Acne is a skin condition characterized by inflammation of the pores and sebaceous glands, which causes pimples, blackheads, and swollen red bumps that usually appear on the face, neck, arms, and back. Although acne can occur for hereditary, hormonal, and stress reasons, many cases of acne are caused by the uncontrolled presence of bacteria on the surface of the skin. In these cases, a specialized deep cleaning routine can control the appearance of new outbreaks.
