Why are people looking for top acne tips to prevent acne breakouts? Well close to 50 million people have acne in the United States alone with most of them being teenagers going through puberty.
Doctors do know that acne breakouts are caused by the body's skin secreting excess amounts of sebum (oil). But what causes this excess secretion is not fully understood, but it is believed to be caused by an imbalance in the body's hormones.
So how does acne develop and what are some tips for preventing and stopping acne?
Acne Formation
There are three things that are needed to form acne: sebum, dead skin and bacteria. When the skin starts to secrete excess amounts of sebum, the sebum clumps together with the dead skin that is on the surface of your skin.
These clumps of dead skin then block the skins pores trapping bacteria inside the pores. The bacteria then start to grow which is then attacked by the body's immune system causing inflammation, otherwise known as acne.
