Acne Myths: True Or False?
By IC
It is perfectly normal for teenagers to have a few pimples, blackheads and whiteheads due to their hormonal changes that take place somewhere between the age of 12 and 17. In order to treat properly we must first see what is true and what is false in all those myths people have about Acne.
Myth no.1: Getting a tan helps disappear.
Even though getting a tan temporarily masks signs it definitely does not help disappear for good. On the contrary, the face skin will only dry up and peel off in the affected areas by and sunburns can occur. Also, the risk of cancer is increased through excessive tanning.
If you have and follow and anti-Acne treatment you should avoid tanning as the drugs or creams you use generally create a hyper sensibility of the epidermal layers and you could get sunburns all over your skin. During the summer it is best to cover the affected areas of your body with oil-free cream that also has high UV filters and do not forget to use a summer hat and sunglasses.
Myth no.2: The more you wash your face the less manifests
Well, it is good to wash your face in order to remove make-up, dust and other impurities that gather on the skin during the day but you should not do it more than twice a day. Also, when washing your face dermatologists
recommend that you use non-alcoholic, soap-free cleansers with gently movements for avoiding skin irritation. Also, avoid scrubbing as it will only harm the skin that already suffers from Acne.
Myth no.3: Squeezing the pimples will make disappear
Even though after the squeezing procedure the pimple will temporarily look less visible the truth is germs will get into the skin from your hands or from inside the pimple and in a day or two the inflammation will be back and more pimples will appear in that skin zone. Plus, you can get scars that will disappear only in a few months or even last forever. If a zit appears in the day you have a date it’s best to cover it up with special products of make-up made for skin.
Myth no.4: If you have you must not use make-up products
This used to have been true 30 years ago. Nowadays the cosmetic companies have special make-up products for skin that are oil-free and to not clog up the pores. Some of them even contain substances that heal pimples, so fell free to use make-up products but do not forget to wash your skin before going to bed in order to remove any tracks of make up from your skin.
Myth no.5: Men that suffer of should not shave
This is partially true. If the pimple is red, painful and seems to have pus men should avoid that zone during shaving for a day or two in order to prevent the infection from spreading to other skin areas too. Otherwise, a sharp blade and a quality shaving gel can be used by a man that has Acne. PimpleBlog provides more information about acne treatments and the proper use of acne creams.
