The main culprit is the combination of skin scales, oil and bacteria that reside inside your follicles and sebaceous glands. Acne occurs due to sebum, dead skin cells and bacteria clogging your pores. The dark color of blackheads isn’t dirt, but rather the coloring of the dead cells at the top of the clogged pores.

Althought good hygiene is important for healthy skin,washing your face too often with incorrect products can actually irritate your skin by drying it out. As the oil glands continue secreteing oil through irritated skin,acne can actually worsen. Having regular facials and using gentle but effective products that are prescribed for your skin type will make a huge difference.

Laser photo rejuvenation will help with redness and scarring as well as stimulating your skin cell regeneration to speed up the healing process.
