Zits, pimples, spots - whatever you call it, adult acne can be a frustrating and embarrassing problem to have. Painful adult acne can affect anyone, although some people may never outgrow their teenage spotty years.
Teenage acne and adult acne are different, so the latter requires a different approach to treatment. 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.
What is the origin of this acne?
An acne occurs when sebum, the skin's natural moisturizing lubricant, is trapped in a hair follicle under dead skin cells and debris. Typically, sebum rises to the surface where it is able to condition the skin. Sebum trapped in the pore is the perfect place for bacteria to flourish. This causes whiteheads and blackheads, inflammation, cyst, and pustules. If these go untreated, they can burst, creating large stretched pores, scarring 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. Skin is the largest organ of elimination, so any toxins that aren't eliminated properly through the bowel can cause congestion and oxidation in the skin.
Specify your needs and implement a supplement plan according to your nutritional deficiencies. Nutrient rich, high fiber foods, fruits and vegetables, and essential fatty acids should be part of 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.
You can work toward achieving an acne free complexion by addressing the internal causes of acne.
