Treatments for Adult Acne

There are a number of treatments for adult acne. Although acne is thought by many to be a teenage disease, many adults also suffer from it. It might surprise you to know that up to 25% of adult males and 50% of adult females suffer from acne at some time in their adulthood. The acne can be a recurrence or it can appear for the first time. It can cause social embarrassment and depression. No one knows the exact cause of adult acne but it might be to do with hormones. If you are an adult and you have acne, the best thing to do is go and see your doctor who will be able to examine you and maybe your hormone levels too.

Whiteheads and blackheads are types of acne and might continue until a person reaches the age of 50 or more so it is vital to seek treatment as well as modify existing skincare regimens. To minimize the amount of oil on your skin while cleansing, you can use a microfiber cloth. Female adult acne is common between the ages of 20 and 30 and is often blamed on environmental and stress. Oil-based make up can cause blocked pores which lead to blackheads and women who lie in the sun tend to experience more skin problems that those who do not.

Dehydration and poor blood circulation can exacerbate adult acne so drinking a lot of fluids and taking sufficient exercise is important too.

Women suffer more from adult acne than men. A low dose birth control pill has been proven to work on some women. Ortho Tri-Cyclen is one example of a birth control pill that works on some women to control their hormones and therefore acne. Birth control pills do sometimes have side effects though so you need to keep that in mind before starting a course of them. Being pregnant can either worsen or improve acne because it changes the hormone levels in the body. There are other treatments such as antibiotics and a variety of creams, lotions and gels to try. One good routine is a gentle face wash (do not use harsh soap because it is very drying and causes more oil to be produced) followed by an application of 2.5% benzoyl peroxide. Gently rub in some mild moisturizer after this because benzoyl peroxide can be very drying.

High levels of testosterone can cause acne in athletes who are using performance-enhancing drugs or anabolic steroids. This type of acne can result in bad scarring.

Even though there are many treatments for adult acne, the best thing to do is always visit a doctor rather than try to get rid of it yourself, the reason being the risk of scarring. If it seems very mild, you might get results with an over the counter product but these can take a while to work. Also, because acne can cause social embarrassment and distress, it is best to get rid of it as soon as you can.

Use Mineral Makeup and Check Out the Difference

If you have not yet decided, try it at least once. That is, use mineral make-up for the day and check out the difference. If it is any better than the normal make-up that you have been using, then make the switch. Mineral make-up has become popular, is being recommended by few dermatologists. They are yet to ascertain facts-for example, whether, sleeping in mineral make is not harmful as in case of regular make-up. It is quite ironical that the first of the mineral make-up products were sold via dermatologists only! Reputed companies like Neutrogena, Physicians Formula, and MAC have already launched their products. Despite the market being niche, it is growing in US.

Some of the common minerals that are used include zinc oxide, ultramarine (found in precious stone lapis lazuli) and titanium dioxide. These minerals are found in the earth and are finely ground. Since the products are made from natural minerals, women who have unusual skin type or darker skins cannot use these products. The hallmark of these make up kits is that they are not fragrant, contain no form of preservative or dyes to increase their shelf life. This means that it is not prone to create allergies or skin reactions. This naturally increases the face value of the woman using the products. Mineral make up can be used by people having sensitive skin and also those who have undergone plastic surgery. People who already have skin conditions like acne, pimple, redness, itchiness can safely use mineral make-up or long periods without any side effects.

No make up comes without certain flaws. Natural make-up with minerals tends to crack and the crust can come off. In some older women, the wrinkles also show after a while. But if mineral makeup is advantageous otherwise, ways can be found to circumvent the problem. Since it also comes as loose powder, it is difficult to carry it around. Some companies have found ingenious ways to figure this out. Urban legend has made a small pot with an applicator brush. Colorsciences has a retractable brush to carry the loose powder. Mineral foundation powder is becoming popular with new age women who are not afraid to experiment. Make-up that also has healing properties is quite a winning combination and worth the price tag. AS mineral make up extends the areas of skin care it is an appealing product in recent times.
