How to get rid of Adult Acne
Around one in three grown women (and some men!) seek help for adult acne. It’s one of those pesky problems that can hit anytime from your 20s, through the decades, right up into menopause and we’re almost certain it’s something you wished you could have left with your teenage years.
Factors such as stress, hormones and diet can all play a part in adult acne, but there are other things you can be including in your daily routine to calm your skin and prevent further breakouts. Treating acne takes time and patience - depending on your cause or severity, skin can improve or worsen depending on that-time-of-the-month or stress levels; however, we have put together a few of our top tips to help you get there.
1. Take a look at your diet
Excessive sugar is known to flare up adult acne and there are some studies that show the consumption of certain dairy products could cause this too. We recommend carefully choosing the foods that go into your daily diet to improve your skin health and avoid inflammation. Fill your plate up with leafy greens and focus on fruits and vegetables that contain vitamin C and beta-carotene which have an anti-inflammatory effect… your skin will love you for it. And always, always drink tonnes of water!
