all know what acne is and how bad it can be. It’s the world’s most
widespread skin condition. There are many myths about the acne and for
those of you who suffer from it; these little misconceptions can blossom
into a bigger skin problem. So here are some of the most common myths
about the acne.
Some foods can cause acne
No, that isn’t true. In fact, the dermatologists haven’t found any
substantial connection between acne and diet. That means that you don’t
have to restrain from your favorite foods like chocolate, French fries,
sugar and so on. Nevertheless, you should eat many fruits and vegetables.
They contain very important vitamins for the skin – such as Vitamin C.
Acne is only for the teenagers
That’s the most widespread myth. Unfortunately, acne can be caused
strike at any age. It is true that 90 % of the teenagers have acne, but
can also be seen in older people, especially in women with constantly
fluctuating hormones. Acne can start even at the age of 40, so you will
never know when it will exactly appear, or you can be lucky enough and you
will never have that skin problem.
No matter how old you are, it is very important to start treating
breakouts early. The best way to treat acne is to prevent it from
appearing in the first place.
The dirt is the main reason for acne
Yes but the dirt is not the only reason for the appearance of acne. A
number of factors – fluctuating hormones, over washing or stripping with
alcohol in an effort to clean your face skin, can cause it and even make
the acne worse.
Acne is only a cosmetic condition
No, acne can affect the way people look and feel about themselves, but
you should know that it is not dangerous for the physical health. Acne can
actually affect the way you feel about yourself, causing low self-esteem
and even depression. You should know that you are not the only person with
that problem, and that you don’t have to hide from the world around you.
Sun helps the acne
That’s the wrong myth about the acne. It’s true that a small amount of
sun exposure may initially improve acne, but the continuous sunbathing and
the solarium can increase plugging of the pores and that produces
comedones, blackheads, whiteheads and pimples.
You should know that acne could be prevented and controlled with
continued daily use of products, which contain acne-fighting ingredients.
You should not forget that you have to be diligent about your treatment
plan, even after your skin is clear.
