Pimples and blackheads are common aggravations of puberty, but
about 40 percent of adults also get acne, experts say.
"Many people struggle with stress on a daily basis and don't eat
nutritious foods. This is reflected in the condition of their
skin," says cosmetician Gabriele Haeusler of Berlin. One of the
most common problems is acne.
"It can have different causes," says Gisela Hubbes, a
dermatologist from Duesseldorf. The skin reacts to the causes, for
example, medications or stress, by breaking out in pimples and
inflammation. In addition, fluctuations in hormone levels can also
trigger acne in adults.
