Why do we get Acne?

Why do we get Acne?

Acne is mainly linked to the changes that take place as we reach puberty.
The hormones that cause our physical maturation also means that our sebaceous glands produce more oil.
As the skin sheds cells more rapidly in puberty, we find that they mix with the oil and block the opening of the hair follicles.
This becomes a likely spot (forgive the pun) for infection.

How does it affect adolescents at this time?

Acne is a great concern as it coincides with the development of their personalities. I still remember the feeling of disgust when I looked at my face in the mirror - would a girl ever be interested in me?
Girls also may suffer in the same way, but they have always been able to use make-up to help disguise those dreaded spots.

Can basic home remedies help?

Yes, most certainly.
One of the best ways to fight and prevent acne, on the face and on the body, is to keep the pores clean and un-clogged.
Acne can be avoided to a large degree by following some basic steps.
During summer or any hot weather when we sweat more, it is important that sweat should not remain on the body for a long period of time because it will mix with the body's oil and grime clogging the pores.

Please do not assume that a person with acne is "dirty".

Yes, hygiene is important but acne can, and will in many cases, persist in troubling a person even while care is being taken to keep clean. The fact is that it could be even worse if left alone.
This article is my attempt to give a broad spectrum answer to the question how to deal with acne and how can I get shot of it!
