Embrace these four tips to conquer adult acne.

Lots of people are unaware of the fact that adult acne exists and they seem to not know how to treat adult acne. People have this misconception that acne only happens during the teenage years and gradually wears off as they age. For most people, this fact may be true but it is important to note that acne does not start during the teenage years only. However, it is important to note that there are a signicant number of adults that experience such conditions. Yes, even me, I get breakouts and pimples here and there.



There are lots of reasons why a person develops adult acne. But, it is important to take note that the majority of the people that suffer from this condition are those who also experienced acne problems during their teens. It is also important to remember that the treatment for this is not the same when you were in your teens since your skin is already different from how it used to be. Because of this, here are some tips on how to treat adult acne.




  1. Buy a reputable over the counter acne treatment product. OTC products could easily treat mild acne breakouts. Nowadays, there are a lot of acne treatments that are available in the market. But, you need to be aware of the product and if it is safe to use or not. Some products were proven ineffective and might have harsh elements that could further damage your skin. If you are afraid to buy certain products, it would be best to consult your dermatologist. This will ensure that the product suits your skin type as well. You may also ask for recommendations from friends and family members who encountered a similar case of acne. Or, you may do your research on the product’s way of how to treat adult acne. Of course, we have some products available in the shop here, such as Sekhmet Spot Remedy.

  2. For serious breakouts and if OTC products do not seem to work, undergo cosmetic procedures in a reputable derma clinic. Cosmetic procedures such as microdermabrasion and laser resurfacing are some of the common procedures to treat adult acne. Keep in mind that these procedures should be done using clean materials so it would be best to visit a reputable clinic or in my case, The Source Experience Spa.

  3. Never squeeze your acne! A lot of adults have this desire to squeeze or prick their zits on their own, which could cause further damage. Never do this, squeezing will only push the infection deep into the skin. Again, book a facial service of consultation and receive extractions if necessary by a licensed professional.

  4. Eat healthy foods. In order to push away toxins that could cause acne, you need to drink a lot of water and eat fruits and vegetables. Keep in mind that well-hydrated skin has better chances to rejuvenate rather than dry skin. Also, try to live a healthy lifestyle by having a well-rested body. Keep in mind that stress is one of the causes of acne as well so it really pays if you get your eight-hours worth of sleep per day.




Speaking of stress, I think that is what has me a little out of whack. My skin is breaking out, and I love learning and teaching opportunities where I can let you all in on real-time healing.



There are other tips that could help to treat adult acne, but these are some of the basic things that you need to know!
