Dirt, oil, sweat and stall make up tend to plug & block the pores. The pores are exposed to the dirt and air, hence they turn black and are called the blackheads. Owing to blackheads, the pores get blocked and oil glands get infected resulting to pimples. If the infection progresses, it ruptures the mechanism of oil glands and attacks the inner layer of the skin giving way to an acne prone condition.
