Skin Myth #1- Acne is caused by dirt and not cleaning skin enough
Nope! Acne is caused by either genetics, hormones or dead skin and oil that can build up and clog of all of those little hair follicles which in turn causes inflammation AND those stubborn pimples!
So if you are faced with acne DON’T over wash with abrasive products. Use gentle cleansers so your face doesn’t become raw and inflamed. Abrasive products and over scrubbing will also dry out your skin. Look for products that specifically say “Non-Comedogenic” (meaning they won't clog your pores) and use a mild cleanser in the morning and at night. Make sure you exfoliate regularly (DON’T overdue it!). If your acne is super wild please see a trusted dermatologist!
Lastly, as tempting as it can be to pop those suckers DON’T DO IT! This can not only spread the bacteria oil and debris causing more acne but it can also scar that pretty little face!!!!
