FOR EXAMPLE WHEN ONE IS GRADUALLY APPROCHING TEENAGE LEVEL ONE’S SKIN IS BOUND TO CHANGE LOTS OF BREAKOUT,OILLNESS BECAUSE THE BODY IS GOING THROUGH SOME HORMANAL CHANGES AND THE SEBACEOUS GLAND PRODUCE MORE OIL THAN NORMAL,ALSO AS TIME GOES ON FOR SOME AFTER TENEGE LEVEL THEIR SKIN CHANGE AND SOME DONESN’T.
