I considered myself very lucky since I don’t have acne problem during my teens. Of course, I had a few pimples once in a while, but it had never been serious. But before you find a cure for your acne, it would help if you can understand the causes of acne.
Firstly, most acne cases begin during puberty when the body produces a hormone called androgens. But if the sebaceous glands are over stimulated by androgens, it will cause acne in some individuals. Sometimes, women will experience this too especially days before the menstrual cycle.
The next cause of acne will be extra sebum. The extra sebum will move up the follicle until it reaches the surface, and if it’s mixed with skin bacteria and dead skin cell, the skin is more than lightly to be clogged. Thus, the extra sebum causes acne.
Besides that, if you have inflammation, it will cause pimples to be red and swollen as well. Some people will suffer from acne if they have a chemotaxis response.
Thus, if you are suffering from acne, consult a skin doctor. He will be able to suggest the best skin care products for you.
