Acne In Adult Women
When acne condition appears in teenagers, it is met in both boys and girls, but when it comes to the adult acne, it occurs more in women than in men, especially if they experienced it during their adolescence times.
Women are more prone also because they take and give up birth control pills, because of the pregnancy as well, all these are as a result of the permanent fluctuation of the hormonal level. Experts have determined that adult women experience more often acne nowadays due to the stress they come across in their daily living.
There are however women adults to experience acne for the first time in their lives, acne that appears around their mouth and on the chin which can be very discomforting if we consider the aesthetics of a woman as well as her emotions.
Acne is a skin condition generated by glands that eliminate oil in excess and as such clogging the skin pores. Acne appears in the form of plugged pores – the whiteheads and blackheads, cysts, pimples, nodules emerging on face, upper arms, chest, neck, back, and shoulders.
The most common met form is that in the form whiteheads and blackheads, the last ones resulting as a partially blocked pore enabling some of the caught sebum, dead skin cells and bacteria to emerge slowly at the surface of the skin. These ones last longer in time to be removed than the whiteheads.
Be aware of the fact that the black aspect is not due to the dirt so do not scrub the face in the attempt to remove the dirt. On the other hand, whiteheads are generated by a completely blocked pore that has caught the oil, bacteria and the dead skin cells in order to cause the white head emerging to the surface of the skin.
There is a common belief that certain foods such as chocolate, peanuts, cola,fat foods and shellfish can cause acne, but not proof has been scientifically obtained in this respect.
There are plenty over the counter treatments that work very well for the mild acne, but for a deeper cure one should resort to a doctor prescription on antibiotics that could work very good for a lot of people. As a woman using cosmetics you should be very careful to wash them carefully at bedtime.
Anyway, the best type of cosmetics are the oil free ones, the non-comedogenic and/or the non-acnegenic ones. The ones using lanolin derivatives are considered harmful foe delicate types of skins, so you would better check also for the ingredients.
