Maybe it is chocolate's fault?Perhaps the cleansing routine has fallen below standard alongside all the other 'me time' luxuries? Or my Aldi brand facial cleanser is just not cutting the mustard?
Adult acne tends to develop around the mouth, on the chin and along the jawline and more commonly affects women than men. It usually falls into one of two categories: 'persistent acne' is problem skin that carries through from adolescence into adulthood; 'late-onset acne' starts after the age of 25, with people in their 30s and even 40s developing the condition. No matter how old you are, acne occurs when there is an increase in the production of sebum (an oil that keeps your skin soft and supple) in the skin which, combined with an increase in the number of dead skin cells around skin pores, leads to clogging of the skin follicles. Bacteria then accumulates in the skin follicles, causing inflammation. Dietary and hygiene factors can contribute, and some acne is caused by a genetic predisposition where dead skin cells build up inside the pores. Blackheads and whiteheads are potential pimples that haven't been attacked by this bacteria yet. But once the bacteria takes hold you can be sure you'll be sporting a whopper. Adult acne is cystic, which means it forms lumps under the skin. These cystic pimples can scar badly, so see a GP when they first appear. Soap, topical creams and lotions won't be of much assistance here. First Things First…Look closely at your face-cleansing schedule. Are you positive you are cleaning every last little whisp of makeup off every single night? This is often the main cause of adult acne – I know – this is what I found to be my problem. Give your skin a really great cleanse, then look at investing in a toner. Toners might seem somewhat 'Old Fashioned' – but they are there to really get rid of any last tiny bits of makeup that cleansing might of missed. In saying that – don't over-clean your face. Use a gentle cleanser – you don't want to aggravate your skin to the point that is is even more unhappy than it was before. Ditch all makeup and skincare products that are over six months old. Old products can gather bacteria which will only make adult acne even worse. Next, invest in a good makeup brush cleaner. These are the best invention ever. When you think about it, makeup brushes accumulate old skin cells, have old makeup and oils on them that are just nasty. Clean your brushes after every single use. If your brushes are really old, please ditch them. Even regularly investing in cheaper brushes will be better for your skin than using good quality brushes that are old and might just be exaggerating the issue. Stop Touching Your Face!Hands and fingers are disgusting! You just think about how many times per day you are touching objects, then touching your face. You are transferring bacteria, which gets into any open sores (ie picked pimples – we all do it) – and then makes the problem worse. Many times touching your face is sheer habit. To reduce the chances of spreading that bacteria, try washing your hands more often to that they are as clean as they can be. Having a small anti-bacterial gel on your work desk or at home where you see it a lot is a good idea too. Be Gentle!If you are scrubbing your skin with washers or abrasive cleansers, this can just aggravate your acne and make problems worse. Use a gentle cleanser and although exfoliation is very important, switch to a chemical exfoliant rather than an abrasive one. Chemical exfoliants use ingredients to 'dissolve' the dirt and grime in your skin. They are gentle and very moisturising – although you do need to use them for awhile to see any results.

Built in 1988 on just over 2.5 acres in Beverly Hills, CA, the mansion has seven bedrooms and 10 bathrooms. “No expense was spared” in its recent renovation, the listing states. The ground level offers spacious living and entertaining spaces, including living and dining rooms, an office, open kitchen and family room, billiard room, and home theater. The upstairs contains the master bedroom with dual bathrooms and closets, six more bedrooms, and a gym. The home has been outfitted with smart home technology, including fingerprint recognition. “That the property has been reimagined to such an exacting standard and is available for sale is most compelling,” says listing agent Christopher Dyson. “To have a practically brand-new, move-in ready opportunity, in what many consider to be the most exclusive community in the city, is very special.” If you haven't heard of Beverly Park, it's a prestigious under-the-radar enclave. According to one report, it's actually the richest neighborhood in L.A., based on a study that looked at income. With homes that average 20,000 square feet and an empty lot listed for a whopping $30 million, “the gated community of Beverly Park is one of the most exclusive, expensive places in Los Angeles, a land of exclusive, expensive places,” the Wall Street Journal noted in 2015. A-listers, including Denzel Washington, Mark Wahlberg, and Sylvester Stallone, have all called this area home. Dyson loves what the sellers have done with the mansion. “In particular the grounds and entertaining areas are exquisite,” he says. “The flow and living areas of the home have been reconfigured to reflect a more contemporary, modern feel that buyers desire. This is a 'no excuse' home for the most discerning buyer who also requires the extra layer of privacy and security that the Park affords.” The post 'Reimagined' Beverly Park Mansion for $42M Is This Week's Most Expensive New Listing appeared first on Real Estate News & Insights | realtor.com®. |
