We list all of our topics as we post them to the right hand side in categories. If you see a topic that you are interested in, just click on the link and you will be able to read that information.
To begin, we would like to introduce you to what we call, Acne 101.
Everybody gets it; everybody hates it. It is the bane of a person’s existence. And once you have it, prepare to be tormented, embarrassed and humiliated. Such a small blot, so much at stake. So what is this outrageous little bundle ? What else but the dreaded pimple!
A pimple, or acne as some people call it, is a dreaded red, swollen bump in the skin . Nobody is spared from having it. Male or female, American, Chinese or Spanish, they all have gotten it at some points of their lives and may even still have it. It is like a universal blight; it is like a right of passage in a person’s life. Acne is a result of the hormones action on the skin's sebaceous glands (the oil glands) which leads to clogged pores and outbreak of lesions like pimples, blemishes or acne. Acne commonly occurs in the face, back, neck, shoulders and chest because the sebaceous glands are most abundant in these locations. But the important question we should be asking to be able to avoid this dreaded “disease” is, “What causes this pain in the neck called acne?”
The root causes of acne cannot really be determined unfortunately, (unless your parents or their parents are acne afflicted too then there’s a big, big chance you’ll be called acne face by your peers and classmates) thus the acne myths are born! These myths claim to be the cause of acne. We shall outline them here.
Acne Myth Number 1
Acne is caused by not washing your face often and not scrubbing it hard enough. Many believed that acne is caused by dirt and dust in the face and by washing your face two-three even four or more times a day or even that scrubbing your face hard can prevent acne. Wrong, very wrong, really wrong! It is true that dirt and dust is unsightly to the face and washing the face is the way to eradicate them but washing often can actually irritate the skin more. Washing should not be done more than twice a day. More than twice is enough to strip the face of its natural oils making it dry. Also, be advised, scrubbing can cause inflammations. Washing the face should be done as gently as possible with the gentlest facial scrub.
Acne Myth Number 2
Improper Diet can cause acne. Certain foods that are oily like French fries and junk food can cause acne to erupt in our face. But scientific studies have not discovered any connection between these two. So this means that it is not food that causes acne. Though a proper and healthy diet is always good for our system, eating like a pig won’t make pimples a permanent resident in your face. So when it comes to acne, feel free to eat your favorite Potato Chips, Cheesies, French fries and chocolates anytime.
Acne Myth Number 3
When you’re stressed acne tends to pop on your face like popcorn . Not true. Stress is a part of our daily lives and believe it or not it is not a contributing factor to the acne appearing in your face. Only severe stress treated by the doctor MAY cause acne to erupt only as a side effect of the drugs a person may be taking. If this is the case, consult your doctor immediately.
Now that you've passed Acne 101, you can continue reading about the causes of acne, and the products and cures that are available to you!
