I can't answer about culture or lifestyle (which by that I assume you mean diet and physical activity), but I can at least add to the discussion. I found this neat little article from the 50s the NCBI was hosting on the origin of the term Acne. Link here.

It seems the term, or at least the condition of Acne vulgaris, was recognized and tied with puberty to at least the ancient Greek and Romans, and possibly to the Egyptions in the BCE era. Galen of Greece, whom I am assuming is the doctor, recommended honey for softer boils and lesions and soaps for the harder nodules. The paper also discusses how rosacea may have been possibly confused with acne. I'm going to apologize as I am tired, but it seems the two have been intertwined as far as confusion by translation and medical knowledge in the period. The paper continues on to later European medical knowledge and the confusion and further elucidation of the condition.

Since your question is geography-neutral, I can provide you with the answer pertaining to the ancient Indian scenario thousands of years ago. The short answer is: Yes, acne was common in teenagers thousands of years ago.

As another post explains, there are hormonal reasons for the development of this condition around puberty; and these have remained a constant factor in the human species over these millennia.

The paragraph headlined 'Cure for pimples' answers your query. While it quotes texts from the 1st to 5th century AD, these are part of an oral tradition that has developed much earlier, perhaps several millennia earlier. Incidentally, acne is termed in Sanskrit and the Indian languages as the 'malady of puberty'.

This is a question that can best be answered in /r/science and only supplemented by archaeology or historical texts. Since acne is believed to be biochemical in nature one would have to ask "has the biochemical situation changed?" The primary instigator of acne is believed to be hormones that flood the body during puberty. This has not changed for much longer than written history given that genetically speaking we are virtually the same as we were many thousands of years ago. There are cultural things that can modify acne that we know of such as diet and grooming habits (because they change the biological landscape on the skin) but any historical answer would absolutely need to be framed under the biological understanding.

So while I understand that this was asked in the askhistorians subreddit, to draw an analogy, this is like asking historians how long blond hair has been a trait. While one can give the first accounts of when blond hair was written about or even found in the remains of bodies uncovered (and carbon dated) but genetic mapping and extrapolation is truly the domain where this question is best answered.

So to summarize, take any answer given here with a very large grain of salt because it is almost 100% likely to not be correct if it stays strictly within historical records.

Could I add, how was vanity perceived before mirrors, specially among the lower classes without dressers ?
