For adults, adult acne outbreaks could not come at a less convenient time.
Adults, exposed to continual bouts of stress, long hours at work and of course work, often find adult acne more than a hassle.
It's trouble hanging around the face.
Fortunately for us, there are some ways that we can avoid having adult acne.
Or for those with adult acne already, there are some steps that we can take to lessen the time required to heal the lesions on your chin, your cheek or your chest (or heaven forbid, your back as well).
Adult acne isn't life threatening.
Actually, you can just choose to ignore it and let it leave on its own accord, whether it be in a month, a year or half a decade.
But for many people, it is not okay, so something definitely has to be done about it.
Some Rules, Some Tips Often, people with adult acne touch the inflamed spots out of habit, as if the touching could somehow make the spots go away or at least make the spots less prominent.
Well actually touching doesn't do that.
What is worse here is that frequent touching actually worsens the adult acne, because chances are, your fingernails are not short and you eventually cause further breaks on the skin.
So one rule of thumb that we should all follow is that we should never ever touch the sore spots.
If you really have to, use the back portion of your own nails so that the edge does not in any way make contact.
Frequent contact with the "cutting edge" of your hands will probably make it worse by increasing chances of further infection and further inflammation.
There just might be a chance too, that your spots would bleed and would scar later on.
Just leave them alone for now.
Now, if you don't have outbreaks or just recovered from one, make it a daily habit to wash your face with any kind of antibacterial wash.
Just make sure that if the cleanser is chemically based through and through, it is FDA approved and it has mild chemicals that you actually can recognize with a mere glance.
If your cleanser has too many acids and has no FDA approval, consider the product suspect.
Just don't use it.
You must wash at least twice a day, because you want to minimize the clogging of your pores.
Use mild soaps, and if you do not wish to use specialized soaps, then don't.
Mild soaps would work just as well.
Makeup isn't all that evil.
Just make sure that the makeup that you would be applying on your spots is mild and that it doesn't have any oils.
Oils can wreak havoc on spots that reside on your chin.
Use the makeup to cover the blemishes and to emphasize clearer spots on your face.
Your self confidence does not have to suffer just because you are currently having a bout with adult acne.

Yes, estrogen can do wonders for the skin.
