If your teenage days are long gone, and you are still breaking out like crazy, don’t worry; you’re not alone!
You can get acne in adulthood, and there’s a perfectly plausible explanation for them; but ultimately, you need them gone. Chemical peels have been around for quite some time now, and they are known to be effective against acne. However, clients always have questions and concerns regarding chemical peels and their effects on acne. In today’s article, we will not only discuss chemical peels in detail but will also debunk some common myths associated with acne.
Eating habits Have No Effect On Acne!
Surprise, Surprise, they do. Remember the old saying that you are what you eat? Well, it turns out it wasn’t wrong after all. Your diet plays a crucial role in how your skin looks. Research has shown that foods with a high glycemic index cannot only aggravate acne but will sometimes even trigger it. Foods with added sugar and processed carbs such as chocolates, soda, bread, sugary drinks, and even milk can cause your skin to break out.
On the other hand, if you consume foods with a lower glycemic index, such as whole grains, cauliflower, cucumber, walnuts, and cashew nuts are all great for keeping your acne at bay. Moreover, foods that contain zinc, such as eggs, mushrooms, and seafood, are great for healing and restoring the skin. Carrots, cabbages, and other mineral-packed vegetables are rich in Vitamin A, which keeps the skin looking youthful and fresh.
Makeup Can Cause Acne
Although it seems pretty likely, not all decorative cosmetics cause acne. Makeup products for problematic skins are non-comedogenic, meaning they don’t clog pores. Also, water-based products are better for acne-prone skins as products with alcohol dry out your skin and make it more irritable, whereas oil-based products make your skin greasy and clog pores.
Toothpaste Can Heal Acne
Yes, toothpaste can work as a sanitizer and a drying agent for acne because it contains menthol and triclosan with baking soda and hydrogen peroxide. But it can also cause skin irritation and itchiness.
Using it to treat acne regularly can make your skin worse and may even lead to more acne in the long run. The takeaway is don’t use it on your face.
