1. Adult Acne: Causes and Treatment Options Acne does not only affect those who are going through puberty. Sadly, you could be well into your 40’s and still get it. The condition is called adult acne, and it affects a lot of people—even the elderly. Let’s talk about this fairly common skin problem, why it happens, and what types of acne treatment are available. What is adult acne? Adult acne is simply a type of acne that occurs after age 25. Some teens develop acne and never quite recover, with the condition persisting as they become older. Some people suddenly start getting acne later in life even though they’ve never had pimple problems in their younger years. No matter when or how you get adult acne, the key is to find the right treatment for it and prevent or at least minimise its reoccurrence. What causes it? Acne happens when hardened sebum blocks the follicular pores on the face. The plugs become darker with age, resulting in blackheads. When a layer of skin covers the follicular opening, the sebaceous plug becomes a whitehead. Clogging causes enlargement as more sebum and skin become trapped under the follicle. The sebaceous mixture often causes bacterial contamination, and when stretched enough, the follicle wall ruptures and the material goes deeper into the tissues, resulting in a pimple.

2. Even if you cleanse your face daily, you can still get acne because of poor immunity and hormonal issues. The condition can also be triggered by cosmetics, certain types of medication, cosmetics, pressure and friction on the skin, and even the climate. Some bad habits—particularly squeezing and picking existing pimples—can make the problem worse Stress is another reason why you might develop adult acne. You see, stress triggers your body to produce more hair and sebaceous oil. It worsens the problem with dead skin cells blocking the follicle and trapping oil and bacteria in the pores. How to treat adult acne Acne treatment typically involves using a face wash and topical treatments to keep the skin clean, prevent clogged pores, and treat existing pimples. But it shouldn’t stop there. It’s important to address what’s happening inside the body, too.
