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?

it’s genetic and different for everyone.

my face skin is fine, i get occasional blemishes in summer from rubbing in sun block. my lower back is much more prone to acne reactions from sweat and rubbing on garments during physical activity
