenage acne does. Much of the adult acne initiates from hormone changes, especially with women, but with a good moisturizer and daily cleanser even these hormone changes don't stand a chance at starting acne. With most adults if you can keep the acne from starting when you know your hormones are about to swing, you can keep the acne from appearing at all. However, this is not always the case. Many adults suffer acne from a skin condition. This could be psoriasis, Rosacea, or eczema. These can only be treated by a physician so visit yours if over the counter treatments are not working for you.

Although there are many acne treatments the best treatment for adults is the same treatment that teenagers, Benzoyl Peroxide, combined with moisturizer. Using Benzoyl Peroxide on a regular basis, along with daily cleansing and moisturizing, will avoid future breakouts that can leave you embarrassed. A good spot cream will attack any acne that does get past the cleaners and help keep your skin flawless.
