Decoding Pimples
Ever gotten ready for a grand wedding and got disappointed due to that one pimple that ruins the entire makeup? The one thing that pops up every now and then, the uninvited guest of our skin, every girl’s nightmare – PIMPLES. God knows why they only appear when we have an important ceremony to attend. Hiding them with our hair strands is definitely a torture to most of the girls out there.
Acnes and pimples can be a bit tedious to differentiate. Acne is the disease and pimples are its symptoms. Acne affects skin follicles and oil glands. Our skin produces a natural oil called sebum. The pores in the skin are attached to the sebum-producing glands via a canal-like structure called follicle. Now when the dead cells and sebum start clumping, they clog the pores. This clogging leads to bacteria deposition and inflammation and causes the red bumps on our face, i.e., pimples.
