the face. It is caused by oil that get trapped in the pores.
Acne comes in a few different forms: whiteheads, blackheads,
pimples or swollen nodules. The most common cause of acne is
hormone changes which is why teens are more likely to experience
it. There are, however, other reasons that acne occurs. Clogged
pores can trap oil and result in acne. Some people are
genetically predisposed to getting acne. Once you have

cosmetics or other products you should use water-based products
that are less likely to clog pores. Lastly, avoid touching your

you have a severe case of acne you may seek help from your
dermatologist. Most acne cases are easily cleared up with home
remedies or OTC treatments.
