Solution

Adolescence:

  1. Adolescence is the period of life between childhood and adulthood, lasting from the age of 10 to 19.
  2. It is an important time in human development that lays the foundation for long-term health.
  3. Teenagers experience rapid growth in all areas of their development—physical, mental, and emotional.
  4. Sweat glands and sebaceous glands produce more secretions after puberty.
  5. Salma's face developed pimples as a result of an increase in sweat and sebaceous gland discharge.
  6. She was therefore instructed to routinely wash her face with clean water in order to get rid of pimples.
