What Is Acne?
It starts is the sebaceous glands located within the hair follicles. These glands produce Oil. But at times they produce excessive oil and can cause a blockage, and along with Dead skin cells you will create bacteria to thrive in. It is possible for the blockage to bulge which causes white heads. Or if the blockage remains open near the surface and becomes dark this is known as a black head.

MYTH BUSTERS

• Eating chocolate make you breakout.
  Nothing you eat causes acne. Also eating greasy or oily foods do not cause acne. Acne is caused when dead skin cells clog the pore and, plug the gland where your body makes natural oil to protect your skin. The bacteria sets in and you get a pimple.
  
  
• Blackheads are a sign that you are not washing your face enough.
