Acne

Acne varies in severity and more often than not will effect most people at some point in their lives whether its experiencing pubescent acne or adult acne later down the track.

It typically involves 4 key processes:

excess oil production
high cell turnover
abnormal skin shedding
the presence of bacteria.

These abnormalities often result in inflammation within the skin and the formation of blackheads, whiteheads, papules, pustules, cysts and/or nodules.

There are multiple factors that can contribute to acne such as incorrect product use, makeup, hormonal imbalances, stress, diet and lifestyle.
