Acne, it's not just for teens

  Is acne a prevalent pang of adolescence, or a life-long skin health challenge? Turns out it can be both.

While acne is associated with teenage years filled with raging hormones and the struggle for social acceptance, many adults are finding themselves caught in the middle of an acne epidemic. Skin care professionals and dermatologists alike are also reporting adult acne is on the rise.

Clinical studies indicate between 40 and 55 percent of the adult population in the 20 to 40 age group has been diagnosed with low grade, persistent acne and oily skin, with the primary catalyst identified as chronic stress.

Balancing personal and professional responsibilities makes this generation of adults the most time-compressed generation in history, which contributes to chronic stress: the constant, continued and heightened level of stress that throws our adrenal glands into overdrive, which in turn can boost sebum production, setting the stage for acne development.


Once there’s a boost in sebum production, the cascade of events leading to breakouts begins: oil spills onto skin’s surface and acts as a binder, creating a mixture of oil and cells that blocks oxygen from entering the pores. The lack of oxygen creates the ultimate breeding ground for bacteria, which leads to the swelling, redness, and inflammation around the follicle, resulting in acne.

Adult cases of acne are often more persistent and more inflammatory than teenage cases. Adult acne is also often accompanied by skin sensitization, or a combination of skin conditions, which makes treatment more challenging. To successfully treat, clear and prevent acne, the cascade of events leading to acne development must be controlled; but don’t turn to popular teen-centric treatments that may be too harsh and irritating.

Myths and Facts About Acne

The Facts Behind Common Acne Myths You might think an embarrassing acne breakout is just part of life and that it has to run its course. Fact is, acne is almost always treatable. It helps to know more than what acne looks like. You need to understand what causes it and how to prevent breakouts. Let’s start by separating acne facts from fiction. Myth: Acne Means You Don't Wash Your Face Enough You do not have acne because your skin is dirty or you don’t wash enough. The culprit behind acne is an oily substance known as sebum. Your skin naturally produces sebum to keep it from getting too dry. Acne develops when too much sebum is produced or its chemical makeup changes. Your genes, changes in hormone levels, and certain medicines are among the factors that can affect sebum production.  Fact: Greasy Foods Do Not Cause Acne Many people believe eating chocolate, pizza, or greasy fries triggers acne breakouts . Really, there’s no scientific evidence to support this claim. There are many

6 Reasons Why Body Scrubs are Essential in Your Skincare Routine

Image
Few things can describe the satisfaction of scrubbing things. Whether it’s a burnt pan or tile grout, scrubbing and washing away to reveal shiny-as-new surfaces is an unrivaled delight. And the same goes for skin too! We’re familiar with the term exfoliation, used mostly in conjunction with facial skin. Our skin is our largest organ, and it’s also constantly working. Skin cells are being constantly turned over, and regeneration happens all the time. However, as we age, the process starts slowing down, which is why we start noticing dry and rough skin or fine lines in our thirties.  We know the answer to this – using a face scrub. However, the skin of our body is not immune to the passage of time! Body skin covers a much larger area but often gets very little attention compared to facial skin. Leaving dead skin cells on the surface of the skin can make skin dull and rough. It can also block pores and glands at the base of hair roots, causing ingrown hairs.  While the skin generally take
