Zits, pimples, spots - whatever you call it, adult acne can be a frustrating and embarrassing problem to have. Some people don't go through a teenage spotty phase before they are affected by painful adult acne.
Adult acne requires a different approach to treatment because it is different from teenage acne. Adult acne usually affects the lower half of the face, whereas teen acne is generally on the upper face. Adult acne is also deeper and appears as a cyst, or under the skin which can't be drained.
From where does this acne appear?
An acne occurs when sebum, the lubricant that naturally moisturizers our skin and hair is trapped under dead skin cells and debris in a hair follicle. Normally, sebum conditions the skin when it rises to the surface. Sebum trapped in the pore is the perfect place for bacteria to flourish. This causes whiteheads and blackheads, inflammation, cyst, and pustules. If left untreated, these can erupt, creating stretched large pores, unsightly scars and even post-inflammatory pigmentation.
To effectively treat adult acne, we must address the internal causes of acne and take a long term approach with appropriate skin treatments and skin care to find a new balance for the skin to keep its own healthy, breakout-free appearance without irritants and harsh chemicals.
Treating acne will be easier if you follow these recommendations:
First, check for food intolerances - any excess burden on the digestive tract, or immune system, can contribute to inflammation and toxicity in the system, worsening acne. Any toxins that aren't eliminated properly through the bowel can cause congestion and oxidation in the skin, as it is the largest organ of elimination.
Look for nutritional deficiencies and implement a supplement plan specific to your needs. Include lots of nutrient rich, high fiber foods, fruit and vegetables, and essential fatty acids into your daily diet. Supplements like Vitamin A, C, and E complex support your system: these nutrients are antioxidants specific for skin health that help repair skin and balance hormones, increase elasticity and hydration, reduce inflammation, balance oxidation in the skin, and support collagen production.
A balanced, anti-inflammatory diet that is rich in nutrient dense foods is essential for skin health. This supports a normal hormone profile, maintains healthy insulin levels, restores the acid/alkaline balance, and improves digestion and elimination. Plant based foods, lean protein, essential fatty acids, and fiber rich complex carbohydrates make up the basic diet for acne.
By addressing the internal causes of acne, you can work toward achieving an acne free complexion.
