Adult Acne, is it Possible to Have Acne As an Adult?
So, you’ve survived the ravages of puberty to become and adult, only to find that now you’re affected by adult acne. Is it possible to have acne as an adult? Most people won’t get acne as an adult to the same extent they will as teenagers, when hormones are in full effect, but a good twenty five percent of men and fifty percent of women will suffer from acne vulgaris, the medical term for common acne.
Acne vulgaris is caused when a hair follicle becomes clogged with oil and skin cells. What happens after that determines the individual effects of acne. If it’s closed, then you get a whitehead. If it burst open beneath the skin, you get a pimple. Regardless of the age at which you get it, acne is a problem. Nope, not an issue. The primary causes of adult acne are hormones and stress. This is why, not surprisingly, why women tend to have more problems with adult acne than men do. While stress is an equal opportunity problem, women have a much more complex hormonal system as an adult than men do.
Aside from hormones, women have an additional factor that can lead to acne as adult: makeup. Makeup applied to the skin and not thoroughly removed each night, and for sensitive skin that might not be enough, can easily clog pores and cause acne. Stress affects both men and women, and is a major cause of adult acne. Stress causes the body to release stress hormones, which have various effects on the body as a whole but are catastrophic to the skin. The hormones cause the pores to contract, the skin to become oilier and the immune system to become weaker, all of which equal more acne.
