Many people thing acne is the result
of chocolates and many believe this to be happened with sex.
But both of these type people are wrong. These are just the
myths made by their own. This may be due to the fact that
some foods worsen the problem of acne but it does not mean
those food should not be eaten by other people who don’t have
acne problem.
The food rich in carbohydrates
can flare up acne. Our body needs more and more glucose for
the proper functioning of the cells, which may be caused with
the excess insulin in the body. With the growth of the testosterones
in higher quantity helps in encouraging acne. Various myths
about the causes of the acne with its treatment are:
• Acne problem from sexual activity:
Acne is not caused by any sexual activity. When the puberty
stage reaches in human‘s life, it experiences various hormonal
changes, which are the main cause of acne.
• Dirty skin is the main cause
of acne: Melanin pigment helps to bring the natural color
to your skin. It may look like dirt which makes you feel that
your skin is dirty, the reason of acne. Scrubbing your skin
daily may cause acne worse and can give irritation or itching
to your skin. Hence, for this purpose, the skin should be
washed with a mild cleanser or gentle soap in order to avoid
dryness to the skin.
• Cosmetics can harm acne:
It may be true to say that acne problems can’t be cured through
the cosmetics. Moreover, it worsens its effect due to the
oily and greasy substance cosmetics contain. But there are
so many items that are used to control the acne problem like
sunscreen lotions, foundations and moisturizers. So, we can’t
go through with this fact that cosmetic only harm the acne
but is boon too. However, non-acnegenic products can be used
for controlling acne.
• Acne is only for teenagers:
We can’t say this because you can have acne in any age group.
Many adult women complain about acne due to the hormonal imbalance,
which may affect the menstrual cycle. There are some drugs
that may lead to acne.
• Sunlight can help acne to
go: Sunlight is good for the skin because it dry out the
existing pimples but it can’t prevent the new acne from forming.
Excess sunlight exposure may cause sunburns, so it would be
better to use sunscreen with SPF 15 that will protect your
skin with great care.
• Foods may also aggravate acne:
There are some foods that contain oils and fats, which are
harmful for acne. But that doesn’t mean that every food can
make acne worse. However, it should be checked once, if you
get acne with any food and it goes off if you leave the food
for some time. That may be true to some extent.
However, there are other
myths too like acne can be caused by stress or it can be removed
if we squeeze them. But no acne can only be caused if you
have taken some pills that have side effects. Squeezing it
may leave a mark on the face. So, it is good to think before
taking any step regarding acne.
