Adult acne can stretch into your 20’s and even through your 40‘s, and a lot of women are dealing with it these days. I myself get a blemish or two every now and then, so I got to wondering, what are the causes? Dr. Schultz has identified three major causes of adult acne:

Air Pollution

As much as I didn't want to get out of bed yesterday morning, the one thing I wasn't bothered to get back to was my skincare routine.

It’s amazing how heading out of town can disrupt a routine; at home with my family, I was going to bed at a different time (much earlier) and leaving the makeup in the bag. That doesn't seem so bad, right? While I do think giving my skin a bit of a break from the usual foundation, blush and mascara trio did some good, I skipped out on exfoliation and my daily/nightly cleansing a time or two which... isn't so good.

Why not give the following steps a try next time you have 20 minutes to spare?

Step 1: Cleanse

Use a cleanser to set the foundation for your facial. One that’s suited for your skin type (oily, combination or normal) will help wash away the debris and dead cells that’ve accumulated on the surface of your skin.

Step 2: Skin Analysis

Sure we’re looking at our faces daily, but a weekly once over will help you keep tabs on any changes that might be happening (good or bad). So, take a closer look and take your time with this step.

Step 3: Exfoliate

The issue of chapped lips is, simply put, an over drying of the skin on your lip. Cold air, low humidity, sunlight and even strong winds can cause this excessive dryness.

The reason why your lips can dry out so quickly - faster than other areas of your skin - is due to the fact that the skin on your lips is actually a mucus membrane. Without getting too technical, this means that the skin on your lips is much thinner and more delicate, so it’s more vulnerable.
