Whether you are in your teens or you are an adult, there is a constant fear that accompanies you throughout your cream lifespan- the fear of getting acne breakout. This acne comes bundled with the dirty and ugly looking scar marks. In adults, acne breakout is mainly due to hormonal imbalances. The chances of an adult women getting acne is far more than a man. This is just because of the biological differences between their bodies.
Mainly, the adult female body undergoes several changes namely: the changes that occur every month, at the time of pregnancy, and also at an elder age the changes that are associated with menopause. Adult acne treatment differs from person to person as each one of us has a different skin texture, skin layer quality depending on which the oils produced by skin clog the skin pores. Acne in adults can be very well cured if we take some adult acne home treatments.

Simple guidelines to follow at home:

• The thumb rule in adult acne home treatment is that ‘keep your skin clean and dry’. Pay special care for cleanliness and never allow dirt to settle on skin pores as dirt when mixed with skin oil it surely leads to infection.
  
  
• Use Cleansers possibly twice a day or as your skin allows. Make cure that the cleansers you use are mild, gentle and soft on skin. Use of cleansers that are harsh may have adverse effects.
  
  
• Cleansers must not have any granules as they can be rough on skin and may cause pain. Even if the granules are promoted as exfoliants, they are not worthy of being used as an adult acne home treatment. Rather, products such as Aquanil and Cetaohil are much better choice as cleansers.
  
  
• While applying cleansers, avoid the use of washcloth. Prefer to use your hands as they are much gentle and soft on your skin.
  
  
• While cleaning, the water must be warm and not at all hot.
  
  
• Adult acne home treatment also advices to make use of skin moisturizers which replenishes the skin. Some moisturizers contain retinol which cleans the skin pores and also smooths the skin lines.
  
  
• Moisturizers which contain salicylic and glycolic acids help to reduce and lighten the scars so that they are not visible.
  
  
• Creams containing benzoyl peroxide are also good to use when going for adult acne home treatment. Apply those when you have an acne breakout and not always.

Apart from these adult acne home treatments, you can also try medication that suits your skin and body. At times, these medication and pills make your skin dry too, so they must be used only when there is an acne breakout instead of a continuous use.
