Gone are the days when acne was associated only with teenagers. Know the facts Shana says that one of the fundamental areas of acne treatment is understanding what’s going wrong in your skin. You have overactive androgens (male hormones that stimulate the sebaceous follicle. Shana says now that you understand the triggers and how your skin functions, treatment can begin. Ingredients like microsponges that have the ability to hold up to four times their weight in oil and keep your skin matt for up to eight hours are key. Oil absorbing Kaolin clays, Bentonite clay are also fantastic at absorbing excess oil. If your lesions are inflamed, avoid any granular scrubs. Balance the hormones and stress factors to help with the androgen stimulation and avoid stimulants altogether! These work hand in hand with anti-inflammatories to prevent the inflammatory pathway from starting. Remember that inflammation in a lession will result in scarring if you press/pick it! Ingredients to look out for are oat extract, Zinc Sulphate, Green Tea, Panthenol, Spirea and Menthol. Your confidence takes a dent and you sometimes feel oh so helpless. It’s also been noted that adult acne is more persistent than teen acne and
scarring is more prevalent due to the skin loosing its ability to repair itself
because of aging! Shana says not a day goes by where they don’t deal with an inquiry about problematic or acne skins. She points out that with spring and summer knocking on our door, you’ll find that the area of your skin that has enlarged pores will start to shine somewhat more as the temperatures rise! Choose your products wisely Shana, a long acne sufferer herself, says her skin’s been brought under control by the skin line she uses but she always has to change her routine when summer arrives. That’s because her winter skin moisturizer simply becomes far to rich and she feels feel like she’s dripping with oil all day long! Mankind and stress: triggered by hormones acne can occur at any stage of our lifespan! We all know that acute stress or temporary stress can aggravate a breakout from time to time. But Shana says chronic, continued stress increased hormone levels and this will result in more oil production. Internal factors: The psychological effects of adult acne can contribute to continued flare ups and breakouts. When we’re frustrated by the sight of the flare-ups, it causes additional emotional stress, which will lead to increased oil production and an ever ongoing cycle of breakouts. Medications (discontinuation of the contraceptive pill, diet pills, anti-depressants, epileptic meds) may also play a role. Especially those that contain fragrance and plastics. Beware hair sprays, hair gels and hair waxes as many contain plastics that block the pores and cause breakouts Beware PVP, CVP and copolymer ingredients.
