Have you ever experienced waking up in the morning to a painful red pimple on your face? Chances are very high according to the American Academy of Dermatology Association. Acne is the most common skin condition in the United States. It affects up to 50 million Americans annually and 85% of that are between the ages of 12 - 24 years of age. It usually starts when your child is going through puberty.
We all know what a pimple is but do you know how they develop? They form when the pores of your skin become clogged from increased oil production and thickening of skin cells of hair. The acne bacteria thrive within the clogged pores of the skin which causes redness and inflammation. Some other factors that can influence acne are genetics, hormones that cause an increase in oil gland production which clogs skin pores, environmental factors (cosmetic products, climate, sun exposure), and diet.
