It’s one of the unfair truths of life that pimples don’t necessarily disappear as you age out of high school. Yes, acne often plagues teens, but you may find yourself continuing to deal with adult acne as you enter your 30s.
So, how do you get your adult acne under control? Dr. Bruce Sanderson and his team of skin care experts at Lasercare Skin Clinic of Little Rock, Arkansas, have the expertise you need to manage mature-skin breakouts.
Several factors can cause adult acne. Some may be familiar from your teenage years, but as you get older, you may notice changes in your skin that impact your acne, as well.
Hormonal changes are often a culprit for pimples. When you’re a teenager, hormonal shifts make acne a common hazard. In female adults, hormonal changes related to the monthly menstrual cycle may still play a role in acne breakouts.
The other factors to watch out for when it comes to acne are clogged pores and harmful bacteria on the surface of your skin. A clogged pore can allow bacteria to multiply, leading to the redness and swelling associated with pimples, from whiteheads and blackheads to pustules and nodules.
As you get older, the oiliness of your skin may change, so your skin care routine might also need to change.
If your skin makes a lot of oil, you need cleansing treatments and products to clear away excess oil before it leads to clogged pores. But, removing too much of your skin’s natural oils can cause oil production to accelerate, making the problem worse than ever.
Older people may notice issues with dry skin. Finding the balance between oily, pimple-prone skin and dry skin that shows wrinkles, lines, and other signs of aging is a tricky problem that Dr. Sanderson can help you with.
Combination skin means you deal with oiliness and dryness simultaneously, but we have skin care solutions for you, no matter your skin type.
