along with no more curfews or Algebra II tests, one of the perks of being older than an adolescent is no more acne. So why is it that 30-somethings — and even 50-somethings — are struggling to clear up their complexions?

Home Remedies for Acne

Acne is an inflammatory skin disorder that affects the sebaceous glands just under the surface of the skin; these glands, commonly known as oil glands, are attached to hair follicles, and the oil, or sebum, that they produce moisturizes the skin and hair. It is common during adolescence for these glands to become enlarged and to produce excessive quantities of sebum.

A common bacteria that resides in the skin is nourished by sebum and propagates when the sebum level is increased. this increases the levels of white blood cells around the follicle, causing inflammation of the skin. these inflammations then lead to the formation of what we know as acne, in the form of blackheads or whiteheads.
