Acne is caused by the hormonal imbalance in both teens and adults. But adult acne is caused by the chronic hormonal imbalance. In adults, this type of hormonal imbalance is a little bit different from that of teens. Mostly women are prone to this type of acne because of sharp hormonal fluctuations during ovulation, pregnancy, pre-menopause and menopause. During pregnancy androgen hormones fluctuate wildly and stimulate the production of oil. Excess of oil production causes the breakout of acne during this period. For some luckier women the existing acne will clear up and can see the glow in their pregnancy.

The first and foremost acne care tip is personal hygiene .You should thoroughly wash your face from forehead to the neck region with a mild cleanser after an outing. You have to use only your fingertips while washing and never use scrubbing pads. To remove left over makeup or excess oil you can apply toner or astringent on a smooth cotton pad and gently wipe with it. You should not use astringent if your face is not oily. In case your skin is dry, you can use alcohol-free toner. Applying oil-free moisturizer after cleaning will suit for both oily and dry skin.

Acne treatments should be taken as early as possible otherwise the severe acne will damage your skin by disfiguring and scarring. You cannot treat acne scars if your acne is active. You should know your acne and choose most effective medication for your skin type. Natural remedies are very effective and safe for adult acne. Tea tree oil which is 100% natural herbal oil can eradicate and prevent the growth of bacteria. It is as effective as benzyl peroxide. You can apply it directly on the affected area. Vitamin A can reduce adult acne. It can be easily available in carrots, yellow and orange fruits and leafy vegetables. So go for natural treatments and have a good glowing skin in your adulthood.
