I believe that fat is actually one of the main causes.

But I thought grease clogging the pores on your face caused them (which is why teenages get them because they sweat more and stuff)?

There are seven main factors behind an outbreak of facial or body acne/spots.

1.Genetics. If your mum or dad had acne as a teenager, there's a good chance you will too.

2. Hormones. During adolescence, hormones called androgens become active and stimulate oil glands in your skin, increasing oil production. This, in turn, clogs pores, causing pimples and blackheads. Hormonal changes that occur during your period or when you start or stop taking birth control pills can also cause an acne flare-up. In some cases, however, certain birth control pills are prescribed as a treatment for acne.

3. Stress. Although stress doesn't actually cause acne, it will potentially aggravate this or any other skin condition you may have. Diet. Dermatologists aren't sure whether or not what we eat plays a critical role in acne. Some experts do believe, however, that food allergies can trigger acne outbreaks.

4. Washing your face too often. This can aggravate the skin, causing acne to occur.

5. Using greasy skin care products and oily cosmetics. Any product that clogs oil ducts may cause acne.
