CAUSES OF ACNE ON MATURE SKIN
(No. It's not because of the chocolate)
We assume that in adolescence, most likely, we will have acne and although it is not desirable, it is expected.
However, when we are past adolescence and "sparkles of youth" appear, it seems unexpected and annoying to us, because the characteristics of the outbreaks of Postadolescent acne or also called adult acne are much more aggressive.
Unlike adolescent acne, adult acne pimples are small red bumps and usually appear in the U zone, which is the lower half of the face (jaw, chin) and on the neck, while adolescents tend to have them in the T zone (front, nose), cheeks, back and neckline.
Adult acne breakouts tend to become more inflamed and red, painful and difficult to treat.

3.- Change your pillowcase at least every 15 days.
4.- Clean the screen of your cell phone frequently
5.- Use products that can help us mitigate sebum production such as the following:
