Hormones play an enormous part in the cause of acne. This is why around 90% of teenagers will develop acne in some form when they hit puberty.
Hormones as a teenager is one thing, it causes them a lot of stress and seriously harms their self-confidence but there are a lot of treatments that help to reduce its appearance; they are usually quite successful. At the end of the day having acne as a teenager is a natural process, having it as an adult however is a little harder to deal with.
Adult acne can’t be treated using the same products you used as a teenager, mainly because you have it for different reasons. Adult acne can be caused by a number of factors but the main causes are stress and hormones. Both of these increase the production of oils in your skin which consequently gets trapped, along with bacteria, in your pores. This causes spots and pimples. Hormonal acne is more prevalent in women. This is because around the time of a period hormone levels are through the roof causing extra oil to be produced.
