No More Acne? A Few Myths Uncovered!

Let's cut right to the chase; there are real reasons why you have acne and there are myths which have no more reason to cause acne than it is because you live in a certain state and that's why you have it. Let's get right to it, because you want no more acne. We're here to help!

Myth! Acne is a disease. It's because you don't shower enough.

Fact - Acne has nothing to do with being clean. Of course you should shower but whether you do or not, that is not related to the acne on your face and body.

Myth! Go to a tanning salon. It will get rid of your acne.

Fact - Not only will a tanning bed not get rid of your acne, it may dry out, irritate and burn your skin and make it worse than it already is. Also, tanning like this has become associated with all kinds of skin cancers. I know you hate this condition, but this is not the way to have no more acne.

Myth! Popping pimples will cause them to go away and never come back.

Fact - This is the biggest myth yet! Squeezing zits not only doesn't make them go away, it will cause them to stay around longer. Popping pimples pushes the bacteria deeper into your skin setting up a perfect situation for a scar. If you want to cover them up for a special occasion, use makeup for a temporary solution. And speaking of makeup -

Myth! You cannot wear makeup or cosmetics when you have acne.

Fact - This is so far from the truth. You can wear all the makeup that you want. Just make sure it's the right kind if you want to have acne no more. Just use the cosmetics labeled noncomedogenic or nonacnegenic and your makeup will not cause breakouts.

Myth! Sugar, fast food and fried foods directly cause acne.

Fact - This is by far the largest myth around acne. But wait, not so fast. These foods may not directly cause acne, but indirectly they can by robbing vitamins from the body which are used to clearing your skin. What you should do is to eat fresh fruits and vegetables and lots of fiber in your diet. Then you will have all the fuel your body will need to fight the bacteria and you will have acne no more.
