1.
You can dry out your skin to cure acne. Nope. That will actually
encourage and foster breakouts and inhibit skin's ability to combat
acne. Absorbing excess oil is much different than drying out skin with
acrid ingredients.
2. Dirty skin=ACNE . This
blunder can lead to over-scrubbing or over-cleansing skin with harsh and
abrasive soaps and exfoliants, which will only aggravate skin and lead
to an increase in oil production.
3. Spot
treatments are better than full face treatments. Possibly for those who
rarely break out, but treating the whole face will help tackle breakouts
that are not visible yet. Salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide will
reduce swelling and redness of existing spots, but be mindful to treat
the whole shebang.
4. If it stings it must be
working ! Not usually. Research shows that useless ingredients don't
work, but actually makes skin aggravated and acne worse.
5.
Pass on the See's candy and French Fries.....it will give you pimples.
Research shows that foods rich in chocolate, grease or fat are not
catalysts for acne for most people. But foods high in refined sugars
(often chocolate rich foods) may spike one's insulin, which is linked to
acne. Try passing on the See's for a few weeks and see if it helps.
6.
Scrub-a-dub those blackheads away. Sorry, as stated earlier gentler is
better. A clean white wash cloth and a cleanser that targets acne will
do !
