Acne Myths – Really Wacky Ones!

Acne Male Cartoon

They are all kinds of acne myths. Most of these myths have no realistic barring at all, but people still believe a lot of these myths however untrue they might be. If you’re one of the people who believes in acne myths then you will probably find reasons to validate your beliefs, but you can rest assured most things you feel cause acne really don’t. Here are two really out there myths associated with acne.

Not having sex

Believe it or not there are actually some people out there who believe when you’re a teenager that not having sex can cause acne. As silly as this may seem there are lots of people who agree with this weird acne myth. Rest assured that not having sex has nothing to do with getting acne. When you are young your hormones are jumping all over the place and causing imbalances in your body that cause the acne, but not having sex has nothing to do with it.

Greasy foods

It is also a myth that greasy foods cause acne. Eating greasy food has nothing to do with getting acne; it’s the grease that forms in your pores as they began to produce oil. Now of course not having proper facial hygiene can be the cause of acne, but consuming foods that are high in grease and oil will typically not cause you acne. It is not known how this myth was started, but it was probably started from someone who spilled a little bit of grease on their face and ended up breaking out. A little soap and water to the face would take care of that.
