The problem of teen acne is one that is associated with the same things that cause acne in adults, such as dirt and dead skin cells clogging pores, and of course, oily skin. However, the hormone fluctuations associated with the teenage years can often cause acne flare-ups to be much more severe than they might be later in life. Because hormones cause the glands in your face to create much too much oil, that oil then clogs pores and in turn leads to acne. This is why it is so important for the vast majority of teenagers to implement a proper acne care skin care routine into their daily lives.”
