The Curse of Adult Acne

It has been revealed in a recent report that stress might be one of the reasons for acne in women. A new study is of the view that successful women might be hit with acne due to stress and tensions they experience in their workplace and so on. It was revealed by dermatologists from the Nantes University Hospital. They were of the view that this is a common thing in women in their twenties. Even after having crossed the age where pimples can be a regular, some women might just not seem to get rid of them. In some cases women might have pimples in their twenties, even if they didn’t suffer with tem, in their teens. The reason for this acne might be the releasing of male hormones, which gives rise to oil production under the skin, and gives rise to acne.
Dermatologists are of the view that there was a difference in adult acne and the one in teens. It was reported recently that the ‘T-zone’ of the face is prone to acne, and might seem to produce acne from deep inside the skin. Women’s skin is about 3 times more prone to getting affected by acne, than men. This is because their skin is more sensitive. "It's time to re-evaluate who we think gets acne. It's not recognized enough how much it affects the lives of adult women. For many, it kicks in later when they have to juggle families and careers at the same time”, revealed Susannah Baron, from the Kent and Canterbury Hospital. Women also seem to suffer the onset of acne before and after their period. Another theory suggests that those women, who smoke, might be more prone to acne, because of the presence of nicotine that might give rise to oil sebum.
