That is why we have written this article. We'd like to help spread the word about how to fight acne effectively-starting with taking down the most common misconceptions about it. So, if you're ready, then, read on.
Misconception #1: Chocolates and Nuts Cause Acne
Up until 10 years ago, the belief that chocolates and nuts cause acne was still prevalent. The belief still persists until today, however, in a number of people. The argument is that these foods are fatty and oily, which can drive our oil glands haywire and so cause acne. However, numerous studies have already debunked this belief.
The truth is that foods rich in carbohydrates are more likely to cause acne in people. That is why we recommend that you minimize your intake of these foods if you don't want to have acne. Better yet, have a healthy diet overall and you'll be just fine, not only from acne, but from a host of other ailments.
Misconception #2: You Need Expensive Products vs. Acne
The cosmetics industry is built upon expensive anti- acne solutions, which is why manufacturers of these products will naturally push for what they're selling. However, you don't actually need expensive anti-acne products if you're only suffering from mild acne. Usually, washing your face with tap water twice a day will suit you just fine. There are, of course, other anti-acne products that you can find at home such as egg and toothpaste. They're cheap and they're easily available-and they work well against your pimples.
Misconception #3: Only Teenagers Have Acne
Remember when you were in your teens? Remember how much you wanted to become an adult to be rid of your acne once and for all? But once you reach adulthood, the reality hits you in the face: you can still have acne even at this stage. Women are more prone to having acne as adults because of their hormonal imbalances. But the good thing is that there are solutions around this such as taking the pill, or taking a holistic approach towards one's acne problems.
There are tons more of misconceptions about acne that continue to be propagated by a lot of people. It's not their intention, of course, to mislead people, only that they're misinformed. That's why we hope that the ones we shared with you in this article will shed some light on the truth behind some of the things that others misunderstand about acne. And with this information, we hope that we have helped you to be acne-free for good!
