Most Common Acne Myth You Should Know!

Acne is an annoying fact of life for more than 85% of all people. Treatments are becoming more effective every day, and new studies are helping aid the development of new therapies. Since acne is such a widespread skin condition, educating yourself on the subject can’t hurt, whether it’s you suffering or friends and family. Statistics show that even if you aren’t affected, there is an almost certain chance that you know someone who is. Read on common acne myths.

1.Myth: Acne heals itself.

This myth coincides with another that acne only occurs in teenagers. Any age can develop acne, and it is important to seek treatment since leaving it on its own can often cause it to worsen.

2. Myth: Popping pimples is fine.

Acne symptoms, such as the type of blemish, can be difficult to properly identify by non-skincare professionals. Popping pimples greatly increases the chances of irritation and scarring. It is recommended to see an aesthetician or dermatologist to handle treatments, such as extractions.

3. Myth: Avoid eating greasy foods.

Consuming oil-rich food, such as fried food, does not worsen acne symptoms. However, introducing additional oil to the surface of the skin can exacerbate acne. If you work in an environment that exposes you to oil, such as a professional kitchen, there is a chance that the excess oil can clog pores and follicles.

4. Myth: Acne only happens to dirty skin.

Stress levels, hormonal imbalances, and genetic factors play a role in acne. Although it is important to cleanse, exfoliate, and tone skin to remove impurities, it is not the only contributing issue.

5. Myth: Only teens get acne.

Acne is the most common skin disease. People of all races and ages get acne. 30% of adults, both men and women, experience acne. Although 85% of teens get some form of acne, they aren’t the only ones who can suffer from it.

6. Myth: You need to wash your face more to get rid acne.

Washing your face more often won’t cure your acne. Try to wash your face twice a day, but more than twice daily may do more harm than good. Washing your face is helpful to decrease the bacteria, but you shouldn’t overdo it.

7. Myth: The sun and tanning beds clear up acne.

Although it may feel like it’s drying your skin, the sun is not helpful in healing acne. The sun can inflame and dry your skin which causes your skin to produce more oil, ultimately making it worse.

8. Myth: Toothpaste can clear a pimple.

Toothpaste and other household items are not safe on your skin. The fluorides in toothpaste can even worsen acne. Opt for a spot treatment instead that contains salicylic acid. Your skin will thank you in the long run.

9. Myth: Acne only affects people with oily skin.

People with all different skin types suffer from acne. All skin types can develop whiteheads, blackheads, and pimples.

10. Myth: Acne will go away, so you don’t need to treat it.

Acne is chronic, meaning it can last a long time. It’s a condition which means it exists on your skin beneath the surface. You should always be concerned with managing your acne, and we can help.
