It happens because hormones and oil build up – hence why it’s so common in teenagers. However acne is also caused by stress, this is mostly common in people who have never experienced acne.
There are two main types of Acne:
Non-Inflammatory Acne – Including black heads, white heads, and other spots called comedones and milla.
