It is a sad fact that acne sufferers are not being told the whole truth about getting clear skin and that is why they suffer from the disorder day in day out.
I used to hate getting up in the morning only to look into a mirror and see a face filled with blemishes and whiteheads staring back at me.
I hated it but that was when I realised that as acne sufferers we are not being told the whole truth about getting clear skin and it is actually much easier then you think.
There are literally hundreds of myths that float around that it is so easy to get caught up in the confusion so here is the biggest acne myths exposed: 1.
Washing your face more then twice a day will help to clear up skin in a much faster and effective way.
This is entirely myth and if you follow this you will actually make your acne even worse because you will cause your skin to dry out.
Excess washing leads to excessive drying out and in return your body begins to produce extra surface oils.
When these oils get caught in your skins pores acne formation begins but this time it will be even worse.
2.
Sunlight will clear up your acne if you get a lot of it.
This is a myth simply because as you most likely already know acne is very easily irritated and the more sun exposure you get the more it is going to spread.
How ever the sun has a good side to it as well as it contains a lot of vitamins and minerals in its powerful rays.
Your best bet is to use an oil free moisturising sunscreen so your acne is protected but you can still get the benefits of the sun.
