And if you find that you are fighting the same acne-battle as an adult, you are not alone. Acne is the most common skin disease in the U.S., affecting approximately 17 million Americans. A growing number of women in their 40\u2019s and 50\u2019s are battling acne. It\u2019s true that acne, at any age, can be frustrating.<\/p>\n<p><em>Here\u2019s why letting acne runs its course may not be the best advice:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Many effective treatments are available.<\/li>\n<li>Without treatment, dark spots and scars can appear on your skin as acne clears.<\/li>\n<li>Treating acne can boosts your confidence and self-esteem.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are steps you can take to turn your skin around at any age, but first, here are three things that may cause adult breakouts:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Changes in your hormone levels during menopause or when stopping birth control pills<\/li>\n<li>Prescription medications<\/li>\n<li>Stress<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>What helps?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Clean your skin every day, morning and night, using a gentle, facial cleanser to wash away pollution, grime and makeup.<\/li>\n<li>Use cool or warm water, never hot.<\/li>\n<li>Use your hands, a baby washcloth or a soft cleansing brush.<\/li>\n<li>Pat your skin dry; don\u2019t rub. Resist the temptation to squeeze your pimples.<\/li>\n<li>Use a retinoid cream or lotion after your face is clean. They can help clear your skin and, as a side benefit, they reduce fine lines and wrinkles.<\/li>\n<li>Choose cosmetics that are <em>non-comedogenic<\/em> &#8211; which means they won\u2019t clog your pores, or <em>non-acnegenic <\/em>&#8211; which means they don\u2019t cause breakouts.<\/li>\n<li>Some prescription medications like birth control pills as well as Accutane, antibiotics and prescription retinoids can help control acne.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We offer microdermabrasion, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delainemd.com\/facial-peels\/\">chemical peels<\/a>, and laser treatments which can be partnered with topical and prescription acne treatments.
