Pimples are not just for teenagers. Hormones are as much of a problem for adults as they are for adolescents. Cleansing twice a day and adequately moisturizing are simple steps to take but sometimes it’s not enough, especially for adults. Other important steps for adults include:

• Monitor your diet and your skin’s reaction to particular foods. Caffeine, sugar, and dairy are common triggers. There are also many helpful foods that you can eat to maintain a healthy skin diet.

• Drink plenty of water

• Take a vitamin that contains a high percentage of vitamin A like Murad Pure Skin Clarifying Supplement

• Use a moisturizer particular for acne prone skin like Murad Skin Perfecting Lotion

• For women, take a birth control pill that will reduce acne

• Use an exfoliating scrub like Topix Replenix Fortified Exfoliation Scrub a couple of times a week

• Change pillow cases at least once a week
