Why is the face skin worse than the rest of the body skin?

Hi, I’m no expert in dermatology, I’ve been thinking about my face skin for the last 20 minutes: why is all the bad skin on the face?
As children all the skin is fine but from puberty all the way through life, we face acne, black heads, dry skin, oily skin, redness… Pretty much all on the face. Maybe a little on the upper back. My knees’ skin is fine, my butt’s skin’s fine too.
Why is our face special?

To my knowledge, skin on the face produces way, way more oils than the skin of the rest of body. This can contribute to issues with pores.
