The Many Faces of Adult Acne

Acne is a symptom that causes much distress for sufferers and can impact quality of life as frustration, embarrassment, anxiety and even depression can set in when struggling with the onset of adult acne. It can come as a surprise when in our teen years our skin may have been clear (or reasonably clear) but then appeared in force in late teens or 20’s, possibly even later. Often our hormones are blamed as ‘flares’ may occur around menstrual cycles. However a deeper understanding of acne can demonstrate that the acne is a response to deeper imbalances at the gut level.
