The skin is covered with tiny holes called pores. The pores have what are called ‘sebaceous glands,’ which make sebum (oil to moisten your hair and skin). If you’re lucky (unlike us), the glands produce the correct amount of sebum and no acne occurs. If you’re not lucky, the pores get clogged with excess sebum, dead skin cells, and bacteria.
Whitehead – a pore that gets clogged, closes, and bulges out from the skin
Blackhead – a pore that gets clogged and stays open (top surface darkens)
Pimple – a pore with broken walls, leading to a buildup under the skin
Hormones stimulate the sebaceous glands to make sebum. Acne is caused by the glands being overactive. Acne is not caused by the greasy foods you eat, chocolate, soda, or any of those other fun stories we hear about (unless you’re smothering these products into your pores!!)
What I learned:
Do not scrub the affected areas. This can make it worse by irritating the skin.
Use your hands instead of a wash cloth.
If you do find a moisturizer to use (or even with sunscreen), be sure to use oil-free products.
If you have long hair keep it away from the affected areas and wash it regularly (limits the amount of oil).
When you are stressed, your pores may make more sebum, so yes avoid negative stress.
When finished (or during) exercising or excessive sweating (gotta love _ _ _ ), wash the affected areas.
Try not to touch these areas (I also put sanitizer on my hands before messing with the fun of acne, which leads me to my next point – DO NOT PICK, SQUEEZE, or POP your acne.
Two ingredients to look for in products used to destroy this monster: benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid. The first one kills the bacteria that leads to acne and can reduce swelling. The latter causes skin to dry out and peel (which also helps rid you of acne). And again, we come to another point – DO NOT OVERUSE your acne products (follow directions exactly). If you use too much, your skin can become very red and very dry. Always, try a little before putting it all over yourself to check for any potential allergic reactions.
In researching acne, you may want to search for “acne vulgaris.”
Try a dermatologist – they can prescribe stronger medications than what you can get at the store.
Good luck!! Hope I helped a little.|||Yes, as an adult we are able to take ourselves to a good dermatologist and have him/her give us the necessary medicine to cure it.|||yes, avoid dairy %26amp; saturated fats (eg red meat) for a start.

Eugene...|||Assuming you have already tried the over the counter acne preparations, most of which are based on peroxide, you need to see your GP.
There are 2 types of acne which affects adults, the ordinary spotty type= acne vulgaris, and the red faced, swollen nose type= acne rosacea.
Irrespective of age, acne is generally treated with either topical or oral antibiotics. These are all prescription only medicines. Unfortunately they are not a cure, only management, so they are often needed quite long term. They are however very safe for this purpose.|||Not that this will work for everyone, but I use a Clay mask every other night. and I don%26#039;t just put it on and wash it off, I leave it on all night. When I wash it off in the morning, my skin is just as smooth and no oil which my skin in really oily. I have bad adult acne, and this really does work for me.|||No, but I found some of the answers to this question informative, thanx|||For ACNE I would recommend you go see a dermatologist…however if you would rather try something on the market here is my suggestion:
ARBONNE Clear Advantage. This is a 4-step system. It includes an ACNE wash that is deep cleaning to unclog pores and keep outbreaks under control. A toner that contains alpha hydroxyl acids to help balance and calm skin, it removes excess oil and leaves skin soft, smooth and refreshed. A daily acne lotion that is oil free and penetrates deep to sooth and clarify skin. The fourth system is designed to help balance out the hormonal imbalance that is at the root cause of the acne breakouts. It is a dietary supplement that supports the skin from inside out. It is infused with vitamins, minerals, l-lysine- an amino acid.
The product comes with a 45-day money back guarantee.
Your skin needs an adjustment period to any product you try. To see most benefit you will need to give the product time to work. Most of all you should not mix brands. The products in each brand are formulated to work together to give you best results. By mixing brands (i.e.: different moisturizer, different toner….) you can diminish the effectiveness of each product.

Here are a few other good things for your skin:
Diet affects everything in our bodies. It plays a vital role in how you look, feel and of course how you age.
Eating right to keep your skin soft, glowing and strong at any age:
·Orange/red fruits and vegetables: can include tomatoes, squash and carrots- these are packed with beta-carotene, which is an antioxidant that is essential for healthy skin, scalp and mucous membranes.
·Shellfish and fish: try salmon, crab, shrimp and lobster- contain astaxanthin, an extremely potent antioxidant that protects your skin from the damaging environment, helps prevent age spots and wrinkling.
·Nuts and seeds- these are rich in vitamin E which helps protect the skin from sun damage
·Citrus fruits- such as oranges, grapefruits, are high in Vitamin C. It is essential to collagen production, and it is the collagen that gives connective tissue strength and resilience.
·Unrefined whole grain- these could be wheat, barley, oats and rye- all contain silica, a mineral that helps to repair damaged skin, hair and nails. Silica helps to strengthen collagen and elastin.
Anti-Aging Super- Foods:
Top pick for this category include any deeply pigmented fruits and vegetables. This includes tomatoes, spinach, cabbage, broccoli, berries and grapes, garlic, onions, green tea, soybean, cold-water fish and spices such as turmeric, cinnamon and cumin.
All of these are very rich in PHYTOCHEMICALS. These are the molecules that give the food the striking color, taste or smell. Their responsibility is to defend the plants against infection and environmental damage, and in humans they have shown to have anticancer activity. And, just like antioxidants, they help protect the body against harmful free radicals and vascular disease.
These foods also contain omega-3 fatty acids. These fatty acids help lower cholesterol, improve insulin sensitivity, reduce inflammation and facilitate weight loss. Dark leafy greens, cold water fish and soybean are an excellent source of omega 3 fatty acids.
They are also considered “hot” foods – they help the body burn calories in the form of heat, just by eating them.
Three key elements to help your skin look its best:
·Avoid the damaging sun: with 90% of aging caused by environmental damage and sun exposure, ensure that you wear a product that contains a broad-spectrum sun block, and use it every day. Harmful sunrays penetrate clouds…so sun block is needed on cloudy days as well. Arbonne uses the latest in sunscreen technology in their day creams to ensure that you are protected from both the UVB and UVA rays.
·Practice good skin care: Using skin care products incorrectly can cause problems later in life. Learn how to remove make-up, and apply sunscreen to let skin breath. Follow up with exfoliation to encourage skin cell turnover, and finish with a light moisturizer to protect the skin’s water barrier.
·Don’t mix brands: With hundreds of skin care products launched each year, it’s no wonder that many of us try the latest products…however that can lead to skin irritation and the development of sensitive skin. Skin care products need time to work, and as your body becomes accustomed to the formulas …you will see benefit. Each brand develops products to work together for best results. Pick a brand and stick with it.
