Adult Breakouts

I am in my early thirties, why do I still have acne breakouts and what can I do?

There are several cases to your break outs, stress, bad cosmetics or skin care products, hormones and birth control pills. Stress causes your oil glands to overcompensate. Bad cosmetics or skin care products may lead to bacteria-laden pores. Hormones cause the sebaceous glands to overact and birth control pills with androgen in them can cause breakouts.

To keep breakouts under control look for products that are oil-free, and make-up that is noncomeginc free of lanolin and mineral oil. Be sure to double cleanse your face before going to bed to properly remove make-up. Look for a Cleanser with Benzoyl Peroxide (to reduce bacteria) or salicylic acid (to unclog and exfoliate pores). I recommend Jan Marini Skin research Bioglycolic Cleanser. Follow with an exfoliate that contains a salicylic acid treatment which will clean out your pores and remove excess debris.

I do recommend you treat your skin to some help with a good facial. Your skin will benefit from the cleansing, exfoliating, extractions and products used in the professional treatment room.

Look for products that contain Sulfur, zinc, and camphor for effective results.
