1 - Acne is caused by Bad Hygiene!

Ritually scrubbing your face and other affected areas will make the problem worse and/or cause a new break-out. Scrubbing your skin causes irritation which can make the situation worse and not better and lengthen the time the acne takes to cure.

Good hygiene helps to reduce the effects of acne when used with natural or over-the-counter acne products. It is best to use natural proven products as you will probably suffer far less side effects than the strong prescribed medication. Go to a doctor to check if your acne is bad and don't be fobbed off by the statement 'You will grow out of it', you will not.

How often should you wash?

Once or twice a day with mild soap and pat dry. Never ever scrub dry.

2 Acne is caused by diet?

Thinking about what we eat, chocolate, greasy food etc etc. They are all supposed to give us acne. If that was true every large person would have acne and most have beautiful skin!

It will help if you do cut down on the fat you eat and the type of fat, transfatty acid being the worst - remember some fat is good for you and necessary for your diet.

Does a really bad diet give you large lumps on your body or puss filled spots - I don't think so but I am not a doctor. It may shorten your life but acne???

Extensive scientific research has been conducted, looking for possible links between what you eat and the triggers for acne. After quite some time they have come up with no proof or evidence that this is fact.
