People suffering from acne problems often get confused about using moisturizer, especially in winter. Oily skin with wide open pores is the root cause of acne and pimples. Most people with oily skin avoid buying moisturizers as they (wrongly) think that moisturizers aggravate acne problems further.

Androgens, a group of steroid hormones, become active. Sexual characteristics start to develop at this age. As a result, facial glands become enlarged and sebaceous glands become hyper-active. Higher amount of sebum and dead skin cells result in clogged pores (follicles). This is the main reason behind acne.

Hormonal changes result in higher sebum secretion. Sebaceous glands are the oil glands present on the skin. Higher amount of oil makes the skin oily that attracts more dust particles. As a result, dust and dead skin cells clog the pores and lead to inflammatory lesions on face, neck, shoulder, chest and back.

Apart from these, a dermatologist can identify whether the signs of aging have started to appear on your skin. If yes, the doctor would recommend you certain type of anti aging skincare that would help you delay the effects of aging. Facial rejuvenation, skin toning, microdermabrasion, cleansing and other facial treatments help get back younger looking skin and reduce the effects of aging.

Acne problems begin at the age of 11 to 13 – the age of adolescence. The main reason behind acne is the change in hormone levels that take place during adolescence. That is the reason acne is often cited as an adolescent problem; but the fact is: even adults can have acne problems.

Some of the popular treatments include bacterial acne treatment, hormonal acne treatment, natural acne treatment and so on. You can go for cosmetic surgery.
