According to a new survey from Zeno, maker of blemish treatment devices, stress is the number one reason why adults get pimples. Something I personally can vouch for!

The Zeno Blemish Anguish Index was conducted in February and March 2009 by Harris Interactive and surveyed 5,151 adults and 900 teens nationwide.

Here are some acne facts revealed by the survey.

1. The majority of adults and almost all teens have suffered from spots.

2. Nearly 71% of adults get spots regularly.

3. Women are more likely than men to get a pimple and also more likely to have them once a month or more often.

4. More than half of women over 55 still get spots.

5. About 65% of women would rather have a bad hair day than a pimple.

6. Adults, regardless of gender, are most likely to get pimples somewhere on their face with most blemish sufferers getting them on the chin followed by the forehead, nose and cheeks.

7. To cope with pimples, more than one-third of adults have picked at or popped a blemish to the point of making it worse and women are more likely to have done so than men.

8. Women are also more likely to have bought special make-up or product or wore their hair a different way to try to hide the pimple.

9. 3% of adults have used a make-up pencil to darken a blemish and make it look like a beauty mark, 3% have put a band-aid on it to conceal it and 3% have fibbed and told people a blemish was a bug bite or something else.

10. Among single adults, over half say it is important that they do not have a spot on their wedding day and 41% say having a blemish on their wedding day would make the day less enjoyable.
