6 Myths About Acne Revealed
One of the main reasons why people have a hard time to get rid of acne is because they have no idea what tru ly is causing their acne. How can you get rid of acne wihtout knowing if something is a myth or really based on the truth? So for this reason I have decided to put together a list of 6myths about acne and revealed the truth about them to you. Check it out...
Myth: Can masturbation or sex cause you to get acne?
Reality: This myth about acne comes mostly from the early 1700th century when this myth was used to keep young people from having sex at a younger age. So in that sence it's not based on truth at all. Though higher level of Androgens (male sex hormones) can cause higher sex drive... and one thing that has been proven is that higher level of Androgens can cause your skin to produce more oil, which can cause you to get more acne. But sex itself can not give you acne.
Myth: The more you wash your face the less acne you'll get.
Reality: This myth is easy to crack. You see washing your face is a must in order to get rid of acne. That everyone can understand... But if you start doing it more often, your skin will start to dry very quickly. Now the reason why this is a bad thing is because it irritates your skin, makes it look worse and also it causes your skin to produce more oil. And that my friend is something that will cause you to get more acne. So the best way to fight this is simply to wash your face with a warm cloth, gently about twice a day.
Myth: If you don't want acne... don't use makeup.
Reality: This one is based on both truth and lies. You see there are makeups out there that will seriously increase the amount of acne you get. But then again there are some that have no effect at all and some that even improve your acne condition. So the thing to do here is just to make sure you use makeup with labels like: "noncomedogenic" or "nonacnegenic". These are the ones that will help clear your acne. The best way to find out which makeup you should use though is just to try some of them out and see which ones work for you.
P.S Oily makeup will often you people acne.
Myth: Acne can only be cured naturally.
Reality: This myth about acne is not based on truth at all. There are plenty of medications out there that can truly help you to fight your acne. And in some cases it's the only way to truly beat your acne. You see there are antibiotics that work for truly severe cases of acne (this can take time though). Then there's Benzoyl Peroxide which works very quickly since it kills the bacteria in your skin that is causing the inflammation of your pores. Also one which might work for you is Salicylic Acid. It slows down the oil production in your skin and therefore reduces your acne. So this myth is busted.
Myth: Suffering from acne can't lead to other diseases and is only a cosmetical issue.
Reality: There are many people who are scared that they might have some serious disease just because they're suffering from acne. Well I can tell you that you won't have to worry about that. But what you do have to worry about is depression and stress. You see a lot of people get very stressed or fall into depression because of their appearence. And we all know that both stress and depression can lead to very serious diseases in the world.
Myth: Does working out really help me get rid of my acne?
Reality: Yes it does. Working out is actually a great natural way to treat acne. You see when you work out you relieve stress which is good because it slows down your oil production. And also when you sweat, the sweat will clear your pores from dirt and dead skin cells on the way up to the surface. And once it's on the surface it's easy to wash off. That's two reasons already for working out in order to get rid of acne.
