Other factors like hormonal changes, genetics, diet, and stress also contribute towards acne.
Congestion occurs when pores become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and debris, leading to a dull complexion and rough texture. In some cases, the skin is naturally congested and skin cells take longer to regenerate.
