Acne is a long-term skin disease that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with dead skin cells and oil from the skin. It is caused by an interaction between hormones, skin oils, and bacteria, which results in the inflammation of hair follicles. Genetics is thought to be the cause in 80% of cases.Acne is a long-term skin disease that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with dead skin cells and oil from the skin.

Younger and healthier-looking skin

Looking after your skin during the teenage years could be challenging. With the onset of teenage years comes a dramatic change in hormone levels - in particular an increase in the production of testosterone, a male hormone which is produced by both men and women. Testosterone can trigger the sebaceous glands in the skin to produce increased levels of sebum, which gives rise to an oilier complexion and can provide the perfect environment for pimples to thrive.

Stress or changes in your hormone levels, like menopause or switching or stopping birth control pills could also cause an outbreak.

A pimple is a small pustule or papule. Pimples are small skin lesions or inflammations of the skin - they develop when sebaceous glands (oil glands) become clogged and infected, leading to swollen, red lesions filled with pus. Pimples are also known as spots or zits. Pimples generally occur on the face, neck, back and shoulders.
