Adult Acne - Finding the Absolute Best Cure

By Sarah Touchstone


Adult acne isn't something that any adult wants to have to deal with; after all, weren't zits and pimples bad enough when you were young? Even so the problem can be very common but the treatments are different when you use them on the acne you fight as an adult. Try out some of the following remedies when you suffer from adult acne.

When your acne is moderate to severe, washing your face a lot won't cure it. Yet it's still something that can help with your overall treatment program for acne. There are some who believe that the best way to clear up acne is to really scrub their faces but all this does is cause more irritation. The best thing to do is wash your face twice each day using water that isn't too hot and a soft, not rough, cloth. Over the counter cleansers can be helpful but only if they aren't full of harsh chemicals because those chemicals can actually make your acne worse if your skin is sensitive. You want your skin to be clean but you also want to be as gentle with it as you can.

When you are a woman who suffers from adult acne, you have no doubt been told that birth control pills can provide good treatment. This can be a good treatment but it comes with side effects so make sure that you discuss this option with your doctor before you give it a try. Birth control pills reduce how much sebum (oily substance that contributes to acne) your skin will produce so that means that pimples have a harder time forming.

Even so, research shows that taking birth control pills (whether you're doing so to prevent pregnancy or to fight acne) can have lost of adverse side effects like headaches, nausea, depression and even an increased risk of developing heart disease. For this reason alone, you will almost always be better off choosing natural (and safer) methods such as Hydroxatone of fighting your adult acne.

Facial masks can be an effective way to treat adult acne. There are lots of books and websites that contain recipes for facial masks. Some of the very best facial masks contain only a few quick ingredients that you most likely already have at home. Oatmeal, for example, isn't just good for breakfast; when you mix it with water it makes for a great acne fighter of a facial mask.

You can easily make a facial mask by combining baking soda, water and then wearing it on your face for twenty minutes or so. Applying egg whites or egg yolks can be a great way to clear up some acne. Everyone's skin is a little bit different so you'll need to experiment with facial masks until you find the one that works the best for you. Adult acne can be a very distressing problem, but you should be reassured that there are effective remedies that can cure you of it. Try some of the suggestions that we've explored in this article because they have helped quite a lot of people clear up the acne they've been fighting. You'll need to make a few changes in your diet and test out different things until you find the best product for your acne but the good news is that you won't have to live with acne for the rest of your life.
