Is it true that the oils from hair can cause acne?

Too much oil from the hair may clog pores and predispose to acne. There are certain oil types that may also increase chances of hair follicle inflammation. However at your age the balance of hormones are more likely to increase chances of having acne. Learn the preventive measures including use of acne products for facial cleansing and toning.
