Let’s clear up some common myths about acne – and maybe even your skin in the process! Myth #1: “Acne is caused by poor hygiene.” If you believe this myth, by washing your skin vigorously and frequently, you can actually make your acne worse. The best approach to hygiene and acne is to gently wash your face twice a day, pat dry and use the appropriate products recommended by your Aesthetician. Myth #2: “Acne is caused by diet.” Extensive scientific studies have not found a connection between diet and acne. In other words, food does not cause acne. Not chocolate, french fries or pizza. Myth #3: “Acne is caused by stress.” The ordinary stress of day-to-day living is not an important factor in acne. Myth #4: “Acne is just a cosmetic disease.” Yes, acne does affect the way people look and is not otherwise a serious threat to a person’s physical health. However, acne can result in permanent physical scars and our self-esteem. Myth #5: “You just have to let acne run its course.” The truth is acne can be cleared up. With the products available today, there is no reason why someone has to endure acne or get acne scars. |
