Adult Acne Skin Care: The Secret to Clearer Skin

Read More About Skin Care

Adult acne skin care is important; companies know this otherwise they wouldn't bring out product after product promoting its ability to clear your skin. But does it? And is there a simpler solution?

For me, not matter what product I tried something always seemed to go wrong. Either the product just didn't work or I had an allergic reaction. Using some of the harsher and more expensive products left my skin feeling burnt, bright red and very itchy and sensitive. It was horrible. I soon realized that adult acne was much more than a skin care routine and subsequently made some lifestyle changes that made me see a real difference.

Saying this though, adult acne skin care CAN be effective but the key is use as little as possible. Below are 3 tips that will do the best by your skin and give you the best results, factoring in how to overcome causes of adult acne.

1. Use a mild cleanser or just water to wash your face.
You don't want to use anything too harsh on your face. If you use something too harsh it will irritate and dry your skin. This will trigger the bacteria on your skin to produce more sebum to undo this. When your sebum canals are blocked you get an accumulation of sebum which also irritates the skin and this increases sebum production even further. It is when they are blocked that the bacteria can cause inflammation. So adding a harsh cleanser to your skin care routine will just exacerbate your acne problems.

2. Don't use moisturizer.
Traditional moisturizers contain chemicals that attract water. This leads you to retain water in your skin and thus causes sebum canals to pinch off (acne). This is exactly what you want to avoid!

3. Use Oil Instead.
To protect your skin from dehydration and flaking use an oil instead of moisturizer. This is much more effective. All you need is a fingertip of oil - this is enough to spread over your entire face. I have had greatest success with walnut oil and recently coconut oil. I prefer coconut oil because it smells lovely. I bought some unprocessed coconut oil from eBay and have had great success with it.

If you want to do the best by your skin then the above is what you should do - not buy harsh chemicals/lotions that are advertised. These always advertise their products as curing your acne when they don't. Be kind to your skin and you will have healthier skin for it. If you want to overcome acne then you need to do much more than skin care - you need to beat the underlying causes.
