Fight Aging & Acne with Salicylic Acid

For most people, an imbalance of hormones causes adult acne. This can be a temporary change in hormones, as a result of pregnancy, using birth control or the menstrual cycle. The effect can be different for each woman. For example, some women find their skin is never so clear and beautiful as it is during pregnancy. Other women tend to break out more when they are pregnant. Later, more permanent changes come with peri -menopause and menopause.

The imbalance of hormones causes changes in the natural oils of the skin. This can happen in two ways. If the skin begins to produce too much oil, this can clog the skin and cause adult acne. If there isn’t enough oil produced, dry skin is the result. Very dry skin tends to wrinkle sooner than normal or oily skin.

Salicylic acid has benefits for acne and wrinkles. Salicylic acid promotes cell turnover, which helps unclog pores and reveal new skin cells. It offers results similar to strong alpha hydroxyl acids, but is gentler and therefore better for sensitive skin.

Jan Marini Skin Research has complete product lines to treat specific skin care issues and concerns. The San Jose Company has been conducting research in this area and creating innovative products since 1994. The company has a wonderful regimen for treating adult acne.

Jan Marini has a strong belief that common skin conditions can be treated with a specific combination of ingredients. These vary depending on the skin condition being treated. Some of the conditions that can be improved through the use of these products include acne, wrinkles and skin discoloration that results from age or time spent in the sun.

The product regimen for adult acne begins with the Bioglycolic Bioclean Cleanser, if you have sensitive skin. If your skin isn’t sensitive, but is oily, you would cleanse with the Oily Skin Cleansing Gel. This product contains glycol acid, which is great for oily skin, but can cause a reaction in very sensitive skin.

The Bioglycolic Bioclear Lotion is an amazing product for both acne and wrinkles. This lotion was created with adult skin in mind, unlike most acne products, which are created for teen skin. The lotion has both anti-aging and skin resurfacing properties. Regular use of the lotion will result in an improvement in wrinkles from age or sun exposure, acne scarring and inflammation of the skin.

These are professional grade skin care products. The lotion contains 2 percent salicylic acid for adult acne and wrinkles. It must be used under the supervision of a licensed skin care professional or a doctor. A free, online consultation will need to be done prior to purchasing the products for the first time.
