But I’m too old for spots!!’
Adult Onset Acne is…..
a growing problem for adults these days.
What used to be the preserve of teenagers and youths has now started to become an issue for people in their 20’s, 30’s and 40’s. What started as an issue just for women has now spread to becoming an issue for both men and women.
WHY post teenage years does acne show up:
1. Hormones – hormonal surges cause the body to produce excessive sebum which is a natural oil, but being produced at high levels.
2. Diet – Non-organic meats, high-fat dairy products and other foods high in saturated fat can also create acne. With meat and chicken, its important to be aware that cheap cuts of meat are often treated with hormones for a variety of reasons. With dairy you run into the same issues with how cows are treated. When we then eat these animals, it affects our bodies and the chemicals get stuck in the liver.
WHERE does it show up?
Your face, neck, back, shoulders, chest.
SOLUTIONS
1. Check there’s no medical reason first. For example PCOS can cause a severe hormonal imbalance which can bring on acne.
2. Always buy the best meat and dairy you can afford to buy. I know, I know, but its just one of those things you’ve gotta do. Just get on with it.
3. Don’t give up fat. Just give up saturated fats – eg fast food.
4. Be aware you need to cleanse from time to time. Now when I say cleansing what I mean is that you need to give your body a rest. Do I want an argument about whether or not detoxes work? Nope. But do you think your body might benefit from a simple rest from eating and drinking junk and stress? Yes!
You get to choose what form that cleanse takes. For me, I always pick the principle of ‘Purify and Nutrify’ – ie Juice Fasts plus an Infusion.
Decide what yours is and then do it. Prevention is always better than cure.
