What Causes Acne?

Usually, dead cells gather in the skin’s pores, then gradually rise to the surface of the openings and inevitably fall away from the skin.

A natural body oil called sebum keeps skin cells from drying out. The glands that produce this oil are joined to the pores.

At the point when excess sebum develops, it can make dead cells to stick together, forming a mixture that ends up caught in the pores.

Acne occurs when a pore becomes clogged with dead skin cells, natural body oils, and a kind of bacteria/ microbes. These bacteria live on the skin. If they enter and contaminate clogged pores, this causes acne blemishes to form.
