Many assume acne clears up with age, but that's not guaranteed. Women experience adult acne more frequently than men, and recent research points to inadequate fruit and vegetable consumption as a potential factor.
Findings from Italy's Dermatology Research Center reveal that women consuming fruits, vegetables, or fresh fish three days or fewer per week are twice as likely to have acne compared to those eating these foods more often. Importantly, this suggests an association, not direct causation.
Other Key Factors in Adult Acne Genetics play a significant role, as does stress. Breakouts often surge post-pregnancy. This study found no connection to dairy products, though prior research from the same team did.
Acne remains a complex condition. If it were simpler, an effective, lasting solution would likely exist already. Research continues.
