The pores in your skin contain oil glands. When you hit puberty, there's an increase in sex hormones called androgens. The excess hormones cause your oil glands to become overactive, enlarge, and produce too much oil, or sebum. When there's too much sebum, the pores or hair follicles become blocked with skin cells.

Answer:

Hormonal changes

Step-by-step explanation:

Teens get acne because of the hormonal changes that come with puberty. If your parents had acne as teens, it's more likely that you will, too.
