Acne Free - Skin Care

Question: Why were people acne-free 100 years ago?

This question has been bothering me forever and I can't seem to find an answer, so I figured I would ask it myself. So, basically, what is the reason acne never used to even exist? I am thinking that if I knew this, I could use some of the old habits to help my acne. Plus I am just super curious about it! Is it because they had all their bread and food homemade? Not filled with chemicals? Because the air was not polluted? Thank you soooo much all answers are appreciated!

Acne is when you have an increase in spots and spots are only caused by dirt in the pores of the skin and it has been proven that they arent caused by crappy foods. It probably due to pollution and stuff we have know. More dirt is getting into your pores causing blackheads and spots and making your skin more oily. Its more about the dirt in the air than what we consume although im sure crappy foods don 't help the condition of the skin.

It has to do with the ingredients in processed foods that mainly young people eat.. candy, fast food, and all of those energy drinks too.. thats a top contributor to acne in teens but its mostly hormones
