One of the more aggravating health problems a generally healthy adult can face is that of persistent adult acne. It can be a contributing factor in things like social anxiety, depression, and a general loss of positive self-image. Fortunately, simple methods exist to aid you in clearing up your face and replacing adult acne with healthy, glowing skin.

1. Choose cosmetics wisely: for many adults, the cause of acne can be cosmetic products that make the skin too oily or otherwise irritate it. To improve your skin and achieve proactive skin care, look for safe cosmetics that are labeled 'comedogenic' (non-acne forming). It is also a good idea to apply makeup lightly so that your skin can "breathe".

2. Watch what you eat: the belief that chocolate and greasy foods can intensify an acne outbreak has a basis in truth, but all foods have the potential to affect each individual's skin differently. People are more apt to experience worse acne when consuming these foods if they have sensitivity to it. To ascertain your food sensitivities, it is highly recommended that you keep a food diary to be able to pinpoint the foods that cause your outbreaks.

If you suffer from adult acne, wash your face at least two to three times a day with a non-comedogenic soap, which is designed to avoid clogging your pores. For adult acne elsewhere on your body, try out a non-comedogenic body wash.

4. Achieve "the perfect moisture" level. You may be surprised to learn that adult acne can also be caused by the skin being either too dry or too oily. This is a result of an imbalance in the acid level of the skin which can result in acne. To be proactive about the situation, use soaps and moisturizers which specifically match your individual skin type.

Another cause of adult acne that you might not have thought about is the environment around you. There are many indoor and outdoor factors that may affect your skin; extreme temperatures resulting from too much heating or air conditioning; air pollution and poor quality air; and allergens in the air. You can try to control your environment to care for your skin. When you can't help being exposed to one of these environmental irritants, cleaning with a gentle cleanser can help protect your face.
