Acne is a common skin disorder that can result in several types of blemish. Some include pimples, whiteheads, and blackheads. There are many ways to prevent acne.
Dermatologists have identified four factors that contribute to the development of acne:

  • the skin producing too much oil, which clogs pores
  • dead skin cells building up, which has the same effect
  • the presence of a bacteria called Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) in the pores
  • Inflammation of the skin, which also leads to redness
