In today's episode we're revisiting acne, particularly adult acne. Acne affects up to 85% of teenagers but can occur in adults in their 20s, 30s, and beyond. Adult acne (medically referred to as Acne tarda) is more common in women than in men, and can be categorized as either persistent acne or late-onset acne. Persistent adult acne is acne that continues or relapses from adolescence to adulthood, while late-onset acne is acne that develops at age 25 or older with no prior history of acne. Adult acne is more associated with inflammation, changes in pigmentation, and scarring compared to acne that occurs in adolescence. The foods we eat, our lifestyle choices, and what we put onto our skin can all have an effect on our skin. These external factors can contribute to clear skin or the development of acne.

Join us in today's episode as we talk about adult acne and why it occurs, factors that contribute to adult acne, plus lifestyle changes and skincare actives that can help promote clear, glowing skin by targeting the underlying causes of acne.
