Acne is no longer just a problem with teenagers, adults are also being plagued with this skin problem. Acne is shown to affect as many as 25% of the adult population. Women are more often faced with this problem than men. Doctors and other health care providers think that acne may be associated with a hormone imbalance.

What a shame. Just about the time that life starts to come together, the good job, a home of your own and perhaps the man of your dreams, you wake up one morning and have pimples? What kind of cruel joke is that?

Most women who notice these breakouts make an appointment with their family doctor to seek an immediate diagnosis to determine the cause of the breakout. In a lot of cases the results will come back that you have adult acne.

The fact that adults have acne puts to rest the old wives tales and the young men's lies that sex, chocolate or puberty are the cause nor cure this problem. Acne is suppose to be the private hell of teenagers not another cause of stress for grown up women and some men.

A dermatologist will usually prescribe a cleaning regimen to clear the problem. Nine times out of ten, the regimen prescribed will not work for you because it has not worked for thousands of other acne sufferers.

A sudden breakout on the skin may not be acne but can be the results of an allergic reaction to foods or other materials. Seeing a doctor is prudent. His diagnosis can eliminate using products or treatments that do not address your specific problem.

But I have to tell you that after several years watching teenagers with this problem and conducting research, Acne is a problem with the whole body. Acne is the result of the body losing certain nutrients. Now, why it shows up again in adults is because at certain stages of our lives, we put or bodies under tremendous stress.

Acne is problematic for adults who also are balancing several issues in real life. Stress may be the underlying cause for Acne. If stress is the problem the cure would be simply to de-stress the system. Of course, this is easier said than done. Try some relaxation techniques, deep breathing and visualization.

If everything fails to relieve the condition, then you have to resort to a complete analysis of what is happening in your body. Are you drinking enough water to flush out toxins. Are you eating enough fruits and vegetables to keep your body free from "free radicals."

Acne is caused from imbalances and impurities within the body. Acne has to be treated from the inside out. Research clinical trials using known acne over the counter treatment provided little data to suggest that topical treatments have a long term positive result on acne.

Other data: There were deficiencies in zinc, vitamin A, and some essential fatty acids such as linoleic acid. Poor digestion is another underlying physical cause of acne.

But the major result from the study showed that protecting the body from free radicals will help the skin fight infections. Using anti-oxidants to fight inflammation that causes the redness and heals damaged skin naturally is the best course of action to gain long term natural relief from Acne. It just makes sense that if the cause of acne is internal than internal cleansing and supplementation is the answer.

Acne has some serious emotional and social side effects. These side effects include depression and anxiety in social situations. There is no age restriction on developing these acne related symptoms.

There may very well be a natural cure that will work for your acne. Nature has a cure for everything. She included acne in the arsenal.
