What’s Up With Acne, Anyway?
Ever wonder why you get acne? You're not alone. Acne usually starts when oil and dead skin clog up your hair follicles. Imagine your skin like a busy highway; sometimes traffic gets jammed, and that's when acne happens. Factors that can make it worse include:

Acne can occur later in life. Some adults continue to get acne well into their 30s, 40s, and even 50s. It is even possible to get acne for the first time as an adult. Dermatologists and Estheticians call this “adult-onset acne.” It is most common among women going through menopause.

You’re not the cute, smooth-skinned presence you once were, and it seems like you may never be that bubbly, happy person again.
