    My secret is water. And that’s it. :)

    You shouldn’t get acne as an adult I think, unless you eat the wrong food. I could be wrong about that, but for me it seems to work that way.

      I grow a pretty thick beard. Along with that comes a lot of face oil, which makes it soft and smooth.

      When I’m shaved, I still generate all that oil, which makes me break out hellishly.

      As a teen, I had acne all over my chin and cheeks that nothing seemed to work on.

      Acne is mainly genetic, and only somewhat affected by environmental factors.

      Mostly acne stems from people making too muxh oil/hair/skin cells, to the point that they then clog pours, causing inflamation. Using a quality cleanser will generally help, but mainly its a lottery that you dont have acne.

        I have to tell you, I almost never see anyone with acne. Is it common in America?

          I have acne on my face right now, I’m 32. I’m not, like, a pepperoni pizza but I had a few break out over the past week.

          I don’t drink soda, I eat healthy, I don’t work out as much as I should but I’m not unfit. Acne just happens to some people dude, that’s why Accutane is a very well known product.

          I don’t either, but I know people who have had it, and acne is treatable. Is this a(nother) healthcare thing that makes it more common in the US?

        Yeah, for me too. Cutting down on candy and drinking more water, and being outside sometimes is really good for the skin, and the eyes.
