So many young people sailed through their teenage years with perfectly blemish-free skin, only to enter adulthood with a bad case of adult acne.
Why do adults get acne and how is it treated?
Acne is an inflammatory condition which shows up on the skin the form of blackheads, whiteheads or pustules. With further inflammation, adult acne can cause redness, swelling and leave behind scars.
There are any number of reasons why acne may show up in adults over the age of 25. Some of these reasons include:
If acne persists even after trying to reduce stress, get more sleep, stay hydrated and diligently keep skin clean, a visit to a dermatologist may be in order.
A dermatologist can diagnose the type and severity of your acne and prescribe oral or topical medications to clear it up.
Another option is to book the services of a professional esthetician. An esthetician can help you come up with a skin care plan to deep clean skin, remove underlying sebum (dead skin cells and oil), clear pores and so much more.
A skin care professional not only has the experience and tools to keep your skin clean and hydrated, but your treatment is performed in a hygienic, relaxing environment to melt away any stress-related reasons for an acne flare-up.
Some of the ways an esthetician can help you treat acne and any scarring left behind include:
In addition, an esthetician’s expert eye can troubleshoot problem areas in your skin and offer solutions as to how to treat them.
In addition to hands-on treatment of the skin, you’ll have access to professional, high quality products that are good for your skin.
Your esthetician can also make recommendations on at-home skin care routines that will help keep breakouts and scarring at bay in between treatment visits.
No matter what age acne strikes, it doesn’t have to be a lifelong sentence. With specialized treatment plans, high quality skin care products and professional recommendations, you’ll be back on track to clear, healthy skin in no time.
