Some acne myths include "you'll outgrow it, so leave it alone", "being out in sun helps acne", "acne problems are directly or indirectly proportionate to sexual activity", "acne visits dirty people", "acne is contagious", and too many more to list in this short article.
The sad thing is that belief in myths can be devasting, in that proper treatment is avoided, and lifestyle changes that don't need to be made can take away pleasure unnecessarily.
For example, at one point in my life, I truly believed that I was allergic to chocolate and that it caused my breakouts. Whenever I would succumb to temptation and have "just a little" I would stress out waiting for red spots, and sure enough they would appear.
After several years and much experimentation, I learned I had no allergy, stress was a trigger for me, and a new over counter face scrub has kept me in clear ever since.
Knowing what triggers your breakouts can be difference between constant battles and healthy skin. The Internet is a wonderful place to get information you need, so stop stressing out and learn what it takes to put your best face forward.
Dennis Becker has developed a free e-Course titled "Ultimate Acne Prevention and Treatment Guide" which debunks the myths and shows you how to look great consistently. The e-Course, along with other skin care articles can be accessed at:
