Acne Myths, Types, Products and Tools

MYTH 1: Food causes acne.
There is no irrefutable evidence that chocolate, pizza or, fried foods will cause acne. But fatty foods can stimulate hormones, causing breakouts for some. There is still testing being done on dairy products, due to high hormone levels and calcium content and foods high in iodine like seafood.

MYTH 2: Makeup Causes Acne.
It does when you don’t cleanse your skin thoroughly. Look for make-up products that are nonacnegenic or noncomedogenic.

MYTH 3: You Will “Grow Out Of” Acne.
Some people never do. Acne is a cosmetic disease that requires management. It may be controlled and minimized with a proper regimen.

MYTH 4: Only Teenagers get acne
Some people can be clear during their teenage years and develop acne after pregnancy, or menopause.
