Uncovering Acne Myths

Uncovering Acne Myths

Acne is a skin disorder that affects millions of people. Many people seek help for this ailment by seeking help through friends, and school mates that are also suffering from acne. Because there is so much casual talk about what causes acne and how to treat acne best, many times we find that we have received misinformation. Here are some common myths that are incorrect.

Eating Chocolate Causes Pimples

Recent research has shown that eating chocolate or any other food does not cause pimples. Doctors however recommend that people with skin disorders do eat a healthy balanced diet in order to gain important vitamins and minerals that they may be deficient in.

Clean your face as often as possible.

This myth can actually make your acne worse. Clean your face twice a day. Never scrub your face, because you will only irritate your face and will be wiping all over your face bacteria and oil that can cause more breakouts. If during the day you get oil or dirt on your face, wash


your face gently with warm water and pat dry.

Tanning is good for acne

The sun can actually hurt your face, not to mention that many acne products are sensitive to the sun. You can do lots of damage to your face if you stay in the sun for a long period of time with an acne product on your face. A good tan might cover up your acne temporarily, but it will irritate your skin and take your face much longer to heal.

So if you find that you are hearing too many inconsistencies about the treatment of acne, consult your dermatologist or pharmacist for the correct answers.
