Teenage Acne
Unwelcome breakouts make being a teenager downright frustrating. About 85-percent of American teenagers, starting at about twelve years old and older, suffer from acne.
During puberty, the body begins to develop and mature. Hormones stimulate the sebaceous glands to produce more sebum (oil) and the glands become overactive. Pores are clogged by this excess oil; which is mixed with dead skin cells and dirt. The skin's pores trap the material and react with bacteria as well. This process triggers swelling, redness and pimples on the body - including face, neck, chest and back.
