Myth 1: Washing your face more often will help clear up acne

Reality: • Facial blemishes are not

caused by dirt. Contrary to what you may have seen in commercials, pores do not get blocked from the top down due to "impurities". Rather, the walls of a pore stick together deep within the skin, starting acne formation.

Myth 2: Stress causes acne

• Reality: • Stress may have an

effect on hormones and theoretically can promote your acne. However, an effective acne system is more powerful than a bout of stress any day.

Myth 2: Stress causes acne

• Some psychiatric medications may have acne as a side effect, but stress itself is no big deal. Your time is better spent determining the right course of acne treatment rather than feeling guilt about stress.

Myth 3: Masturbation or sex causes acne

• Reality: • This antiquated notion,

originating as early as the 17th century to dissuade young people from having premarital sex, is not based on scientific evidence. A more plausible explanation may be that higher levels of androgens (male sex hormones) can cause increased sex drive.

Myth 3: Masturbation or sex causes acne

• We also know that high levels of androgens can be related to more severe cases of acne. So it may be the higher androgen levels and not the associated increase in desire for sexual activity that is related to acne.

Myth 4: The sun will help get rid of acne

• Reality: • The sun may work in the short-

term to hasten the clearing of existing acne while reddening your skin, thus blending your skin tone with red acne marks. However, a sun burn is actually skin damage. It's important to prevent damage to your skin while trying to get rid of acne.

Myth 4: The sun will help get rid of acne• Sun exposure causes

irritation which can make acne worse. People will often notice their skin breaking out as it heals from sun damage. The sun is a short-term band-aid which will often bite back with more acne in the weeks following exposure. Having said that, I don't want to give the impression that the sun is evil. It is not.

Myth 5: Diet and Acne are related

• Reality: • The bottom line is we

need more research. We do know that people in some indigenous societies do not experience acne whatsoever across the entire population.

Myth 5: Diet and Acne are related

• This is in stark contrast to the widespread presence of acne throughout all modern society. It leaves us to ponder the question of whether the indigenous people's diet contributes to their acne-free skin.
