What is mature acne?
Many women in their 30’s, 40’s and even 50’s can be faced with the embarrassment of acne, which was once considered to be a condition affecting only teenagers. The very visible signs of acne can be a source of negative self-esteem and heightened self-consciousness. Changing hormonal levels are likely the reason, but you need to consult your doctor to pinpoint the underlying cause. Early intervention and treatment is the key to getting this skin condition under control and prevent scarring. Women with mature acne are advised to use non-comedogenic products, especially moisturizers, since sufficient hydration tends to improve the visible signs of aging and acneic skin. A comprehensive approach to help manage your acne involves good nutrition, adequate sleep, exercise, reducing stress levels, as well as instituting a basic skin care regime of cleansing and moisturizing. Consider using a toner with salicylic acid to remove residual impurities left behind after face-washing and help unclog pores.
