The answer is complex. Myriad factors \u2014 including genetics, environment, stress levels, hormonal changes, medical conditions and diet \u2014 can lead to blemishes at any stage in life. Some of these triggers can send sebaceous glands, the tiny organs that lubricate your skin with oil, into overdrive, clogging your pores. That buildup of oil and dead skin can then become a breeding ground for acne-causing bacteria. While some variables aren\u2019t always in our control, the best defense against adult acne is a consistent, strategic skin care routine.
