Ugh, another pimple!

Acne is a condition of the skin that shows up as different types of bumps. These bumps can be blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, or cysts. Teens get acne because of the hormonal changes that come with puberty. If your parents had acne as teens, it’s more likely that you will, too. The good news is that for most people, acne goes away almost completely by the time they are out of their teens, but if you are too desperate to get rid of them, these are some face masks you can create in the comfort of your own home.
