Acne represent a huge problem to teenagers. Teenagers who suffer acne feel ugly. isolated, and insecure. Who wouldn't when everywhere you look, only clear skinned people are put on the pedestal.

First step to take is to understand what acne really is and from there you can take the required steps in curing or at least reducing your acne problem.
Acne is the term for plugged pores (whiteheads and blackheads), pimples, and deeper lumps (nodules) that appear in the face, neck, chest, back and upper arms. Acne is produced by build up of dead skin and excess oil in a pore. The causes of this are clogged skin, natural hormones and bacteria.
The onset of acne occurs between the ages of twelve to seventeen. Almost all teenagers had acne. Many of them used non-prescription treatments to alleviate acne and recover their healthy skin, but severe acne cases are observed in more than 40% of teenagers in their mid-teens. Usually, it disappears in the early twenties. Then again, there are many cases wherein acne starts or continues into adulthood.
It is interesting to note though that young men who are more likely to suffer severe acne, don't consult specialists with the frequency that young women do. But then again, skin health problems and irregular acne are more likely to appear in young women, due to hormonal changes during menstrual cycle or due to the cosmetic products they use. Even adult women can be afflicted by this kind of acne.
The ultimate question now is how do you minimize acne?
