What are pimples and why do we get them?

Pimples are, according to the dictionary, small and usually inflamed swelling or elevation of the skin; papule or pustule.
Pimples are actually buildups of bacteria beneath the skin. I won't go into detail, because it would take a while, but they are really just areas of the skin that are clogged with oils, sweat, dead skin cells, or certain products we use.

There are several ways you can get pimples:

1. Genes
If your parents had acne, you will. It's as simple as that. Most kids get acne as a preteen and teenager, and whether or not your acne will be a major problem is up to your genetic makeup.

2. Stress
Stress can actually lead to these pimples, because of all the buildups in your hormones.

3. Puberty
Of course, the dreaded becoming a teenager releases a lot of hormones that cause the body to go a little crazy, causing breakouts of pimples.

4. Makeup or Beauty Products
Clogging up your skin with these products can block pores, leading to buildups of oil and dirt in your skin, which, ultimately, leads to acne.

5. Uncleanliness
If your rarely wash you face, then it's pretty likely that dirt, oil, sweat, skin cells, and lots of other gross things will clog your pores and give you acne.
