Why Acne Happens – and What You Can Do About It
Acne occurs when hair follicles get clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. The primary causes include:
- Excess oil production (sebum)
- Hormonal changes
- Stress and diet
- Bacterial infections
- Genetics
- Practical Tip: If you frequently touch your face, try keeping a pack of tissues handy or tying your hair back to prevent oil transfer.

Rich in citric and lactic acids, apple cider vinegar fights bacteria and helps reduce acne.
- Mix 1 part apple cider vinegar with 3 parts water.
- Apply with a cotton ball and rinse after 20 seconds.
- Pro Tip: Always do a patch test first, as it can be strong for sensitive skin.
