Oil, dirt and bacteria is almost always present, and this is what causes a problem. How? When these are mixed with dead skin cells your pores become clogged and this results in your pores becoming infected.
All this results in acne, so invariably it is a reaction. When the pored become clogged and congested pimples form. Bacteria helps to spread the infection and you have a breakout.

Excess oil is secreted from the body through sweat, which is why sweat has an odor. Acne results if this process is blocked, so if you want to control acne you have to keep pores unclogged and remove dead skin cells and dirt.
