Herbal Remedies For Acne

By Linda Robison

Ok, you're finally out of puberty and well into adulthood. Thought you're done with the breakouts....Oh, no, now what Adult Acne? Now you have wrinkles AND pimples to deal with...it's just not fair! But, you're not alone.

Did you know that up to 50% adult women suffer from acne and over 25% of all males experience adult male acne? And, up to 1/3 of those adults also experience body acne. So, it's easy to see why there are so many adult acne home remedies and adult acne treatments on the market.

Research from the International Journal of Cosmetic Science shows that is there a rise in adult acne and the acne symptoms lasts longer which means the required treatment for adult acne lasts well into the late adulthood - mid forties.

Obviously, this is very distressful for middle aged adults who are not only dealing with acne but wrinkles too! That is why your adult acne treatment needs to be strong but not too aggravate or dry out aging skin that is starting to show signs of lines, wrinkles, and age spots.

Adult Acne Causes

While nobody is really sure of the exact reasons for adult onset acne many researchers are convinced that it has to do with a hormone imbalance...namely androgen. This main hormone is present in both men and women and can cause skin eruptions.

When our hormones become unbalanced and there is excess androgen, the body begins to make a excess oil - causing bacteria to grow which leads to pimples and breakouts. Some women have found that birth control is an effective hormonal acne treatment because it lowers the hormone androgen.

Other possible adult acne causes include:
- Diet
- Stress
- Hereditary/congested toxic liver

Herbal Treatment for Adult Acne

There are hundreds of adult acne products that claim to be "adult acne cures", but in my experience of evaluating acne medicine reviews and adult acne medication, there really isn't a Cure. But there is a simple and natural 3 step Adult Acne treatment that makes sense, is gentle, and heals the acne not just topically, but from the inside too. Which is why I suspect it's more effective than just your typical skin drying product.

I realized that when acne suffers use a combination gentle wash and topical treatment which contains a mild 2% salicylic acid (which is great for wrinkles too!!) along with Medowsweet and Spirae Ulmaria Extract it helps reduce infection, breakouts, redness, and heals the skin.

Combine this with certain specific Chinese herbs like Neem, Chaste Tree, Dandelion, Milk Thistle, Honeysuckle, and more........ Adult acne sufferers get better and faster results. And they won't have damage their already aging skin with overly harsh chemicals. Learn more about adult acne treatments and Chinese herbs here. - 30292
