Why am I still getting pimples as an adult?

RealAge answered:More than half of women (54%) over the age of 25 have acne. What happened? Weren’t pimples supposed to go away forever when we graduated from high school ... or, at least, college? Actually, one of the biggest sources of outrage in my office is women who can’t believe they are getting pimples and wrinkles at the same time! It just doesn’t seem fair. They think their bodies are going through an identity crisis, and the stress of worrying about the problem makes it all worse. No one can say why these marks of adolescent and middle-aged skin are converging, but our love affair with the sun is probably saddling us with wrinkles far earlier than our moms or grandmas got them, and the stress of modern life is keeping acne in play.
