Oh dear....dealing with the teenage horrors when you are well out of your teens? There is a solution to adult acne and the scarring it leaves...

Stress is the number one cause of acne in adults.

Typically for adult acne, the area of the face that is usually affected is the area along the jaw line and we are often left with red marks after the spot has healed up.

To help get rid of the red marks left behind I would suggest you go and see a qualified Skin Therapist (Beauty Therapist) who may well suggest a course of exfoliating treatments.

The products formulated for teenage acne are generally not suited to an adult skin as they are too drying, but thankfully many skin care companies have created products perfect for the needs of adults experiencing breakouts.

These products can be used in a targeted area so can often be slotted in with your existing skin care products, used directly where you get your breakouts.

Finally if you do think stress is causing your breakouts it would be useful to look at some stress management techniques.
