1. Bacteria is a common
cause to all types of
acne.
2. You are not alone! As
high as eighty percent of
people suffer from some type
of acne, and in any
age.
3. Are you aware
that there exists a number
of varieties of acne? There
are more than fifty types of
acne that have been
identified so far. But the
most commonly
occurring type of acne is
vulgaris.
4. Lots of people
strongly believe that the
sun improves their acne
condition; but the reality
is: ultraviolet rays
penetrating the skin's
surface could damage the
follicles, closing them off
and provoking acne to emerge
weeks after sun exposure.
5. It usually takes any
where from three to four
weeks for a pimple to
develop; thus, what you ate
yesterday will not affect
your skin today. More than
anything, your genes and
hormones are the central
root causes of acne.
6. Spot-treating of an acne
condition will not work.
The whole face and affected
areas should be treated in a
daily basis to prevent new
acne lesions from forming.
7. Acne cannot be cured. On
the other hand, it can be
effectively treated with a
proper acne treatment.
The earliest you start a
treatment program,
the quicker you will
experience better-looking
skin.
8. Most people generally do
not outgrow bouts of acne.
Like any other health
condition or disease, a case
of acne should be treated.
You must not ignore this
condition, if you want to
get rid of your acne
problem.
9. In reality, scrubbing
and over washing can worsen
your acne condition. Items
such as Buff Puffs, Loofah
sponges, strips applied to
your skin, and scrubs
containing particles, are
all irritating and
can aggravate your acne.
10. In order to wipe off all
of the oils created by your
body, you would
have to constantly wash your
face. Excessive
washing truly provokes the
body to make more oil
which then worsens acne.
11. Stress usually is not a
cause for acne; but it can
surely worsen it.
Stress could adversely
affect hormones, which may
consequently affect the
process of creating new acne
lesions.
12. For most people, diet is
not a contributing factor to
acne. Certain
foods can provoke flare-ups
of acne.
13. Dirt that clog the pores
do not cause acne breakouts.
Hormones that stimulate the
oil glands, plug the pores
by dead skin cells,
bacteria residing in the
pores which both break down
the oil and create
inflammation, are
contributing
factors for causing acne.
