The sudden increase in pimples on the face at the age of 40-50 is a sign that something is wrong with the body. Women get pimples on their face at an older age than men. The reason for this is the hormonal changes in women’s body.
During menopause, the levels of estrogen and prostate hormones in women’s body start changing. Due to hormonal changes, acne and blackheads start increasing on their face. This also affects the woman’s weight, skin and hair. Dr. Rinki Kapoor, cosmetic dermatologist at The Aesthetic Clinic, tells us ways to avoid adult acne.
Why does adult acne occur?
When the oil glands of the face become hyperactive, the natural oil sebum on the skin also starts coming out in large quantities. This causes the open pores of the skin to get clogged and acne begins.
Women usually start getting pimples after the age of 40 due to hormonal changes.
Hormones spoil beauty
The process of menopause is not easy for women. It also affects their health and beauty.
Due to hormonal changes, problems like dry skin, wrinkles, fine lines, dark spots, pimples, blackheads, unwanted hair growth on the face, mood swings, hot flashes etc. start.
Pimples are not only on the face
Adult acne does not only occur on the face. It also occurs on many parts of the body, such as the neck, back, shoulders, buttocks, chest, and arms.
To avoid these, take care of body hygiene, do not eat oily things, include fruits and vegetables in the diet and drink 8 to 10 glasses of water daily.
Ways to prevent menopause acne
One of the major reasons for adult acne is stress, so stay away from stress. Drink plenty of water to keep the skin hydrated, do not touch pimples. Wash your face with water 2-3 times a day, do yoga and exercise daily, do not eat fried foods, do not use too much cosmetics on the face.
