What They Don’t Tell You About Aging (Until It’s Too Late)

Acne Resurfaces

Pimples are not just for adolescents. Oh no, those embarrassing outbreaks can resurface in older people, too. The problem is with collagen in the skin. Aging forces collagen to break down, creating wrinkles and weakening the skin. Aside from becoming more prone to bruising, your pores will clog faster. Women may struggle with acne during menopause, because their hormones fluctuate wildly. Once the hormones level out, the acne should clear up. The same thing happens with andropause, the male version of menopause.

The best way to prevent acne outbreaks is to take care of your skin. No matter what age you are, you should establish a decent skin care routine. Be sure to wash your skin of oil, sebum, and dirt whenever you return from a workout or other physical activity. That will stop bacteria from invading your pores and causing acne.
