MYTHS ABOUT ACNE
Acne is caused by poor hygiene.
False — it has nothing to do with hygiene because acne is not caused by dirt. Therefore, washing your face more than twice a day will not make it go away, but will only aggravate the acne more. Sweating also does not cause acne. It can agitate existing acne but it will not cause more. Sweat glands are separate from the sebaceous gland that causes acne.
Acne is caused by greasy foods and sweets.
False — according to research, there has been no link between the food you eat and acne. The only link that has been found is with dairy products. Taking in too much skim milk, yogurt or cheese has been found to cause acne.
Acne is caused by stress and lack of sleep.
True — lack of sleep can cause stress, which has an affect on hormone production, thus causing acne to form. But, stress is not a main cause of acne.
Smoking can cause acne.
False — but it is not good for your skin or any other organ in your body.
Acne is for teenagers.
False — you can have acne at any age. Women are more prone to having acne in later years because of fluctuating hormones.
Acne is caused by facial hair.
False — growing a beard will not cause acne, although shaving may irritate the skin.
Sun reduces acne.
False — small amounts of sun can help, but over time it can increase the clogging of pores.
