Blockage of the hair follicles in the skin with excess oil and dead skin cells can cause the unsightly skin condition that goes by the name 'Acne'.
It could either be in the form of zits/pimples, blackheads or tiny bumps. Either ways, it can greatly affect your entire beauty quotient and make you feel conscious of the way you look.
The inflammation, redness and the discomfort that an acne causes in its wake are highly unavoidable. Even slathering cosmetics on your skin won't do you any good.
