Not too long ago, youth pop icon Justin Bier was seen flaunting his zits on his social media pages. In fact, he even captioned a video with these words, ‘Pimples are in’.

Pimples and acne affect all of us; every three out of four people, aged between 11 and 30 years, suffer from breakouts. But if you’re feeling happy that you will not suffer pimples and acne beyond your 30s, think again. Experts say acne can affect all age groups; hormonal fluctuations can cause pimples later in life as well. Other risk factors can include hormonal imbalance, erratic menstrual cycle, anxiety and stress and using oil-based skin and makeup products.
Why do we get pimples?
Blame it on the oil (sebaceous) glands that exist under the skin. These glands produce an oily substance called sebum. These are connected to pores on our skin through follicles (from each of which a tiny hair grows). Sebum produced by the glands carries dead skin cells to the skin surface through follicles. Experts say that pimples break out when these follicles (and thence pores) get blocked and oil accumulates under the skin. Skin cells and sebum can all get clumped together, facilitating breakouts. All these can get aggravated by the presence of a bacteria called Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) on the skin.
During puberty, thanks to hormonal changes, sebaceous glands can grow bigger and start making extra sebum. Experts say this sebum can be thicker than usual and can clog the pores in a more obstinate way.
