Acne

what is it?
Acne is a skin disease that involves the oil glands at hair follicles. It mostly occurs during puberty when the sebaceous glands come into play. Acne isn't dangerous, it is just bacteria on your face. Acne occurs when your pores on your face get cloged with oils.
what do you do about it?
To treat acne you can wash your face, or for more serious acne you can go see a dermatologist to get a certain type of acne medication for your type of acne, or you can get laser treatments that take longer to help.
popping pimples
Most people think that popping pimples just makes them go away, but when you pop a pimple you just make it inflamed and it stays on your face even longer
washing your face
you should wash your face, but no to much, if you wash your face to much, i gets over dried which causes you to get even more acne!
lotion?
after you wash your face you should always use a moisturizer, but you should use a non comedogenic lotion, that means "non acne forming", and it is also very good for your skins hydration.
