Acne ,black heads and pimples

Bodytique can help you prevent and cope with theses
How Does Acne Develop?Acne is a skin disorder which is caused by plugged pores on the skin. Acne lesions arise through pilosebaceous units, which are made of sebaceous glands and hair follicles in the middle layer of skin called the dermis. Pilosebaceous units are found all over the body except in the palms of hands and the bottoms of feet. That is why we do not have body hair or oil glands in these places, and thus no acne.
Acne StatisticsAcne is one of the most common skin diseases in the United States. It is not contagious, but rather develops most prevalently during the teenage years and the early 20s. Acne is caused by an excess production of oil in the sebaceous glands.
5 main sources of acne:
Bacteria buried deep inside your pores
Dead skin cells that clog your pores
Excess oil production in your skin
Improper moisture balance Inflammation
