Theres a big myth out there that says acne is something most people leave behind in adolescence, but the reality is, many adults continue to experience breakouts well into their twenties, thirties, and beyond.

Where Does Adult Acne Come From?

Lets get one thing straight right off the bat: the physiological process that creates acne is the same no matter how old you are. Pimples occur when your skins poressmall holes that connect to oil-producing sebaceous glands, which help keep your skin hydratedget clogged with dead skin cells, bacteria, and excess oil. The clogged pore swells up, resulting in pimples.

Why Do Teenagers Get Acne?

Testosterone and progesterone in men and women are among the hormones that most directly affect oil or sebum production. The increase in these hormones during puberty means your sebaceous glands are working overtime, producing excess amounts of oil and leaving your pores even more vulnerable to clogging and pimples.

While its true that sex hormone production stabilizes as we exit puberty, our bodies dont stop changing just because we turned eighteen. We can trigger hormone fluctuations that in turn trigger acne. Here are a few things that affect hormone production in adults

Thats why using pre and probiotic treatments like Dermala is so effective when fighting those pesky pimples.
