Whitehead extractions on a patient with improving acne

Avoid from hair sprays or gels, try to keep them away from your face, as they can also clog up pores. Acne isn't really helped by the sun, either.

The hormone group androgens, found in both females and males, get overactive which in turn causes a reaction in the oil glands, which make extra oil. The oil glands are located just underneath the skin surface. Oil glands constantly are producing and secreting oil through the pores in the skin. When too much of the oils are produced the pores and hair follicles become clogged. 

Before we talk about the treatments available, we should take a look at why acne can cause scarring. The primary reason for any kind of scar is tissue damage. When body tissue is damaged, our body tries to heal and protect it from infection. In the case of acne, dead skin cells block the body s pores, preventing the secretion of natural oils in the skin.
