3 Acne Myths BUSTED!
Are you desperate to clear your acne but not sure what will work? It’s hard to find the “acne fix” when it feels like you have tried it all! Let’s see if we can at least rule out some things that might seem like a good idea at first but in the long run won’t actually clear your acne…
Myth #1 Antibiotics Help Clear Acne
While Antibiotics can help it is only a short term solution.
There are four causes to acne:
Clogged pores
Oil production
Bacterial growth
Inflammation
Antibiotics only control bacterial growth meaning they will help rid your body of bacteria, but can cause more harm than good.
Your body can build a resistance to these antibiotics and stop fighting against the acne causing bacteria.
A daily skin care regimen with high quality skin care products is a much safer route and will help in long term solutions.
Products are able to penetrate the pore to prevent dead skin cell build up, control oil production, and help fight against inflammatory triggers.
THIS IS WHY HOME SKIN CARE ROUTINES ARE SO IMPORTANT!
Myth #2 As Long as I Get a Facial/Peel Each Month My Skin Will Be Fine
FALSE!
Using products at home will prevent acne from forming.
Prevention is much easier than correction! If you are using products at home that have the ingredients to fight against acne it will keep your skin in good condition in between treatments.
Using products at home protects your skin against environmental damage which can cause acne and also play a HUGE role in skin aging.
While quality products might be pricey they are worth the money because they are effective.
Ask us what you should be using for your home skin care routine, products you pick up at a drug store are NOT going to effectively treat your acne or other skin concerns.
You are stuck with your skin forever so put the money into it!
Myth # 3 The Sun Can Help Clear My Acne
While the sun does dry your skin out it is only short lived.
Sunlight causes dryness and dehydration which leads to the overproduction of sebum causing more breakouts.
If you over expose your skin to the sun it can lead to scarring and dark spots which can be extremely hard to get rid of
Wear your SPF!!!!!
Be sure to do some digging before you believe those “acne facts”. If you’ve heard some other bizarre remedy for acne, ask your skincare provider to find out if it’s the truth!
