1. Eating Junk Food can Cause Acne
This is quite a debatable subject,
as it turns out there is actually no evidence that proves that what you eat is
the cause of acne. What causes acne is bacteria, stress, hormones and skin oil.
This doesn’t mean that eating oily foods will give you acne either, because the
oil that causes acne comes from inside your body. However, eating bad foods can
have an effect on your overall stress levels, hormones and blood sugar, which
can lead to acne. Our recommendation? Try to cut out sugars and junk food and
your body and skin will thank you!
2. Popping pimples can make them go
away
Popping pimples doesn’t help make
them go away! When you pop pimples it can push bacteria back into the skin
making the pimple grow back even bigger! Popping pimples can also lead to
scars, so hands off the next pimple.
3. Acne only happens to people in
their adolescence
There is no magical formula that makes acne suddenly vanish when you become an adult! Some adults get very serious acne due to hormonal imbalance or certain disorders and have to go on medication or special skin care products to treat it effectively. Having acne as an adult or teen can give people emotional problems as well as confidence issues.
4. Dirt causes acne
Nope, it actually doesn’t. Acne is
caused mainly by bacteria and oil. While dirt is well, dirty, that
doesn’t mean it’s full of acne-causing bacteria. Some people who scrub their
faces more than twice a day can actually cause more pimples to appear because
they’re drying their skin out. If you’re scrubbing your face you must do it
gently and with warm water to open up your pores and remove excess oil and
bacteria.
5. Sunlight can cure acne
Sunlight doesn’t benefit acne at
all, it can only hide it when your face reddens or tans. Too much sun can make
your skin tighten and cause irritation, not to mention lead to discolouration
and spotting. And after summer is gone, your tan will fade and the acne will be
back!
