March 8, 2024

"Goodbye youth. Why are there still pimples? "After saying goodbye to teenage acne, why do adult acne come?" Life is always full of such helplessness. The more unpopular acne is, the more it is everywhere. It also changes as people age. If you want to completely drive acne out of your life, then quickly understand acne after adolescence!


One, conditions for mature acne

1. Insufficient moisturization

When the skin is severely dehydrated, the skin keratinization is excessive, and the old dead keratin blocks the pores, it will cause acne.

2. Hormonal imbalance

Stress, poor physical condition, hormonal imbalance, etc., can cause abnormal skin metabolism. The old dead keratin cannot naturally shed and accumulates in the skin pores. At the same time, hormonal imbalance reduces the skin's resistance to bacteria, making it more prone to inflammation and other symptoms. At this time, the appearance of acne is usually an external manifestation of the poor functioning of a certain organ in the body.

3. Other reasons

In addition to excessive exercises, lack of sleep, excessive stress, and improper diet that can cause adult acne, excessive ultraviolet radiation, menstrual period, and menopause are also causes of acne. Therefore, in order to avoid the repeated growth of adult acne, it is necessary to internally adjust and externally care for the skin.


Two, many problems after acne matures

1. What is the difference between acne in adolescence and adulthood?

Acne in adolescence generally appears on the facial skin centered on the forehead and then spreads to the entire face. It is more severe during the change of seasons. During adolescence, when male hormones increase, sebum secretion is excessive, and dirt, keratin, and other substances block the pores, acne will appear after being infected by bacteria. On the other hand, adult acne usually suddenly appears in any season and often reappears in the same area. It is mostly caused by excessive stress, environmental changes, unhealthy lifestyle habits, and irregular sleep schedules.

2. Why does acne appear in the same place?

Because the skin's self-protection function in that area is particularly weak. When the resistance of the keratin layer is weak, the sebum secretion in the pores will increase, thickening the keratin layer to protect the skin. Excessive sebum will clog the pores and cause acne.

3. Can adult acne be inherited?

Adult acne is usually caused by dry skin caused by air conditioning and excessive exposure to ultraviolet rays. Age and lifestyle habits are secondary factors. It generally does not occur due to a specific physique, and usually does not inherit.

4. Why does acne appear frequently during the menstrual period?

After ovulation and before the menstrual period, the secretion of luteinizing hormone in the body increases, and with poor mood and emotional depression, sebum secretion increases. The body temperature rises and the skin is in an unstable state. The resistance of the keratin weakens, and acne takes the opportunity to appear. In fact, one of the main reasons for the appearance of acne is hormonal imbalance. These factors such as female menstrual period, lack of sleep, and excessive stress can affect the body's secretion and summon acne.
