Adult onset acne happens for exactly the same reason that teenagers get acne; hormones running rampant in our bodies. While the source of these hormonal imbalances has changed, they are still most definitely the cause.

So I hope you realize what this means. It means all those gels and creams will never work because they’ll never address the real cause of your acne. Besides, they’re so full of harsh chemicals that they can actually cause you to have breakouts.

Even switching to homemade acne treatments won’t resolve the problem. I highly recommend homemade alternatives because they can help your skin look better, but they’ll never cure your adult onset acne. So what can you do?

You have a few choices, actually. You could always try zinc and vitamin A pills. These have shown to bring down the amount of breakouts you’re suffering. Unfortunately, these aren’t the best solution because they still don’t address the real problem. On the bright side, there is one solution that has been shown clinically to work for anyone in any given situation.

Want to know the big secret? You have to switch around you’re diet. No I’m not talking about giving up chocolate bars here. I’m talking about cutting out the real foods that are the primary instigators of adult onset acne.

You might be surprised what some of them are. Vegetable oil is a big no-no on the list. That means avoiding fried foods as much as possible. Vegetable oil gets turned into pro-inflammatory hormones when digested in our bodies, leading to breakouts.

Refined carbohydrates are also on the list. Things like white rice, potatoes, white bread, etc are all on this list. These get converted into sugar when we eat them and a bad bacteria called candida feeds on these sugars. Candida, in turn, releases toxins into our bloodstreams and messes up our hormonal balance, again causing more breakouts.

Milk and dairy products are another big one to avoid. Besides not being able to process milk and dairy product, the sheer amount of antibiotics and hormones injected into cows are just unhealthy. Milk and dairy will drive your system haywire and cause even more breakouts.
