Adult acne is mainly caused due to the life style. You have to face the hustle and bustle, hurry and worry to earn, to cook, you have to work hard and sort of. Due to this you are tensed. This leads to hormonal imbalance. If you are a hardcore tea or coffee drinker then you produce a steroid hormone called cortisol. This makes your skin look aged. Smoking is also aid to create adult acne. If you are not health conscious and have diet full of junk food then you will have acne. Apart from this some studies have proved that acne is hereditary. It runs into the families. Milk and milk products are also responsible for acne as derived by some studies.
Due to acne skin produces a chemical called hydrogen peroxide. This chemical leads to production of free radicals. Free radicals are responsible for skin looking aged.
