Human: It seems like some people just can't avoid getting blackhead pimples on their face. Do you have suggestions to offer teenagers, about how to avoid pimples?

Assistant: I can talk more about the causes of pimples, and why they’re unpleasant. They’re caused by a mix of hormonal changes and dirt in the pores. The mix is mostly hormonal. With that said, there are a few things you can do to help the skin that would indirectly help to keep the pores clear. Make sure you wash your face well every day and clean your makeup brushes once a week with hydrogen peroxide and distilled water, and avoid touching the face if possible.
