I have occasional acne and my face is usually dry despite my best efforts meanwhile the skin all over the rest of my body is smooth and almost never dry with minimal efforts. Im sure if I used my body wash and body lotion on my face, it would result in breakouts. Why is there such a big difference?
In: Biology
Facial skin, called the stratum corneum, is one of the thinnest layers of skin on the body that receives the most UV rays as well as having the fewest skin cells on the body (besides the genitalia) but more than all of this the stratum corneum contains the highest amount sabaceuos glands on the body. Sabaceuos glands are responsible for producing sebum (oil) in the skin, with excess production of sebum acne occurs.
