Okay, so, I have mild acne [i just asked a different question], but now i'm wondering, what really causes it all?
don't say genetics, because my ansestors would have to get it from something as well.
anyone know?

Oily and greasy food like junk food, fast food, pizza, soda, and all that stuff WILL cause acne. In some cases, when you get really small red bumps, it's usually because you're eating too much ketchup, hot sauce, pizza sauce or such so just lay off them. I've heard milk and dairy products can cause acne as well. Also the dirt and oil from your hair, hands, and just hte air around you and anything that touchs your face can cause acne. You should really wash you hands and hair everyday...face twice a day..don't touch your face, eat healthy foods and you should be fine

Oils on your face and dirt in your pores. You really shouldn't touch your face.When the dirt clogs your pores thats what happens. Hope i helped

Acne is caused by bacteria infecting the oil that is present on the face, which often gets plugged into pores. When this occurs, the skin forms a zit to trap the bacteria in and kill it.
On a personal reccomendation, I would not suggest Pro-active. It turned my mild acne into a beard zits. I can suggest a strong facial cleanser that exfoliates, as well as prescribed gels such as differen and clindagel.
If cleansers and gels do not work, you might consider asking a dermatologist about Accutane. I can certainly endorse it; I took it for 6 month period 3 years ago and have not broken out since. However, I only reccomend checking into it if nothing else works.
