If you thought acne would be the last of your worries – since you treated it in high school – you’ve got another thing coming. Adult acne is real and thriving, (unfortunately).
Acne is an inflammatory skin condition that is usually linked to hormonal changed and typically is worst during puberty.
The question at hand is why are you still waking up with massive craters on your face? And how can we treat them?
Hormonal fluctuations will be a continuous thing throughout your life – even after puberty and growth spurts. Now through in a dash of stress, a sprinkle of bacteria, a pinch of contact irritation and you the ideal recipe for adult acne.
Because you start picking at your faces, let’s see what could be causing your acne and what you could do about it.
So, what’s actually causing your adult acne?
See your adult acne as a Netflix reboot of your favourite show – there’s much more to the story than first meets the eye.
- Genetics - if your mum or dad had adult acne, then it is likely that your genetics are causing the breakouts. Thanks mum and dad!
- Hormones - if you have periods, having a flare up could be a sign of your monthly. This is due to the fact that adult acne is usually a result of fluctuations or excess of male/ female hormones. These fluctuations can cause inflammation, excess oil production and pH imbalances. Other triggers for hormonal acne could be pregnancy, polycystic ovary syndrome, menopause and more.
- Irritation due to contact - all year long all we’ve heard is: “don’t touch your face” and “wash your hands” but failure to do so could be the cause of your adult acne.
- Clogged pores - clogged pores are a result of dead skin cells deciding to reside on your face rather than making an exit. Also, the oil on your hands can clog your pores when you touch your face, so don’t touch your face!
- Bacteria - although you’re not touching your face, bacteria can still build up on and under your skin.
- Physical stress - there are a bunch of stressors that are manifesting into adult acne. For example, extreme weather, pollution, lack of sleep, illness and dehydration.
- Emotional stressors - 2020 has been enough of a reason to feel anxious or stressed. Now factor in personal problems and an annoying boss and you’ve got yourself a recipe for acne. Feeling scared, depressed or anxious can cause imbalances in the skin. The stress hormone cortisol can cause excess oil production and lead to breakouts.Bottom of Form
How do you treat adult acne you ask?
Washing your face, cleaning and products active ingredients are the first step you need to take when it comes to treating your adult acne.

Our Millionaire Skin Glow Face Wash is a gentle, creamy and rich daily face wash.

The rich and creamy formulation gently exfoliates to remove dead skin cells, leaving your skin feeling oh, so soft - smoother, brighter too, renewing the surface and restoring a younger looking complexion.
