adidas court attitude rose , and with those changes we wonder, What's happening to my skin? As adults, we believe we shouldn't be experiencing the torments of acne as we did as a teenager, or we notice brown spots that suddenly appear out of nowhere. We also worry about those days gone by when we used baby oil as tanning lotion. Here are the most common questions adults are asking their dermatologists. Acne Why am I experiencing acne now that I'm older? Acne usually occurs on the face, neck, back, chest and shoulders. Adult acne is caused by a combination of several factors: hormones leading to excess oil secretion, faulty closing of the hair duct, and infection. Acne develops when a sebaceous gland, which is connected to a pore and contains a fine hair, becomes blocked with sebum, an oily substance made by the sebaceous glands that normally empties onto the skin's surface through the opening of the pore. If a pore becomes clogged and prevents the sebum from reaching the surface of the skin, bacteria that normally lives on the skin begins to grow in the pore. These bacteria produce chemicals and enzymes and attract white blood cells that cause inflammation. When the wall of the clogged pore breaks down sebum, dead skin cells and bacteria seep into the nearby skin, leading to pimples. Here is a list of other situations that may cause a breakout: 1. Women: two to seven days before their menstrual period begins 2. Friction caused by leaning on or rubbing the skin 3. Pressure from bike helmets, backpacks, or tight collars 4. Environmental irritants, such as pollution and high humidity 5. Squeezing or picking at blemishes 6. Hard scrubbing of the skin How can I treat my acne?

Alpha-hydroxy acids (including glycolic acid, lactic acid, and gluconic acid) 3. Benzoyl peroxide 4. Topical antibiotics (gels, lotions, and solutions) 5. Antibiotic pills 6. Birth control (for women) 7. Accutane or Sotret for severe acne (women who choose this treatment must be on some type of birth control) Aside from medications, keep in mind that a healthy lifestyle can also prevent breakouts, such as: getting plenty of sleep, drinking a lot of water, and eating a balanced, healthy diet. Also consider cleaning items in your home that may be contain germs, such as: the phone, dirty towels, pillowcases and sheets Skin Types What type of skin do I have? There are six categories of skin types: 1. Dry 2. Somewhat dry 3. Normal 4. Somewhat oily 5. Oily 6. Combination. Skin type, which is determined by the amount of oil secretion, is hereditary. The different areas in the skin that produce oil and the amounts of oil produced are based on genetics. Some women classify themselves as having sensitive skin. Overexposure to the elements or overuse of products can lead to skin allergies or sensitivities. To avoid this, try to minimize the number of products you use and try to find products designated for sensitive skin whenever possible. Hyperpigmentation What are these brown spots on my skin?

Hyperpigmentation results from too much abnormal melanin (dark brown to black pigment occuring in the hair, skin and iris of the eyes) within the superficial skin cells. The main causes of increased melanin production are acute sunburn and chronic sun exposure. The second most common cause is hormonal change as a result of pregnancy, oral contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy. Another cause of hyperpigmentation is post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation that occurs after a wound or blemish heals. Cleansing How many times a day should I wash my face?
