There are three main changes you can make that will help you get rid of adult acne, only one of which will really require you to make any drastic lifestyle changes.

Diet

Remember the statement we are what we eat? Well that's not far from the truth.If you are always eating fatty foods, or snacks that are high in sugar then you're hurting more then helping yourself get rid of adult acne.

Cutting these foods from your diet will reduce the natural oil that is on your skin, it also improves your overall health and weight.Do yourself a huge favor starting today and stop eating fast food, processed foods, and junk food snacks.

Quality Face Wash

You need to be using a good face wash daily that is clearing out your pores and hair follicles on your face. Regular soap might be fine for those that aren't suffering from adult acne, but those of us that do have complex skin need something more.

Ideally look for a product that contains benzoyl peroxide or salacylic acid. There are some great acne treatment products available which you can purchase in a kit form.

These 3 step systems usually contain a cleanser, spot or treatment gel, as well as a calmer that works to reduce the irritation to your skin.

A work while adult acne treatment to consider is Derma Cleanse.There's more information about here in these Zenmed Derma Cleanse reviews.

Spot Treatment to Fight Bacteria

A quality acne spot gel will stop pimples when they first start and stop the bacteria from spreading around your face. While this is more of a maintenance issue it's good to get in the habit of using one now.

Avoid squeezing pimples or touching your face excessively if possible, this to will spread acne quickly. This does more harm then helps, and it promotes scars being left.
