acne treatment
Acne develops when sebum (oil) and dead skin cells plug hair follicles. Bacteria can trigger inflammation and infection resulting in more severe acne. Common triggers for acne include stress, diet, hormones, genetics, oil-based cosmetics, lack of sleep or other environmental factors. It is important to minimize acne triggers and to have a healthy skin care regimen that combats acne.
