How to Handle Grown-Up Breakouts In Your ’30s and ’40s

How to Handle Grown-Up Breakouts In Your ’30s and ’40s

As published on Essence.com by Nykia Spradley

Acne is one of the most frustrating parts of adulthood.

There are some things that should be left in our youth, but unfortunately, acne isn’t one of them. Breakouts can develop in your ’30s or ’40s, even with no history of them as a teen…as if adulating isn’t hard enough. We asked Dr. Bruce Katz, Clinical Professor of Dermatology at Mount Sinai Medical Center and founder/director of Juva Skin & Laser Center in New York, for the lowdown on dealing with grown-up breakouts:

Oil Isn’t the Enemy

Katz says that adolescents often have oily skin, while adults’ skin tends to be dry or in combination. So be mindful of ingredients that can dry you out like witch hazel and alcohol. “With adults, we have to use fewer drying products as they may not tolerate the acne meds that adolescents can,” Katz explains.

Moisture is a Must

Skin of color can be more irritated by acne products, which are typically quite drying. If you’re on a prescribed acne regimen, add an oil-free moisturizer to your mix.

Stop Stressing

If your eating habits have changed with age, know that diet is not usually the culprit. “Stress is probably more of a factor in causing flares of acne in adults than in kids, where hormones are more of a factor,” says Katz.

Fix It For Good

Unlike the days of your youth when a three-step system was the holy grail of acne treatments, things have changed. Katz says that topical antibiotics and retinoids are usually the first line of defense again recurring breakouts.

Light The Way

“In our practice, we use the newest cutting-edge treatment for adult acne, which is the Neo Laser by Aerolase. It typically requires several treatments, but there is no downtime,” says Katz. For acne scarring, the newest treatment is the Endymed Intensif micro needling radio frequency device, which helps resurface damaged skin. There’s also no downtime.
