Dark pimples, whiteheads, blackheads, redness, inflammation and painful irritation are typical indications of acne prone skin. Hair follicles can be blocked by excessive amounts of sebum oil. Normally sebum facilitates the removal of the dead cells from the inner lining of the hair follicles by carrying them towards the external surface of skin.
