Acne in adult women

Acne is usually associated with adolescence, but adult women are also affected by this problem. The pace of life, work, stress and pollution expose women’s skin to overexploitation, which may result in excessively oily areas, enlarged pores, pimples and blackheads.

The factors that trigger exacerbations are stress and hormonal changes. This is because the progesterone produced before menstruation stimulates the activity of the sebaceous glands. Moreover, some oral contraceptives or IUDs may also promote acne in adult women [1]. Accepting these imperfections in adulthood can be extremely difficult as they affect both the appearance of the skin and the mental state of women.
