Nowadays having facial skin which is clear, glowing, attractive, smooth and soft is a very rare occurrence. Those who have skin like this should consider themselves lucky as it is indeed a blessing. But without taking proper care of the skin, you can not have skin which is beautiful. Facial acne can be managed and a youthful look obtained on the face if only a little hard work is done. Along with acne which has very negative effects on the face, there are also climatic effects and the effects of tension and stress which result in deep impact on the skin, and people then look even older than they are.

The reason why acne develops on the skin is that the follicles get blocked. The sebaceous glands then increase and with that the production of sebum as well as the production of androgen increases. Open comedo, which is a blackhead, or a closed comedo, which is a whitehead is formed when the microcomedo gets enlarged. When skin pores get clogged with dead skin cells, and naturally occurring oil known as sebum whiteheads are directly formed. Inflammation is subsequently caused when the acne bacteria grow in these conditions, and after that, nodules, papules, or infected pustules can be seen on the face. This also causes redness and then hyper pigmentation and also scarring.

There are a number of major reasons of the occurrence of acne on the face. One of the reasons is the genetic and family history of the person. If it is common in the family for people to have acne, there is a chance that the next person will have it too some time or the other.
