7 Acne Myths Demolished!
A lot of people believe that acne is caused by poor hygiene or poor diet.
In fact these are both myths.
Below are seven popular myths about acne.
Myth 1 - Acne is caused by a poor hygiene.
The truth is that washing too frequently and too aggressively can strip the skin of its natural lipids, damaging the skin's natural barrier function. In response, the follicle will produce excess sebum and possibly additional breakouts. So unless you get yourself dirty on regular basis (like a mechanic, perhaps), do not over-wash your face.
Myth 2 - Acne is caused by bad diet and foods. The common misconception is that eating junk food will lead to or worsen an acne condition. Scientific studies have shown that diet has little to no effect on acne. This varies depending on the person. While eating healthy and balanced diet is encouraged for our health, there is really no scientific evidence that connects certain foods to acne. If you are one of those who are affected by certain foods, it is always wise to avoid them.
Myth 3 - You can outgrow your acne. It is much more sensible to treat your acne immediately to avoid emotional stress and permanent scarring.
Myth 4 - Acne is just a little problem, no need to overreact. It is embarrassing to have acne, thus can affect our confidence and esteem. It may even affect our social relation and job performance.
Myth 5 - Acne is caused by using cosmetics. Heavy and oily make-up may contribute to acne build up. However, cosmetics labeled non-comedogenic or non-acnegenic might actually contain benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid that may help to fight acne.
Myth 6 - Stress can cause acne. It is true that too much stress may produce hormones that can aggravate acne; normal, everyday stress is not normally a cause of acne.
Myth 7 - A sun tan will clear up acne. A little sun exposure can be beneficial - it may dry out existing acne, but it will not prevent new ones from forming. Too much sun exposure may over dry the skin thus sebaceous glands will produce more oil that will ultimately worsen the condition. Too much sun exposure will also increase the risk of skin cancer and wrinkles.
