It’s the end of the line for adult breakout!
What causes adult acne breakouts?
In a word, stress. Now more than ever, adults are balancing an increasingly time-compressed lifestyle, which can lead to chronically-high levels of stress. This throws adrenal glands – key stress managers into overdrive, boosting sebum (oil) production and setting the stage for acne development.
To make it worse, the skin’s cell-turnover rate slows down with age, causing flaky skin and excessive dryness and post acne marks. As a result, this can trigger even more stress and breakouts.
There are four main factors that contribute to adult acne breakouts
- Overproduction of sebum (oil)
Excess oil to spill on the skin’s surface, acts as a binder that holds on to the dead and shedding skin cells - Accumulation of dead skin cells
too many dead skin cells combined with excess oil – clogs the hair follicle - Bacteria
clogged hair follicles are the best breeding ground for Propionibacterium Acnes bacteria - Inflammation
rapid bacteria growth can lead to inflammation and swelling/redness – resulting in adult acne
