Acne is such a common affection that almost everyone, teenagers and adults, talk about it these days. The problem with the topics of such a general interest is that
everyone easily promotes ideas with little foundation, causing lots of worries and uncertainties to those who listen to them. This is how myths show up and, when it
comes to acne causes or acne treatments, you can be sure that they are way more spread than you would have
imagined.
Our favorite acne myth is the one saying that a severe hygiene should help you prevent new pimples to show up. Some poor informed people believe that if they wash their
skin more often than before, they have fewer chances for their acne to get worse. In fact, it can be exactly the opposite situation, as wash and soap will clear the natural
oil of the skin and force it to produce even more sebum, which we all know is a bad thing.
But then comes another one, related with what we eat and drink. Certain foods are supposed to cause acne when they
can only create the conditions for your genetic predisposition to manifest. Actually there is no food to make you acne, but only foods and food allergies that can cause you
skin problems. And speaking of what we drink, be aware that lots of water will not necessarily hydrate your cells, but it could make you get seriously ill when diluting the
sodium from your body.
And acne related myths can become even more amusing, especially when we get to a painful issue, like the one of a regular sex life. Some are truly convinced that not having
enough sex or having too much of it can cause them acne. What would you say if you were to find out that no reliable evidence was found to sustain this theory and that, so far,
scientists agree that the hormones produced during sex have nothing to do with acne?
Under such circumstances, this myth is more likely a thought of someone who is too busy
with thinking about acne and sex instead of finding someone to get laid with. And one more thought, the stress and the worries that you might have acne can actually trigger
the affection, so focus on something else.
Finally yet importantly, one myth that seems totally irresponsible says that acne should be allowed to follow its course and then it will cure with no treatment. This is
quite a crazy thing, since often it is not just a hormonal cause, but also a genetic one or a very serious internal imbalance. And speaking of not using
acne cures , keep in mind that squeezing pimples should be totally forbidden – not a treatment and nor something safe.
The thing is that such naïve theories, as useless or just amusing as they might be, need to be promoted so that people to learn how to make the difference between
them and reality. Being properly informed is the first thing that anyone interested in acne skin care should do, try to be less gull on any novelty about acne that you hear.
