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 is usually on the lower half of the face while teen acne is typically on the upper face. Adult acne comes up under the skin, which can't be drained; it is deeper and appears as a cyst.
So where does this acne come from?
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. If sebum clogs the pore and gets trapped, it creates an excellent environment for bacteria to multiply in. Inflammation, cyst, pustules, whiteheads and blackheads are the result. These can erupt, creating stretched large pores, unsightly scars and even post-inflammatory pigmentation, if left untreated.
To achieve a new equilibrium for the skin to maintain its own healthy, breakout-free appearance without harsh chemicals and irritants, and treat adult acne effectively, we have to look at addressing the internal causes of acne and have a long term approach using appropriate skin treatments and skin care.
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. If the bowel does not properly eliminate toxins, this can cause congestion and oxidation in the skin (it is the largest organ of elimination).
Specify your needs and implement a supplement plan according to your nutritional deficiencies. Your daily diet should include lots of nutrient rich, high fiber foods, fruit and vegetables, and essential fatty acids. Antioxidant nutrients specific for skin health include supplements like Vitamin A, C, E complex. They support collagen production, help repair skin and balance hormones, increase elasticity and hydration, balance oxidation in the skin, and reduce inflammation.
Healthy skin needs a balanced, anti-inflammatory diet complete with foods that are rich in nutrients. You will improve digestion and elimination, restore your acid/alkaline balance, maintain healthier insulin levels, and support a normal hormone profile. A diet to address acne is based around plant based foods, lean protein, essential fatty acids, and fiber rich complex carbohydrates.
Addressing the root causes of acne will help you achieve an acne free complexion.
