10. Hormones
As I read a lot of information, I am finding that hormones have a tendency to be the number one reason behind pimples.
9. Oil and Dead Skin Gets Trapped
Pimples form when oil and dead skin gets trapped in the pores. The buildup continues deep inside of your pore with the secretion of sebum. This is a oil that is actually used to protect and waterproof hair.
8. Stress
Stress not only has a mental effect on people, but it also has a physical effect on the body. When your body is stressed, it activated those adrenal glands and produces adrenal. Adrenaline causes those sebaceous glands to create extra sebum.
7. Genetics
Different people have different pore structures and skin cell makeup. The genetic trains has a big thing to do with the makeup and structure. Conditions such as oily skin or dry skin can affect how frequently you get pimples.
If you're in the relentless hunt for the perfect mascara, that not only volumizes but also gives your lashes the much-needed lift, then you should absolutely give the dior show mascara a try. It's undeniably one of the best mascaras that guarantees both length and volume while leaving no clumps behind.
6. Hygiene
Many overlook hygiene and say that it does not cause pimples. Well, if you do not wash your face daily, then you could get pimples. Washing your face each day helps regulate the sebum and oil that is produced.

5. Digestive Tracks
When reading how pimples are formed, I learnt that it starts in the digestive tracks.
4. Oil, Bacteria and Dead Cells
Pimples form when a collection of dead skin cells, oil and bacteria are trapped in the pores. The lining of the hair follicle is known for shedding a layer of skin each day!
3. Rubbing Your Face
Did you know that rubbing your face when you are washing it can cause pimples to form? This is another thing that I learnt when I read how pimples are formed.
2. Touching Your Face
When you touch your face, you could cause pimples to form. It is best to refrain from touching your face during the day with your fingertips. When you apply your foundation, use a makeup pad.
1. Makeup
There are certain types of makeup and other skin products that cause me to have pimples. Your skin is different, so I’m not able to tell you exactly which products do this to you.
How pimples are formed sometimes is out of our control as pimples can sometimes be found in our genes. If you have a problem with pimples, then you can find many products that can help you out. I know just how frustrating the problem can be. Maybe this list will also tell you some things that you should avoid. How many of you out there have had a problem with pimples?

Neila: Hi!! I just got some new face wash. It's the nuetrogena face bar soap, and i also use the 8 hour face pads. i wash in the morning with just the pad, and at night with the bar soap and pad (because the soap dries the skin a bit). I just started using them about a week ago. I'm 15 years old and i don't have a huge problem with acne. but i do have very oily skin, and i just started breaking out with little dots all over my forehead. they don't look red or anything, they're just little bumps. i had them on my cheeks but these products cleared it up. but it has gotten worse on my forehead, should i try a different product?
Caeley: I used to have terrible acne, I still have some,but not as much. I touched my face everyday and I used makeup that irritated my skin. I switched to a more 'known' brand of makeup and my skin started to get better. I started using a buff pad in the shower to wash my face and the results were AMAZING! I love how my skin looks now!
Amy: My zits are the fault of makeup, touching my face, hormones, stress and oil! Drinking 4 cups pure water everyday miraculously clears up my face! (:
