When you graduate from a student and go out into society, your lifestyle tends to be disturbed because you are busy with work, housework, and childcare. Even if you overdo it a little while you are young, if you sleep overnight, your body will recover as if nothing had happened the next day.
However, as I get older, my fatigue increases like a snowball, and when I think I’m feeling better, I’m exhausted again in a few days.
It’s a disgusting reality, but it’s not just fatigue that repeats.
Adult acne also pierces your lifestyle!
Unlike acne in adolescence, even if you think that it has healed, it will be formed in the same part repeatedly, and once it is done, it will be difficult to heal and it will easily become acne scars.
This time, we will introduce effective countermeasures from the causes of adult acne that can be said to be hateful. Please refer to it.
What is the difference between adolescent acne and adult acne?
In conclusion, adult acne is caused by lifestyle disorders .
Once your lifestyle is disturbed, adult acne will attack you as many times as you like unless you adjust your lifestyle.
This is the decisive difference from adolescent acne.
Adolescent acne is caused by increased sebum secretion during the growing season, when the pores are small and sebum is easily clogged. However, it is characterized by the fact that it naturally decreases when the growth period has subsided and the secretion of sebum subsides.
The evidence is that adolescent acne and adult acne are more likely to occur in different places.
- Adolescent acne: A place where sebum is actively secreted, such as the forehead and nose
- Adult acne: dry areas such as cheeks, chin, and nape of the neck
If the cause is different, the place where it occurs is different, so it is not effective if you take measures with the same feeling as adolescent acne.
Lifestyle disturbances that cause adult acne
It seems like a detour, but the royal road is to gradually adjust the disordered lifestyle. Don’t get drunk with the “feeling of working hard” with your tricks, but choose a fruitful action that is grounded.
Specifically, let’s look back on the following points once and check if there are any problems.
- Are you living an irregular life?
- Are you lacking sleep?
- Is your eating habits disturbed?
- Are you tired?
- Are you accumulating stress?
- Is your skin dry?
- Are you refraining from smoking?
- Are you neglecting UV protection?
There are only items that make me think, “No, isn’t it rare for people to be in order?”, But that’s not a good reason to leave them alone.
Let’s weigh the end that was left unattended and the future that can be obtained by gradually reviewing habits.
Please be assured that I will introduce the secret to habituation for those who say, “I’m sorry, I’ve tried to review my habits many times. Right.
What are the types of adult acne?
Don’t think of “adult acne” as simply adult acne. If you don’t know what kind of acne you have, you can’t deal with it properly.
For details, see “Determining your skin 10 years from now! How to clean skin with acne scars”.
Here, I would like to introduce the symptoms that seem to be adult acne at first glance but are not. Please use this as a reference when you are taking measures against adult acne but it does not improve.
Symptoms similar to adult acne 1: Hair folliculitis
Inflammation that occurs in the part that surrounds the hair root at the back of the pore, called the hair follicle. The cause is inflammation caused by bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus that has entered from the wound on the hair follicle. It can be placed anywhere on the body, but it is relatively common on the back of the neck, thighs, and buttocks.
It may occur when you are infected with a bacterium called Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a poorly managed bathing facility.
Symptoms similar to adult acne 2: Okay
Hair folliculitis has progressed and inflammation has spread to the surrounding area. It is characterized by swelling of pus, redness of the skin, and throbbing pain.
Symptoms similar to adult acne 3: Milium
These are grains found around the eyes, under the eyes, and on the eyelids. It is easy to mistake it for white acne because the white grains can be seen through, but the content is not fat but keratinous mass. It is characterized by the fact that it tends to occur when the metabolism of the skin is slowed down, and it may increase with aging.
It takes time to wait for it to heal naturally, and skin care cannot be used, so it is recommended that you consult a dermatologist.
Symptoms similar to adult acne 4: Epidermoid cyst
A disease in which the epidermis becomes like a bag, and sebum and keratin accumulate there, causing the skin to swell. It can grow at an abnormal rate and may produce substances that smell unpleasant when pressed. Moreover, even if left untreated, it does not heal naturally like acne and may discolor. Treatment is basically surgery, so if you think “maybe a cyst?”, Go to a dermatologist immediately.
What are the measures for adult acne?
Unfortunately, there is no magic bullet that can kill adult acne with a single blow.
As a recap, the cause of adult acne is lifestyle disorder. The quick way is to imitate the habits of people who can’t get acne. For details, please refer to the explanation in “How many do you apply? 7 characteristics of people who cannot get acne!”.
However, even if you know that habits are important, you can be sure that it is meaningless unless you know how to improve your habits. There is no dispute that knowledge is valuable only when it is actually used.
Here are some points of habituation that many people are frustrated with. It is very applicable, so please refer to it.
There are four secrets to successful habituation without frustration.
- Focus on one thing for a period of time
- Determine the time and place
- Start with a small habit
- Work on new habits in the morning
I will explain in order.
Focus on one thing for a certain period of time
Many people are too greedy, saying, “I want to wear that too! I want to wear this too!” I understand my feelings, but the reality is that our willpower is limited . If you try many things at once, such as studying, dieting, and cleaning to improve your skills, your willpower will be dispersed. As a result, all of them were half-finished, and in the end they were frustrated without learning.
When you want to get into a new habit, there is only one point breakthrough. It depends on individual differences and the difficulty of new habits, but it will take a couple of months to acquire it, so once you have acquired one, let’s make it a habit in order, such as the next habit.
Determine the time and place
You may have had the experience of studying at the library instead of at home when you were a student. Since the human body is easily affected by the environment of time and place, it is effective to link new habits with time and place.
Start with a small habit
Of course, if you try to develop a habit with high hurdles, your psychological resistance will increase and you will be more likely to be frustrated.
If you want to eat a big steak, you cut it into bite-sized pieces and eat it. The habit is the same.
For example, if you want to make cleaning a habit, you can make it bite-sized, such as “only the entrance,” “only the toilet,” or “only the kitchen.” Then, strangely, it becomes easier to develop big habits.
Work on new habits in the morning
The morning is the most refreshing state of the brain, and the willpower is full. It is a time that can be called the golden time of habituation.
On the contrary, the night is the worst. Many people are frustrated trying to get into the habit of new things at night after work, because their brains are dead. In addition, avoid trying to fall into self-loathing by thinking, “How weak I am …”.
Summary
After all, it’s a superb theory that your lifestyle, or habits, is important.
In other words, adult acne is not such a scary enemy as long as you develop the best habits.
However, even if you take all possible measures, you may get acne.
If you feel that self-care cannot compete, please consider dermatology. The treatment in dermatology is summarized in “The last trump card when acne does not heal no matter what, dermatology”.
