Acne occurs when the pores on your skin become blocked with oil, dead skin, or bacteria. Each pore on your skin is the opening to a follicle. The follicle is made up of a hair and a sebaceous (oil) gland. The oil gland releases sebum (oil), which travels up the hair, out of the pore, and onto your skin. The sebum keeps your skin lubricated and soft.

Acne can be caused by one or more problems in this lubrication process. It can occur when:

Bacteria build up in your pores
Dead skin cells accumulate in your pores
Too much oil is produced by your follicles
All of these problems contribute to the development of pimples.

A zit appears when bacteria grows in a clogged pore and the oil is unable to escape.

There are other factors also that plays,such as:

Genetics can play a big part in the development and persistence of spots, so family history can give you a good idea of how likely it is that you will develop pimples.

How often you shed skin cells which can change throughout your life, the amount of sebum that your skin produces which is affected by your hormone balance, which is often in flux especially for women.

– Changing hormone levels in adolescent girls and adult women two to seven days before the start of the menstrual period.
