I'm 30, Why Acne Now?

It is becoming more and more common for young women who had no problem during teen years to develop adult acne between ages 30-35. There are probably many reasons. One significant reason is related to the use of birth control pills.

Birth control pills utilize two hormone groups that are synthetically made to mimic the ovarian cycle/ovulation processes that are normally at work only during pregnancy. Specifically, birth control pills trick the ovaries into thinking that the lady is already pregnant, so ovulation does not occur. These synthetic hormones in most birth control pills have strong Androgenic (male hormone) side effects upon sebaceous gland production of oil in the skin, often causing oil production to increase.

Another possible reason for getting acne at the age of 30 might relate to hormone adjustments after a pregnancy, nursing a child, or simply experiencing the stressful lifestyle so prevalent today with all the demands and time limits we impose on ourselves.

Men can also still have acne symptoms at age 30, although it is unlikely that adult acne will develop then for the first time. We are all still subjected to stress, and some men may skip the gentle cleansing of facial areas after sports, etc., causing acne to occur. So adult acne can still be a problem.
