Acne Care From Youth to Adults
Acne is a common skin problem which traditionally manifests as black, white or red pimples on your face, chest, shoulders, or back. Pimples are typically caused by a buildup of dead skin cells and bacteria in the pores of the skin.
Versions of this condition attributed to puberty can usually be expected to get better or improve by the time you’re in your mid-20s. However, some people – particularly women – may experience acne into their 40s.
In addition to puberty, other potential causes might include:
- Hormonal changes due to pregnancy or periods
- Makeup or skin creams that might clog pores
- Certain medicines, especially corticosteroids or anabolic steroids
- Tight clothing that traps sweat
At Face 2 Face Aesthetics and Wellness, we not only work with patients who are experiencing current acne conditions, but also patients who may have had problems earlier in life and may have been moderately scarred or have other skin complications that have remained over time as a result of the condition.
