Acne is produced when the hair follicles become filled with dead skin cells and oil.

This area is a suitable for triggering bacteria and creating pus-filled bumps formally known as pimples. This condition is commonly triggered when your hormones begin to transform, this increases oil production that doesn’t help the problem.
