Is adult acne a problem for you? It can be frustrating because you think you’re out of the teenage years and your skin should be clearing up but, instead, adult acne pops up.

Here are 3 adult acne culprits that you probably wouldn’t have thought of:

Adult Acne Issue #1 – Talc. Check your powder makeup to see if it contains the mineral talc. If it does, switch to a different formula. Dermatologists say that the tiny crystals that make up talc can clog your pores.

Adult Acne Issue #2 – Lack of Natural Oils. Phytosphingosine is a type of fat that kills acne-causing bacteria, reduces inflammation, and keeps pores clear.

Adult Acne Issue #3 – Dairy. Recent health articles indicate that studies have shown the biggest milk drinkers are more likely to experience breakouts. This is because dairy products (even the organic ones) contain the same hormones that stimulate oil production in humans. Dermatologists also say that eating cheese, yogurt, and ice cream can also trigger acne. Try giving up all dairy for a few months and see if it makes a difference. In the meantime, take a calcium supplement.

If your interest is to clear up adult acne through diet, here’s an excellent book with great testimonials – The Clear Skin Diet.
