Causes & solutions for adult acne

Apple Queen Beauty

We know that your teenage years can be difficult in terms of acne as you're going through hormonal changes.


However, some people may struggle with adult acne in their 30s and 40s too.


Causes of acne

Acne is a chronic inflammatory skin disease caused by hormonal imbalances, genetic factors, and build-up of sebum.


The over-secretion of sebum can lead to enlarged and congested pores, dead skin cells, and infections — which can all lead to acne.


Adult acne VS adolescent acne

Adult acne often appears on the lower half of the face at the U zone (cheeks, jawline, and chin) while teenage acne often appears on the T zone (forehead and nose).


Why it's important to treat acne

If left untreated, acne could cause further infections, scarring, or even prevent the skin cells from regenerating normally, which can lead to bumps and skin texture.


Finding the right skincare routine is important, but it may not be effective to only treat the skin topically. Oftentimes, you need to extract the gunk to thoroughly cleanse the skin.


It may be tempting to squeeze and pick your pimples, but improper squeezing causes more harm than good as it can lead to infection, inflammation, and scarring.


Professional extractions are recommended to maintain cleanliness and professional technique.


Finding the right facial therapist

Although adult acne, or acne in general, is a very common skin problem, an experienced beauty therapist can provide you with effective treatments.
