It's ! ❤️ Let's bust some acne myths to help guide you through your skin journey!
👉 While keeping your skin clean is essential, acne is not solely caused by poor hygiene. Acne develops primarily due to a combination of factors, including excess oil production, clogged pores, bacteria, and hormonal fluctuations.
👉 Acne can affect people of all ages, not just teenagers. Many adults also experience acne, and it can persist into your 30s, 40s, and even beyond.
👉 Squeezing or picking at pimples can actually worsen acne by spreading bacteria, causing inflammation, and potentially leading to scarring. It's best to resist the urge to pop pimples and instead use proper acne treatments.
👉 Sun exposure may temporarily improve the appearance of acne by drying out the skin and causing a tan, but it can worsen acne in the long run. UV rays can damage the skin, increase inflammation, and lead to more breakouts.
👉 Acne is not contagious and cannot be spread through physical contact or sharing personal items.
