It also acts as the majorly responsible body part for respiration. As a result, it needs a great deal of care and protection. Many skin issues can occur throughout puberty due to internal component imbalances and hormone imbalances. The most prevalent skin condition is acne. The most commonly afflicted areas are the face and neck. The removal of oil from the face is a preventative measure. This will need proper cleaning and washing. Antibiotic gels and anti-acne washes or masks containing synthetic medicines are presently available on the market. Unfortunately, in addition to treating illnesses and killing infections, these medicines may have adverse effects. Various studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of herbal-based compositions for cleansing and oil removal.
