Middle Age Women - Acne Be Gone!
For women who have suffered with acne since their teens and they
continue to suffer through adulthood. Middle age women take heart!
Acne be gone! It will be your time to finally ditch the acne. But
in the meantime what causes women to deal with acne for so many
years?
Hormonal imbalances are mostly responsible for acne in adult
women, and God knows us women have a lot of hormone imbalances!
Premenstrual, menses, pregnancy, and child birth all affect our
hormones. We spend half our life on the hormone rollercoaster. And
with that rollercoaster ride comes the dreaded acne.
If that's not enough oestrogen and testosterone imbalances can
easily occur from stress or medication. Something as simple as
having an IUD device or taking Depo Provera, both methods of birth
control, can lead to acne.
When the hormones are out of balance your body produces extra
sebum which is any oily secretion of the skin. This clogs the pores
and causes those dreaded zits.
Some women never have a pimple until they hit their thirties.
Talk about a real shock. This usually occurs when they decide it's
time to go off the pill. Birth control helps balance hormones and
for many it keeps acne at bay. So it may not be that they were ever
immune to acne just that it's been so long they never realized they
would have pimples.
Some vitamins can also cause acne. Vitamin B supplements and
Vitamin E creams are known to cause acne break outs. On the other
hand taking zinc orally has shown positive effects to eliminate
acne in studies.
There are other conditions that are often mistaken for acne.
Conditions such as acne rosacea, keratosis, or perioral dermatitis
are often confused as acne. If you are unsure what you are dealing
with make an appointment to see your dermatologist.
There are three major reasons why adult women suffer from acne:
the pill; antibiotics; and vitamin A.
Long term antibiotic use causes us to develop a yeast infection
which lowers the body's immune system and defences which can result
in acne.
Vitamin A treatments such as Retinol-A are double edge sword.
Initially they can cause outbreaks, but over time they will
effectively remove damaged layers of skin including acne scars, as
well as get the skin to form collagen which give you younger
looking skin.
Interesting by the time women reach their mid 40's they can
almost be guaranteed to become acne free. It's believed that our
female hormones have mellowed some by then, and we aren't on the
hormone rollercoaster anymore. This is a welcome change for many
women!
If you're younger you'll just have to find an acne medicine that
works and wait for your mid 40s to arrive. See there's something
good about being over 40.
The main thing is not to let your acne control your life. There
are plenty of treatment options to try and just persist until you
find the one that works!
