Acne Myths
There are many myths floating around about acne. Why talk about acne myths first? Well in order to have get rid of acne you need to have a good acne treatment plan. If you want to develop a good plan for you acne health, then it’s important to have the right knowledge, and not have any misinformation guiding your acne treatment the wrong way.
Myth 1: Poor Hygiene Causes Acne
Acne is actually a problem usually caused by hormones, and not related to oil and dirt on your skin. In fact washing your face too often can have the opposite effect, and make your acne worse. What happens is when you wash your face you strip away the oils from your skin, so your body needs to overcompensate and produces more oil, making your skin worse.
So how often should you wash your face? Well twice a day with a mild facewash is best.
Myth 2: Acne will go away in time
Well this might be true depending on the cause of the acne, but it also might not happen. Either way acne can be treated, so why have bad skin if you don’t have to? For mild acne, acne products usually help. But if your acne is more serious, you should go see your doctor, because it definitely can be cured!
Myth 3: Teenagers get acne
Well its true that a lot of teenagers get acne when they go through puberty, because of all the changes in their hormones. But anyone can get acne at any age, as there are many other factors except changing hormones that can also affect someone’s skin.
Myth 4: The sun helps get rid of acne
This has a similar effect to over-washing your face. Because the heat increases the sweat and oil glands production, it can make your skin worse.
Also sunrays can react in a different way with the blemished skin to the rest of your skin. This can create a situation where even after the pimple has gone, you have darker spots around where the pimple used to be (and this still looks bad).
Myth 5: What you eat causes Acne
Well this isn’t fully a myth – you are what you eat. There are lots of arguments between medical professionals about this, with some thinking that food does cause acne, while others disagree.
Well you shouldn’t have a problem if you keep a general healthy diet and eat what is good for you (you should be doing this anyway). Although there is currently no proof that certain foods cause acne, if you think your pimples look worse after eating chocolate (or something else), then you might as well avoid it.
Acne can be treated, and now that you know some of the things that don’t cause acne, you will be able to focus more on what will help with your acne, to help cure your acne faster.
