Acne Myths

Hello Friends!

Let’s tackle some acne myths!

Eating chocolate and greasy food  - There is no research to back up this myth. There are some connections with eating dairy but not specifically chocolate.

Acne will go away on its own – Depending on the severity, you generally need to seek treatment to clear your acne. You don’t have to live with severe acne.

Dirt causes acne – Acne is not linked to dirt or bad hygiene. Actually, over washing can make acne worse.

Stress causes acne – Stress doesn’t cause acne but can make the acne breakouts worse.

Popping pimples makes them go away sooner – Really not true. Popping pimples leads to spreading bacteria on your face which can result in more breakouts and scarring.

Love and happiness,
