I first began breaking out with acne in high school. Fifteen years later, I still suffer from blackheads and pimples as an adult. What’s the best acne treatment? I’d like to share the simple home acne treatment that cleared up my skin for good with you.
Before I began my skin regimen, I paid a visit to my dermatologist. She explored the causes of my adult acne with me. Adult acne, it turns out, is precipitated by the same hormonal fluctuations that precipitate teen acne. But other factors may play a role, as well. Certain medications, such as anticonvulsants like Dilantin, corticosteroids like Prednisone, and thyroid replacement supplements, are known to trigger hormonal changes that can cause acne.
The best acne treatment is one that’s based on a skin care regimen that emphasizes exfoliation and thorough cleansing twice a day, in the mornings and before sleep. There are many excellent anti-acne products on the market that may be bought without prescription. Their effectiveness varies from person to person. I have fairly oily skin to begin with. An anti-acne product that works well for me may not work well for a person who suffers from chronically dry skin.
Many people are uncomfortable with the chemicals used in even the mildest anti-acne products. For these people, I would suggest a home acne treatment that uses an oatmeal mask, fresh lemon juice and honey. Honey is a natural antiseptic and fights bacteria.
