Zits, pimples, spots - whatever you call it, adult acne can be a frustrating and embarrassing problem to have. Some people don't go through a teenage spotty phase before they are affected by painful adult acne.
Adult acne requires a different approach to treatment because it is different from teenage acne. 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.
From where does this acne appear?
An acne occurs when sebum, the skin's natural moisturizing lubricant, is trapped in a hair follicle under dead skin cells and debris. Sebum usually rises to the surface where it conditions 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.
To help treat your acne, here are some recommendations:
Check for food intolerances first; inflammation and toxicity in the system can result from excess burden on the digestive tract or immune system, worsening acne. Any toxins that aren't eliminated properly through the bowel can cause congestion and oxidation in the skin, as it is the largest organ of elimination.
Find nutritional deficiencies and develop a plan for supplements that is tailored to your needs. Include lots of nutrient rich, high fiber foods, fruit and vegetables, and essential fatty acids into your daily diet. 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.
Skin health requires a balanced, anti-inflammatory diet rich in nutrient dense foods. This helps to maintain healthy insulin levels, restore acid/alkaline balance, improve digestion and elimination, support a normal hormone profile. The basic diet for acne is grounded in plant based foods, lean protein, essential fatty acids, and fiber rich complex carbohydrates.
By addressing the internal causes of acne, you can work toward achieving an acne free complexion.
