Acne is caused by oily substances called keratin and sebum that come from your hair follicles! Produced by the hormone testosterone, which is at high levels in adolescents. This accounts for the reason acne in especially prevalent during the teenage years. The oil clogs up the tiny hair follicles on your skin and the skin gets inflamed from the bacteria that multiplies. All the oils come from sebaceous glands which are numerous on the face, chest, back and shoulders - where most acne is found. A follicle that is trapped near the surface would be a whitehead. Blackheads are from deeper ones.

Special care should be taken of the face by always washing gently with a mild soap. Scrubbing the face will only irritate your skin and won't reach bacteria that is deeper into the skin. Squeezing whiteheads should only be done if the pus has turned yellow or white and the pimple is soft to the touch. First soften it with warm water. Do not use fingernails - you might leave scars on your skin! Blackheads are clogs of oil that have turned dark with contact with air. Again, do not scrub them, you will worsen the problem. You can use an extractor (drugstore variety), soften first with a warm compress.

There are natural methods that can be useful in controlling acne. A low-fat diet is recommended (no more than 20% of the calories coming from fat). Your diet should also be high in fiber, be sure to include whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Dairy products have been known to be a problem for some people, you might try reducing or eliminating them to test the results. Stress and anxiety are also known to be cause acne problems.
