Twenty percent of adult women between the ages of 25 and 40 suffer endure adult acne. Having your teenage acne come back in your 30s is not an uncommon thing. Here a few facts and tips about adult acne and how to get rid of it:

Fact # 1: When oil and dead skin cells get trapped in a pore where they create a plug and mixed with bacteria, they form blackheads. They are not dirt; they only turn black when exposed to air. Acne normally develops from blackheads. Inflamed blackheads develop into red pimples and can be spread when touched with unclean hands. A pustule or whitehead develops when pimple becomes infected. These could break and progress into scars.

How do we get rid of blackheads? When asked the same question by InStyle Magazine, San Francisco dermatologist Seth Matarasso stated, “Gently.” Scrubbing too hard apparently causes inflammation. Throw away your grainy scrubs; use an exfoliant with alpha-hydroxy acids instead. Lancome Pure Focus Deep Pore Refining Scrub is a good choice. Salicylic acid cleansers like Bliss Clog Dissolving Cleansing Milk are also effective and safe. These products are much better than scrubs in cleaning out pores. For a better and faster blackhead removal, Biore Pore Perfect Strips is highly recommended.

Fact # 2: Adult acne can have various causes. Birth control pills, hormones, bad cosmetics and stress can cause this skin problem. Pores can de infested with bacteria due to bad cosmetics. Androgen laden birth control pills can result to breakouts. Oil glands overcompensate due to stress and hormones can lead to an overreaction in the sebaceous glands.

You should find oil-free, non-acnegenic products like Neutrogena Oil-free Cleanser and Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel to prevent breakouts.

Fact # 3: The food you take like cheese and chocolate s do not cause acne. However, a good facial would surely benefit your skin. A good facialist knows exactly what’s good for our skin: Zinc, Sulfur and camphor masks, blackhead extractions, exfoliation and at-home follow up. Undergoing these procedures can dramatically improve the skin’s condition.

Fact # 4: Adult acne is different from teenage acne so treat them differently. Products used on teenage acne won’t work on adult skin. Here are 2 steps for treating and washing blemished skin:

Step 1: Biore Shine Control Cream Cleanser is a good choice in the search for the right cleanser.  Choose medicated cleansers that have benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid.

Step 2: Salicylic acid treatment is excellent for exfoliation because it effectively clean out pores.  You should this about 2 to 3 times a week. Scrubbing too hard and exfoliating too much can be harmful to the skin.

Fact # 5: A lot of people find good results in using Proactiv solution 3-step System. Another product that is highly recommended is Mario Badescu Drying Lotion. But the personal favorite of my friends who have acne is MD Skincare All-Over Blemish solution. These products prove to be effective in providing a clear skin.

Fact #6: For fast results, see a dermatologist. Mild cases of acne can be treated with over the counter medications with salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide which unclog pores and reduce bacteria. But a dermatologist has a full collection of medications and treatment to eliminate acne especially in serious cases.

Some people consider laser treatments for fading acne scars, but these are expensive (about $500-$2,400).  Others resort to insurance-covered treatments such as birth control pills, azelaic acid, antibiotics and retinoids. But the most effective treatment for serious cases is a 5 month course with Accutane. But this should not be taken during pregnancy for it can cause serious birth defects.

Fact # 7: Surprisingly, new machines that target acne really work. The Zero Acne Clearing Device has good reviews from its users. According to Glamour Magazine, it his highly effective for simple pimples but does not work as well in blackheads and deep cystic acne.

These machines really work, but how? An iPod-like machine called The Zeno functions by driving heat to a pimple. Bacteria will be killed and blood circulation will improve through this process. This will result in faster healing.  According to clinical trials, treatment with Zeno can reduce up to 90% of pimples within 24 hours.  You may get some scarring, but can use acne scar removal creams to help minimize the after effects.
