Skin blemishes can occur because of hormonal changes, lack of nutritious diet or even stress. Normally this occurs in teenagers, but can continue in adulthood. The severity of this varies from case to case.

Every one of us gets hormonal changes and we are all susceptible to skin blemishes or acne. Certain actions will help reduce/eliminate acne: wash your face when you come home from outside, remove makeup using antibacterial soap; and do not use harsh/ scented soaps. Also avoid using expired make-up products.
