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 appears as a cyst, it is deeper and can not be drained.
What is the origin of this acne?
Acne happens when the skin's natural moisturizing lubricant (sebum) 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. Inflammation, cyst, pustules, whiteheads and blackheads are the result. If these go untreated, they can burst, creating large stretched pores, scarring and even post-inflammatory pigmentation.
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.
To help treat your acne, here are some recommendations:
Any excess burden on the digestive tract or immune system can contribute to inflammation and toxicity in the system, worsening acne, so you should check for food intolerances first. Skin is the largest organ of elimination, so any toxins that aren't eliminated properly through the bowel can cause congestion and oxidation in the skin.
Find nutritional deficiencies and develop a plan for supplements that is tailored to your needs. Nutrient rich, high fiber foods, fruits and vegetables, and essential fatty acids should be part of your daily diet. Support your system with supplements like Vitamin A, C, E complex: these nutrients are antioxidants specific for skin health that help repair skin and balance hormones, increase elasticity and hydration, balance oxidation in the skin, reduce inflammation, and support collagen production.
Healthy skin needs a balanced, anti-inflammatory diet complete with foods that are rich in nutrients. This supports a normal hormone profile, maintains healthy insulin levels, restores the acid/alkaline balance, and improves digestion and elimination. The basic diet for acne is grounded in plant based foods, lean protein, essential fatty acids, and fiber rich complex carbohydrates.
You can work toward achieving an acne free complexion by addressing the internal causes of acne.
