Triggers for Adult Acne and Acne Rosacea

August 10, 2010

Identifying environmental and lifestyle triggers that cause adult acne or acne rosacea to flare up can be a great way to reduce your symptoms. By recognising and avoiding these factors you can begin to treat your acne holistically.

Adult acne triggers are very personal and something that causes a flare up in one person can have no impact on another acne sufferer. For this reason it can take some time to identify your own triggers, and it’s a good idea to keep a diary of your break outs.

Some of the environmental triggers that can make adult acne and ace rosacea worse include:

  • Exposure to sunlight
  • Emotional stresses
  • Hot or cold weather, humidity or excessive wind
  • Certain foods such as dairy or particular fruits
  • Drinking alcohol
  • Eating spicy food
  • Skin care products
  • Certain types of medication
  • Heavy exercise
