Acne in woman

 Tip: Make sure to clean
               cosmetic brushes
               regularly in soapy water
               and throw out old,
               contaminated makeup.

In recent years, women in their 20s, 30s and even 40s are triggered with outbreaks of acne.

Nearly 5% of women over 40 suffer from acne.

Without help, some women have continuing problems until they reach menopause.

Young women are more likely to have acne due to hormonal changes associated with their menstrual cycle, pregnancy or starting and stopping of birth control pills.

Hormonal changes in adolescent girls and woman starts 2 to 7 days before their menstrual period which is due to elimination of estrogen.

Oral contraceptives which are low in estrogen have little effect on acne but progesterone – only pills can make acne worse.

Some women’s acne virtually disappears during pregnancy but often recurs at the end while for others pregnancy heralds the reactivation of acne or worsening of an existing condition.

  Tip: Those who are pregnant must be extremely
                cautious before using any type of product,
                either orally or topically.
