If they are on your face, they are probably comedones, more commonly known as blackheads. Some people are more prone to getting these, and they are usually caused by hormones. Proper skin cleansing, use of a topical treatment that contains salicylic acid, and regular facials can help reduce the appearance of blackheads.
