What did you do to deserve your pimple-prone skin?
The answer is simple—nothing. Breakouts are brought on by biological factors like genetics and hormones, which can put oil-producing glands in overdrive and cause dead cells and bacteria to build beneath the skin’s surface. So blame biology for breakouts; don’t blame those afternoon chocolate binges.
