We will go out and say; there is a lot of misleading and wrong information available about acne. Happily, scientific research has eliminated many of these 'acne myths'. Now we have a very good idea of what causes and does not cause acne. Let's take a look at seven of these legends.
True or False? Discover the truth about common bosses and their myths
Myth # 1: Acne is caused by eating certain foods:
This has been around for a long time but is not supported by scientific evidence. Although some people may appear to have diarrhea when they eat certain foods, there are no universal laws that apply to everyone. Eating pizza, chocolate, nuts, and fatty foods will not increase acne.
Acne Legends # 2: Acne is associated with impurities or impurities:
Although clean skin has other benefits, pollution does not cause acne. Acne builds up under the skin and is due to the formation of sebum and dead skin cells. It is not the dirt that clogs your follicles.
Acne Legends # 3: Washing your face regularly will get rid of acne:
This type is related to myth # 3. Having clean skin is not the answer to acne. Excessive use to the point of washing your face can actually make things worse. Exfoliating your skin with oil can lead to future rashes.
Acne Legends # 4: Only teens get acne:
It is true that 9 out of 10 young people get acne, but it is also true that about 1 in 4 adults gets it too. Acne seems to be linked to hormones that may explain why teens have a high rate of acne, but adults also experience hormonal changes at different times in their lives.
Acne Legends # 5: Depression causes acne:
Scientific evidence shows that depression is not a major cause of acne. It is believed that for many years depression causes acne but this is not the case.
Acne Legends # 6: Acne can be cured:
Many people consider acne to be a permanent cure. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Acne can be controlled and prevented by proper skin care, but it cannot be cured.
