It can be controlled. With a combination of a daily skin care routine and regular consultation with your physician, you can be on your way to clean and healthy skin. Simply put, acne is the term for plugged pores (blackheads and whiteheads), pimples and even deeper lumps (cysts or nodules) that can occur on the face, neck, back, shoulders and even the upper arms. It can affect girls and boys during adolescence and can even affect men and women in adulthood. It's time to sort out acne myth versus fact once and for all. Myth #1: The more you wash your face the fewer breakouts you'll have. Fact: It's important to maintain a consistent skin care regimen, but over-washing can cause dryness and exacerbate the condition. Myth #2: Acne is caused by eating candy and greasy food. Fact: This is a common belief, but there is no concrete evidence to back it up. Myth #3: Popping pimples will make them go away faster. Fact: Actually, popping pimples could potentially spread the problem deeper into your skin and may cause permanent scarring. Myth #4: Don't wear make-up if you want clear skin. Fact: In fact, wearing make-up is fine, providing it's oil-free and non-comedogenic (won't clog pores) and it is removed in the evening before bedtime. Myth #5: If breakouts persist, it helps to use more acne medication until the breakouts stop. Fact: Like over-washing, over-use of acne medication will only irritate your skin by causing more breakouts and drying out the skin. It is important to follow a consistent daily skin care routine that cleanses, treats and moisturizes skin. While there is no quick fix to treat acne, consulting with your physician to determine your best treatment options is the first step. Microdermabrasion safely propels fine mineral crystals along the surface of the skin for gentle dermal abrasion to remove dead skin cells and allow new, younger cells to emerge.
