You wake up and you see a new breakout in the mirror, your mood is already spoiled, and you know the worse is coming. Acne and post acne scars are like a nightmare, not just for teenagers but for anyone with an acne prone skin. If you have been facing the same challenge, you surely would have heard different stories, home remedies, preventions and what not.
Today, Nita Med Spa’s experts are going to help you understand the difference between myths and facts.
Eating Habits Affect Acne
This is the one we have all been hearing since we were children. Drink more water, don’t eat spicy, oily foods and you won’t have to deal with acne. While early research suggested otherwise, the most recent studies indicate that this is actually true. According to scientists, foods with a high Glycemic Index can cause and worsen acne. Foods made from refined flour, chocolates and refined sugar have a higher GI than other foods. So if you are eating cauliflower, whole grain cereals, cucumber and cashew nuts, you can reduce your acne.
Along with that, foods rich in Zinc, Vitamin A and C, are good for acne reduction, scar healing and restoration.
Make Up Is Harmful For Acne
Well, makeup in itself isn’t bad for acne, neither does it cause them. But the ingredients in the makeup can have a very direct effect on acne. Oil based makeup is definitely not good for acne prone skin. So while buying makeup, ensure that you are buying the one that’s suitable for your skin.
Another way in which makeup can aggravate acne is pore clogging. If makeup isn’t cleansed off properly, it will ultimately clog the pores and cause acne.
Toothpaste Eliminates Acne
Toothpastes are for teeth but they are supposed to help with the acne too, why?
Because the cooling menthol and triclosan are soothing and antibacterial. They can definitely sooth out the acne and reduce the irritation but a toothpaste must not be used as a remedy or a long term plan as excess of these ingredient on your skin can cause rash and irritation as well.
