ACNE :
1. Studies show that an estimated 80 % percent of people experience acne at some point. No one knows exactly what the cause of acne is, but there are a few theories. Acne normally begins between the ages of eleven and thirteen for both MALES and FEMALES due to changes in hormone levels. These hormones, called androgens, will enlarge the facial glands. The oil produced by the glands is known as sebum. The hair follicles shed dead cells too quickly and the cells and sebum form a blockage in the gland.

7.STRESS: Especially in adults, stress can be another cause of acne. When you are stressed, the hormone cortisol is produced. Cortisol will worsen any acne you already have. To prevent stress-related acne, try relaxation and MEDITATION. Some adults experience acne from picking at blemishes on their SKIN. You should never pick at or squeeze a pimple, blackhead or any other blemish on your face. This can only cause more acne and possibly an infection. When CLEANING your face, avoid harsh FACIAL cleansers (they cause the creation of more sebum) and scrubbing your face too vigorously.
