Genes: Acne has a genetic component which causes some adults to have acne even in their 40s. Diet and stress also play a role. Sleeping enough hours nightly will help minimize acne. Also avoiding high glycemic index foods such as chocolate, or starchy foods may help. Consult a dermatologist for a treatment regimen.
