TOP THREE MYTHS ABOUT ACNE

Think you’re past that awkward, acne-ridden stage you had as a teen? Think again. The fact is, pimples happen when our body produces excess sebum, the natural oils of the skin, which can clog our pores. Add dead skin cells in the mix, and you get a whitehead, which could turn into a blackhead, which then becomes a pimple (thanks, Mother Nature!)


Everyday occurrences can cause acne…from your daily commute to work (pollution, dirt, and oil can clog your pores), to your sleeping habits (turning in before taking off your makeup? You’re clogging your pores, thus asking for a massive breakout!).

Let’s go on to debunk the top three acne myths you most probably still believe in.

Some doctors believe that a high fat, high sugar diet can cause an increase in sebum production—coupled with the fact that eating too much greasy, fatty foods can displace other nutrients that are critical for healthy skin.

When taken in small amounts, dark chocolate may be good for the skin, because it contains flavonoids called catechin and procyanidin, which act as antioxidants. These antioxidants prevent free radicals from breaking down healthy skin cells.

Any more and you can irritate and dry out your skin.
What’s more, excessive washing strips your skin of oil—prompting your sebum glands to work overtime to compensate for the lack of moisture. 

Excess sebum = higher chances of acne.
