Adult acne at the age of 35

Many people think that acne is a problem for adolescents, but in fact, many adults still have acne even after the age of 30 or 40. This condition is called adult acne, which is common, especially in women.

The cause is

1. Hormones

Hormonal changes, or androgen imbalances, which stimulate the production of oils on the skin.

2. Stress and inadequate sleep

Stress causes the body to secrete more of the hormone cortisol, resulting in more active sebaceous glands and inflammation.

3. Skin changes with age

As they age, exfoliation may slow down, causing follicles to clog more easily.

4. Lifestyle factors

High-sugar foods, some kinds of milk. Don't forget that our body is no longer on top form. Inflammation is easier.

What does acne often look like in adulthood?

Most of them occur in the chin, jaw and around the mouth.

Deep acne or large acne

Heals more slowly than teenage acne and leaves marks easily.

Skin care when acne is 30 +

Use non-clog pore (non-comedogenic) products

Maintain skin balance. Don't use too harsh products.

Get enough sleep and manage stress.

See a doctor for a doctor to recommend if it's a lot.

... Read moreเมื่อเข้าสู่วัย 30 ปีขึ้นไป หลายคนอาจประสบปัญหาสิวผู้ใหญ่ที่ไม่ใช่แค่ปัญหาของวัยรุ่นเท่านั้น สิวในวัยนี้จะมีความลึกและขนาดใหญ่กว่า จึงจำเป็นต้องดูแลผิวอย่างระมัดระวังมากขึ้น จากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัว พบว่าการทำทรีทเม้นต์ขจัดเชื้อสิวช่วยลดจำนวนสิวได้ดีมาก แต่สิ่งที่สำคัญคือการปรับไลฟ์สไตล์และการเลือกใช้ผลิตภัณฑ์ดูแลผิวที่เหมาะสม เนื่องจากผิววัยนี้ค่อนข้างบอบบาง การใช้ผลิตภัณฑ์ที่ non-comedogenic จึงช่วยป้องกันการอุดตันของรูขุมขน นอกจากนี้ การกินอาหารที่อุดมด้วย Omega 3 เช่น ปลาทะเล ล้วนช่วยลดการอักเสบของผิวหนังได้จริง ทำให้สิวมีแนวโน้มหายเร็วยิ่งขึ้น อย่าลืมกันแดดเป็นประจำ เพราะแสงแดดสามารถกระตุ้นการอักเสบทำให้สิวรุนแรงขึ้นและทำให้รอยสิวหายช้า การเลือกครีมกันแดดที่เหมาะกับผิวหน้าสิวจึงเป็นเรื่องสำคัญมาก สำหรับใครที่มีปัญหาสิวเรื้อรังและมีรอยสิว ควรปรึกษาแพทย์ผิวหนังเพื่อได้รับการวินิจฉัยและแนะนำการรักษาที่เหมาะสม เพราะบางครั้งอาจต้องใช้ยาหรือทรีทเม้นต์เฉพาะทาง การนอนหลับให้เพียงพอและจัดการความเครียดก็มีบทบาทสำคัญต่อสุขภาพผิว เพราะฮอร์โมนคอร์ติซอลที่เพิ่มขึ้นจากความเครียดทำให้ต่อมไขมันผลิตน้ำมันมากขึ้นและเกิดการอักเสบง่าย สรุปแล้วการดูแลสิวผู้ใหญ่ในวัย 30+ ต้องใช้ความใส่ใจและเข้าใจสาเหตุที่แท้จริงของสิว ปรับเปลี่ยนพฤติกรรมและเลือกผลิตภัณฑ์ที่เหมาะสมเพื่อผลลัพธ์ที่ดีที่สุด
