Acne's Adult Lower Face Trend
- Acne is increasingly common in adult women, especially on the lower third of the face.
- This "surgical mask distribution" may be due to hormonal sensitivity in that area.
Diet’s Role in Acne
- Diet impacts acne mostly in predisposed individuals; high glycemic index foods and dairy promote inflammation.
- Acne is inflammatory; bacteria presence alone isn't the sole cause of breakouts.
Choosing Acne Treatments
- For inflammatory acne with red, angry bumps, use benzoyl peroxide.
- For blackheads and whiteheads, salicylic acid is preferred; combine treatments for best results.
