Adult Acne Treatments
Herbs for Sensitive Adult Skin Breakouts
What makes effective adult acne treatments work? Well, first they need to take into account that you're not a teenager anymore and you need to use products that will prevent irritation and drying.
If you're over the age of fifty and suffer from clogged pores or breakouts, you know how hard it is finding mature acne remedies that won't exaggerate fine lines or wrinkles.
There are hundreds of adult acne treatments on the market today and understandably so -- with baby boomers on the rise, there is a big market for mature skin treatments.
Did you know that up to 50% adult women and over 25% of all males experience skin breakout problems and pimples?
In addition to breakouts on the face, up to 1/3 of all adults also experience adult back and chest acne – which is called body acne. So, it’s easy to see why there are so many home remedy treatments and over-the-counter treatments on the market.
Recent epidemiological studies from the International Journal of Cosmetic Science found that not only is there a rise in adult onset acne, but the acne symptoms lasts longer and the required treatment for adult acne lasts well into the late adulthood – mid forties.
This causes much distress on middle aged adults who are not still dealing with acne but wrinkles too! That is why adult acne treatments need to be strong enough to provide adequate adult can cures and yet not aggravate or dry out aging skin that is starting to show signs of lines, wrinkles, and age spots.
Adult Acne Causes
While the exact reasons for adult onset acne is not known, some possible causes for both men and women can be due to hormone changes as we age. Hormones like androgen is present in both men and women and can lead to a variety of skin problems such as breakouts.
When our hormones are unbalanced, a surplus of oil is created causing bacteria to grow which causes pimples and breakouts. Some women have found that birth control is an effective hormonal acne treatment because it lowers the hormone androgen. Other possible adult acne causes include: - Diet
- Stress
- Hereditary/congested toxic liver
Adult Acne Home Remedies
The problem with finding adult acne home remedies is that some may be way too harsh for delicate mature skin that is starting to show signs of aging and wrinkles.
It's important to use gentle, skin healing products and ingredients that have anti-aging protection too. We found a company that manufactures a unique, herbal, botanical derma cleanse system that comes in several different formulations... one for oily skin, one for dry skin, and one for mature skin.
This very simple derma cleans system involves a 3 step
treatment for adult acne
that cleans, heals, and disinfects the skin on the outside AND heal the skin from the inside where the problem often starts.
Many over the counter treatments for adult acne and prescription acne medication neglect to treat the problem from the source – inside the body. Some people have found that by combining a topical treatment along with herbal supplements they got better results than using one treatment alone.
It's not really clear why this is so, but it could be because certain herbal remedies can help to regulate and cleanse the endocrine system, detoxify the liver -- addressing many of the major cause of mature skin breakouts, pimples, and clogged pores.
While a topical wash and gel treats and eliminates breakouts, red spots, and dries up blemishes quickly. Most people see state that they see some results in a few weeks. See
