Acne is the most common of skin diseases affecting 85% of Australian's aged between 15-24 years, with 15% of Australian women aged over 24 years having acne. Adult acne is not the same as acne that affects teengers. Younger skin is oily and less sensitive, whereas adult acne is drier and more fragile. Therefore, it makes sense to have a different routine to combating adult acne.
Acne happens when the oil glands (pores) in the skin become blocked. Oil production starts with the hormones, which cause excess oil production in the pore, and if the oil cannot get out, along with a buildup of dead skin cells in the pore lining, a blockage is formed and eventually a blocked pore. A specific type of bacteria that exists in the pore thrives on the oil and dead skin cells, and as a result causes the skin to become inflamed. This inflammation results in a pimple.
For optimal results when fighting blemishes and acne, the following three steps should be followed:
1. Reduce oil to eliminate the environment that acne-causing bacteria thrive in
2. Exfoliate the skin's surface and within the pore to improve the shape and function of the pore
3. Disinfect the skin to eliminate acne-causing bacteria
Because there isn't one routine that works for everyone, finding the combination that works for you is the goal, and that requires experimentation. Here is a step-by-step guide to fighting acne and the products that have been proven to help.
