Skincare and haircare goals simplified.

1. Identify the root cause
• Hormonal imbalance (especially around jawline or during periods)
• Stress, lack of sleep, or diet triggers
• Incorrect skincare or heavy makeup products
➡️ Consult a dermatologist to assess underlying factors before starting treatment.

⸻

🧴 2. Follow a gentle, consistent skincare routine
• Cleanser: Use a mild foaming or salicylic acid-based face wash twice daily.
• Moisturizer: Choose non-comedogenic, lightweight gel or lotion formulas.
• Sunscreen: Daily use of oil-free SPF 50 — even indoors.

⸻

💊 3. Target acne with active ingredients
• Salicylic Acid (BHA): Clears pores & reduces blackheads.
• Niacinamide: Calms inflammation & controls oil.
• Benzoyl Peroxide: Kills acne-causing bacteria.
• Retinoids (Adapalene / Tretinoin): Regulates cell turnover & prevents new breakouts.
➡️ Start slowly with one active ingredient to avoid irritation.

💢 Adult Acne Is Real

🩺 Causes:
• Hormonal fluctuations (periods, PCOS, stress)
• High sugar or dairy intake
• Wrong skincare or heavy makeup
• Stress & lack of sleep
• Pollution, sweat, and tight masks
• Genetics or underlying health issues

✨ Adult acne isn’t just about oily skin — it’s your body talking. Listen, treat, and heal with care.

🔍 Types of Adult Acne
1. Whiteheads & Blackheads:
Clogged pores — either closed (whiteheads) or open (blackheads).
2. Papules & Pustules:
Red, inflamed bumps; pustules have visible pus at the tip.
3. Nodules & Cysts:
Deep, painful, under-the-skin acne caused by hormonal imbalance or inflammation — often leave scars.

🩺 Adult acne can be a mix of all these — knowing your type helps your dermatologist choose the right treatment!

💢 What Really Causes Adult Acne
1. Hormones: Fluctuations during periods, PCOS, or stress boost oil production.
2. Stress: Raises cortisol → more breakouts.
3. Diet: Dairy, sugar, and whey protein can trigger acne.
4. Wrong skincare: Heavy, comedogenic products clog pores.
5. Pollution & sweat: Trap dirt and oil → maskne.
6. Medical causes: PCOS, thyroid, or certain meds.
7. Genetics: Family history increases risk.

🩺 Adult acne isn’t just about pimples — it’s about balance, hormones, and care.
