Over 30 & Still Have Acne? Here’s How to Get It Under Control

acne

In a perfect world, there would be a one-size-fits-all regimen for controlling acne.  But because everyone has unique skin types, lifestyles, and genetics, what may work for one doesn’t always work for the other.

Acne not only affects teenagers, but it also affects adults well into their forties. Acne is typically genetic and if one of your parents had it growing up, the chances of you having it are higher.

According to the American Academy of Dermatology, acne is the most common skin condition in the United States, affecting up to 50 million Americans annually. Acne not only affects how your skin looks, but many of us don’t talk about how it also plays a major role in self-esteem and confidence.

Think about this for a minute. If you woke up every morning with zits all over your face and your parents constantly told you you’d eventually grow out of it, meanwhile people at school are staring and calling you pizza face, how would that make you feel? One wouldn’t want to live with this as a teen or an adult.

There are several lifestyle changes a person can make to treat their acne and keep it under control, starting with your diet.

One item to eliminate from your diet is dairy. Dairy causes inflammation and mucus in the body. Cow’s milk contains hormones that react with testosterone in your body, causing an increase in oil production, which can clog the pores and worsen your acne.

Sugar is another food item to eliminate from your diet. From acne to wrinkles, sugar is bad for your skin. It’s a refined carbohydrate (white bread, white rice, pastries, soda) that spikes insulin levels that lead to inflammation, causing premature aging in the skin.
