Causes and Facts of Adult AcneI remember standing in front of the bathroom mirror one night, performing my usual anti aging skin care ritual. Cleanser, toner, serums, moisturizer the typical routine. While brushing my teeth, I suddenly felt an ever so slight stinging sensation at one corner of my mouth. Nothing very unpleasant. I ignored it at the time.
What a rude awakening the next morning! The pinpoint stinging had grown into a nickel sized ache. Stumbling into the bathroom, I turned on the light and stared into the mirror at one of the biggest, ugliest, white headed monstrosities I had ever seen. A mega zit. Hold on a hot minute. I was already experiencing the first mood swings and “private summers” of menopause. Never in my wildest dreams, had I ever thought to regress to the awful 14 year old day when my first serious acne breakout threatened to ruin my school picture.
Quick squeeze it, said my impulse. My hands rose to my face, and I stopped myself just in time. I surely didn’t need any more marks of time’s passage. Only teenagers get pimples, right? Well, no acne flare ups can continue to plague us into adulthood and even into middle age. A majority of adult acne sufferers are female. As if we don’t have anything else to obsess about! Not a mere trial of coming of age, acne breakouts can keep even the hardiest souls behind closed doors, whether they’re 15 or 50. If you “face up” to the problem you recognize that acne isn’t attractive or welcome on anyone and there are many solutions and treatments out there. Just jump online or consult a physician. Isn’t it interesting that those zits can appear at those two most vulnerable times of a woman’s life on the threshold of puberty, and at the gate of menopause? Arm yourself with knowledge it’s everywhere. Jump off the hormonal roller coaster long enough to treat the problem wisely. You can stay ahead of it and move blemish free through the prime of your life. Articles on Adult Acne: |
