Waking up to find red bumps scattered across our skin can be horrifying and can put a damper on the rest of our day as we try to figure out what we can do to make it go away and stay away. Thankfully, acne is extremely common and there is plenty of research, products, and treatment that are available. In this first part, we will begin to discuss acne, what it is, and why it can form.
Acne is in reference to a variety of skin blemishes such as pimples, white and blackheads, and more severe cysts and nodules. The primary factors for the formation of these involve excess oil production and clogged pores.
Your skin naturally produces sebum, which helps keep your skin moist, however an excess of these can lead to clogged pores. Once the sebum and dead skin cells become trapped in hair follicles, it creates a strong environment for acne causing bacteria to grow.
