What causes acne and how can it be prevented?

Acne is a skin condition caused by the overproduction of oil and the buildup of dead skin cells and bacteria in the pores. Hormonal changes, stress, certain medications or cosmetics, and genetics can all contribute to the development of acne. To prevent acne, it is important to maintain a regular cleansing routine, avoid touching the face, and use non-comedogenic skincare products. Eating a balanced diet and staying hydrated can also help prevent acne. In severe cases, seeing a dermatologist may be necessary for prescription medications or treatments.
