PIMPLES ARE FOR TEENAGERS; OR SO YOU THOUGHT. YOU’RE AN ADULT NOW, SO WHY ARE YOU EXPERIENCING ACNE?
It’s entirely possible for acne to resurface in your adult years or even affect some people for the very first time in their lives (adult-onset acne). And, many treatments intended for use by teens with acne aren’t effective for adults with acne.
According to the American Academy of Dermatology, women experience adult acne more than men and it’s likely due to one or more reasons:
IMBALANCE OF HORMONES
Hormones related to a woman’s menstrual cycle, pre- and post-pregnancy and pre- and post-menopause can result in acne.
STRESS
Research shows a response between stress and acne flare-ups.
FAMILY HISTORY
Some are just predisposed to acne.
HAIR AND SKIN CARE PRODUCTS
Products used for the hair and skin can contribute to oily skin and clogged pores, resulting in acne.
MEDICATION SIDE EFFECT
Some medications, such as birth control, can cause acne.
UNDIAGNOSED MEDICAL CONDITION
Sometimes, acne is a sign of an underlying medical condition.
