The document discusses common myths about what causes acne and the realities. It addresses five myths: 1) Washing your face more often will not clear acne as pores become blocked internally, not from dirt. 2) While stress may impact hormones, effective treatment is more important than stress levels. 3) Masturbation or sex do not directly cause acne, higher androgen levels may be related. 4) Sun exposure provides only short-term relief and can worsen acne with sun damage. 5) While diet may play a role, more research is still needed as some societies are acne-free.

Myth 1: Washing your face more often will help clear up acne Reality: Facial blemishes are not caused by dirt. Contrary to what you may have seen in commercials, pores do not get blocked from the top down due to "impurities". Rather, the walls of a pore stick together deep within the skin, starting acne formation.
Myth 2: Stress causes acne Reality: Stress may have an effect on hormones and theoretically can promote your acne. However, an effective acne system is more powerful than a bout of stress any day.
Myth 2: Stress causes acne Some psychiatric medications may have acne as a side effect, but stress itself is no big deal. Your time is better spent determining the right course of acne treatment rather than feeling guilt about stress.
Myth 3: Masturbation or sex causes acne Reality: This antiquated notion, originating as early as the 17th century to dissuade young people from having premarital sex, is not based on scientific evidence. A more plausible explanation may be that higher levels of androgens (male sex hormones) can cause increased sex drive.
Myth 3: Masturbation or sex causes acne We also know that high levels of androgens can be related to more severe cases of acne. So it may be the higher androgen levels and not the associated increase in desire for sexual activity that is related to acne. http://AcneOMG.com
Myth 4 : The sun will help get rid of acne Reality: The sun may work in the short-term to hasten the clearing of existing acne while reddening your skin, thus blending your skin tone with red acne marks. However, a sun burn is actually skin damage. It's important to prevent damage to your skin while trying to get rid of acne.
Myth 4 : The sun will help get rid of acne Sun exposure causes irritation which can make acne worse. People will often notice their skin breaking out as it heals from sun damage. The sun is a short-term band-aid which will often bite back with more acne in the weeks following exposure. Having said that, I don't want to give the impression that the sun is evil. It is not.
Myth 5 : Diet and A cne are related Reality: The bottom line is we need more research. We do know that people in some indigenous societies do not experience acne whatsoever across the entire population. http://AcneOMG.com
Myth 5 : Diet and A cne are related This is in stark contrast to the widespread presence of acne throughout all modern society. It leaves us to ponder the question of whether the indigenous people's diet contributes to their acne-free skin.
