subject: Adult Acne in Women - Causes and Treatment [print this page] Back in high school, dabbing some benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or retinoid on pimples may do the trick. This basic acne treatment may work for most women, but for those suffering from more severe or stubborn acne these are not enough. For best results, an all-around approach against acne is key. This means treating acne both from inside and outside the body, combining topical treatments with good nutrition and exercise. Incorporating lots of fruits and vegetables into your diet is an effective natural acne treatment that boosts your natural supply of skin vitamins. Exercise is also a good way to promote skin circulation, reduce stress, and normalize hormone levels in the body. Sometimes lifestyle changes can also go a long way in fighting acne. Just remember there is no single blanket solution against acne. Feel free to experiment with different products and regimens until you find one that suits you.
