Clear Acne & Control Oil in a Gentle Way

What is a breakout?

Breakouts usually show up on the face, chest, upper back and shoulders. These areas have a lot of oil glands. When you have an acne flare the hair follicle gets filled with dead skin cells, oil and sometimes bacteria. This causes swelling, redness and inflammation. The pores get. Push their contents to the skins surface.
Acne happens when a skin pore gets clogged with oil and dead skin cells. It can affect anyone, no their age. The main reason for acne is changing hormones, the male hormone testosterone. When teenagers go through puberty their hormones surge and often so does acne.
Hormonal changes that cause acne are most common during the teen years. They can also affect adults. Women may have swings during their period, pregnancy and menopause that lead to acne breakouts. Acne can also be an effect of certain medications like anticonvulsants and steroids. Some people may be more likely to get acne because of their genes. One study found that 50% of adults with acne had a family member, with acne.
