Q. Why am I breaking out and fighting off wrinkles at the same time?
A. Oh the dreaded double whammy!! It is more common to experience this issue than you may think, even if you didn't experience breakouts as a teenager. In a very similar way, the same hormonal factors that influence teen acne, can trigger breakouts as an adult do to hormonal changes. As an adult the way we approach treating these breakouts may be different, and for good reasons.
Many products geared to treating acne can be very drying. Maturing skin requires adequate moisture to fight changes in texture and wrinkling, and treating it with drying, stripping chemicals will only produce more oil.
Some exceptional ingredients to look for are tea tree oil, white willow bark, tamanu oil, and apple cider vinegar.
Topical treatments are only one part of the equation, however. They are a strong part, but lifestyle and dietary changes are also important. Proper supplementation is also a helpful piece in working on the internal environment, where changes need to begin.
