Adult Acne Causes

Most people misunderstand the actual cause of adult or teen acne. First off, the cause of acne comes from toxins and bacteria that build up in the body and are not properly disposed of. Normally the body carries and removes toxins through the blood stream, to various organs.

When this doesn’t happen, the body then attempts to release the toxins through other methods, meaning the pores of your skin. These pores become clogged and the skin bumps and blemishes. That’s just a rough example of how acne occurs.

When one mentions acne, most assume that we are talking about a teenager going through the growth and development stage of life. This does not always hold true. Although acne is usually referred to teens, it can also affect adults. When it comes to adult acne causes, there is no gender discrimination.

Both men and women can be affected, although it’s found more prevalent in adult men. Usually when adult acne is brought up by women, it is mostly a problem around the menstrual cycle. This is due to the hormonal changes that women naturally go through. These changes have a great influence in the adult acne causes in women.

Another reason for adult acne causes is due to poor dieting. Most adults are on the go. Whether that be getting to and from work, handling the kids, or just daily tasks and errands. Most of us have a fast paced lifestyle. As a result, we eat on the go, looking for that quick bite to eat. So what are our options? Usually a quick greasy burger, which cheese of course! Let us not forget about the extra large fry and the ice cold Pepsi (or Coke) to wash it down.

This is what I like to call the pimple plan or acne diet. These greasy foods, although delicious, can be a major contributor to your acne woes. If you’re looking for something sweet, grab an apple or orange. The natural sugars in fruit should be enough to pacify the sweet craving you have.

Instead of a burger, pick up a nice turkey sandwich instead. This meat is full of protein and definitely healthier for your body and will assist in clearing up that acne. Next up is that ice cold soda pop. Completely remove it from the equation! Yes completely. Instead, flush your system clean by drinking ice cold water instead. If you find that you can’t drink plain water, go for the water with a hint of fruit flavor to help.

Stress has also been known to be a major contributor to adult acne causes. This stress can come from anywhere. Our daily jobs or profession is usually the cause. Stress to meet that project deadline, or stress to impress your boss or even coworkers can bring out those unwanted visitors.

So what’s the solution? Find time to take part in activities known to let your body release that stress and tension. Whether that means you spend time playing board games with your family, or even working out on your lunch break can do wonders for your skin. I hope you find these tips to be helpful. Good luck, in your new skin!
