Myth vs Fact about Acne 🤓
1. Acne isn’t a result of poor hygiene. It’s caused by internal factors like hormones, excess oil, clogged pores, and inflammation. Washing too aggressively can actually irritate the skin and worsen breakouts.
2. Acne is not limited to adolescence. Many adults experience breakouts due to hormonal fluctuations, stress, or other triggers later in life.
3. Popping pimples can worsen acne by spreading bacteria, causing more inflammation, and increasing the risk of marks and scars.
4. The sun doesn’t heal acne. It can dry pimples temporarily, but UV rays increase oil production, clog pores, and trigger inflammation. Over time, sun exposure worsens breakouts, leads to pigmentation, premature aging, and raises the risk of skin cancer.
5. Makeup doesn’t make acne worse when used correctly. Choosing non-comedogenic products and removing them properly helps keep pores clear and skin healthy, so makeup can be worn without aggravating breakouts.
