Wasn’t acne supposed to be an adolescent issue that went away once you hit your twenties? Unfortunately it’s not. Especially if you suffer from hormonal acne which affects many women between the ages of 20 and 40. You most likely have hormonal acne if you have red, inflammatory pimples that leave unsightly scars and refuse to go away. You don’t have to live with hormonal acne as with a little TLC and a few tweaks, you can get rid of it.
Retinoids
Retinol-containing products should be used in your skincare routine. These creams include vitamin A and help to keep skin cells from sticking together. This indicates that these items help to prevent blackheads and clogging of pores. Retinoids, on the other hand, should only be used at night, when sunlight isn’t able to degrade them.
Mild cleansing
Keep grime, oil, and makeup off your face by using a gentle cleanser twice a day. Using a pimple-targeting face cleanser can help.
Handle with care
Apply a topical therapy to decrease inflammation and destroy bacteria after a thorough scrubbing. These gentle topical treatments heal acne faster and leave no scars. Consult your dermatologist, who will recommend the most appropriate treatment for your skin type.
Make dietary changes
Remove dairy from your diet, especially skimmed dairy, which is thought to contain more acne-causing hormones. Replace cow’s milk with almond milk and boost with probiotics. Foods having a high glycemic index, such as pasta, rice, and white bread, should also be avoided.
