Although acne is much more common in young people, it can not be excluded that it also occurs in adults, 30-40-year-olds.

There are, however, a number of myths related to this problem, which we should debunk.

One of the most common things people ask is whether acne is contagious. The truth is that although it is caused by certain bacteria, acne is not transmitted from person to person. So, if your family or friend has acne, do not think that it will automatically be transferred to you.

Another important issue that needs to be clarified is whether food has an impact on the appearance or exacerbation of acne. The fact is that the intake of too much carbohydrate and the increased consumption of fresh milk are directly related to the appearance of acne. So it will not be bad to keep track of your food if you have a similar problem.

How important is hygiene? Hygiene is generally very important in every respect. But acne does not always occur only in unsuitable and unclean regular skin. On the contrary, even the use of aggressive cleaning products can have a negative effect on the skin. It is advisable to clean your skin, but with gentle products and gentle movements twice a day.

Does myth that the sun cures acne? In fact, if we need to be more specific, the sun can lead to increased sebum production and blockage of fat cells. And this will certainly make the condition of the skin worse, especially if she already has a problem with acne. Do not overdo the sun and use sunscreen products.

Do not cough the acne buds. It has become almost a legend and there is hardly anyone who has not heard it. Interestingly, however, this is not a myth. It is really not advisable to squeeze the buds. This can not only aggravate the problem of acne but even leave scars on the skin.

Cigarettes and acne? No. This is a terrible combination. In addition to all other damage from smoking, it affects the skin badly, can provoke the appearance of acne or worsen it if you already have it. So try to limit cigarettes if you have a similar problem, and not only.
