Acne Treatment
Whatever you want to call them, adult acne can be a frustrating and embarrassing problem to have. Some people may never outgrow their teenage spotty years but some don't even need to go through that phase before being inflicted by painful adult acne.
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?
Acne happens when the skin's natural moisturizing lubricant (sebum) 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 will result in inflammation, cyst, pustules, whiteheads and blackheads. These can erupt, creating stretched large pores, unsightly scars and even post-inflammatory pigmentation, if left untreated.
To 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 to achieve a new equilibrium for the skin to maintain its own healthy, breakout-free appearance without harsh chemicals and irritants.
Treating acne will be easier if you follow these 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. If the bowel does not properly eliminate toxins, this can cause congestion and oxidation in the skin (it is the largest organ of elimination).
Look for nutritional deficiencies and implement a supplement plan specific to your needs. Your daily diet should include lots of nutrient rich, high fiber foods, fruit and vegetables, and essential fatty acids. 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.
Healthy skin needs a balanced, anti-inflammatory diet complete with foods that are rich in nutrients. 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.
Addressing the root causes of acne will help you achieve an acne free complexion.
