During the early teen years, teens are at a greater risk for acne breakouts, when the bodies oil glands
start over-producing sebum (skin oil that can resemble grease). Your body sheds dead skin cells constantly adding to the problem
and some people have “sticky” skin cells that don’t shed normally – they just remain attached to the skin. In teens who have acne,
these excess skin cells mixes with the oil and plug up the hair follicles.
The Common Myths
Quite a few different myths are around out there
there about what leads to acne. Let’s straighten some out right now.
– Dirt does not cause acne
A blackhead may look like dirt plugging
one of your pores, but that is not the likely cause.
The sebum and skin cells mix together, sometimes rising to the opening of the pore.
But the real cause is still deep inside the pore.
Enjoy your French fries and Chocolate. Indulging in these favorites does not increase
sebum production in the skin.
– Some of you may have been told that sexual activity can cause acne. Not true.
Who Gets More Acne Boys or Girls?
While both boys and girls get acne – it’s worse in boys because their bodies produce more skin oils.
Your immune system can come into play as well – making you extra sensitive to the bacteria that get trapped in the hair follicles.
What Makes Acne Worse?
– If you use makeup, suntan products or hair products that contain oil – they can add to the pore-plugging problem.
Stress – like applying to schools, or grades, or dating pressures – help bring out acne.

During a girl’s period, hormone levels may create more sebum in the skin, which worsen the breakouts.
– And, beware of the sun –
not only can it cause pimples, it can damage your skin causing premature aging.
