An increase in today's pollution, new
medications, and hormone-fed meats (to name only a few) are all
irritants that can result in breakouts. How can you avoid all of these?
You can't. Acne is the most common of all skin disorders. Almost
everyone will have acne, most get mild cases, some moderate and a few
are severe. Teens are not the only ones who get it. Acne has been
diagnosed in young infants as well as in the elderly, but it is most
often seen in teens and young adults with 85-100% of adolescents and up
to 10% of young adults getting it. As a matter of fact, acne is
affecting more than 60 million people in the United
States. Over 80% of the population is affected during
their teen years.
It's never too late to
start taking care of your skin. If you're young and having
problems with zits and other blemishes, now is the perfect time to
start a skin care regimen. If you're in your 40s and beyond, the
care you give to your skin now will benefit you invaluably for the rest
of your life.
