Acne is therefore often present in areas with a high concentration of sebaceous glands such as the face, chest and back.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eAcne is caused by a number of internal factors which include excess sebum production, hyperkeratinisation (when keratin blocks dead skin cells from natural shedding), bacteria and androgens (hormones). The outer layer of your skin contains a hard protective protein called keratin. When this keratin unnaturally ‘blocks’ the sebaceous gland the over production of sebum plugs the sebaceous duct. This subsequently produces inflammation and is a breeding ground for bacteria.Because the formation of acne also involves hormones, mostly androgens, this condition is often seen as a problem of youth. However acne can occur at any age and in some cases adults may have their first case of acne well into their 20s or 30s.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAcne is characterised by comedones or ‘blackheads’, papules, pustules and in severe cases, cysts and scarring.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eSevere cases of acne are often treated with systemic medications which can have undesirable side effects. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNumerous topical applications which claim to clear or reduce Acne are on the market.

I have been stealing my wife’s masks for over 10 years now. Over the years, she’s tried many well-known, premium brands, but I can honestly say that none of them make me say “omg, I’m 21 again” when I look in the mirror like this one.
This clay mask has earned its place as the anchor of my Saturday morning routine.
Thank you so much!! Love that you share (steal) your wife's products and so grateful for you taking the time to review it. So pleased it has become a favourite :)

Salon-quality product at home
This was the first Awe product I purchased, on the recommendation of my ayurvedic practitioner.
It feels like it removes 5 layers of ama every time I use it! It's great to blend with the hydrating mask too. A great weekly home treat
Thank you! Glad it has been beneficial for you. I love mixing it with the Hydrating mask as well :)
