Another information that is totally false is that chocolate and greasy food causes people to break out. It is not yet proven that there are specific foods that causes one to break out, each of us are different to one another so our bodies react differently to what we eat. Other people may notice that they are breaking out after eating certain foods, while others do not. Another false information that we may often hear is that the more often we wash our face, the less we will get. Though cleaning the face often may get rid of bacteria and oil, it may cause severe dryness if washed too often causing the skin more breakouts. Also, it is false to assume that by popping your pimple, you will instantly get rid of it. Popping the zit may only worsen your condition since you have the tendency to push the bacteria further and deeper in the skin which eventually may lead to redness and more irritation. And lastly, worse false information that we may see and hear from commercials is that it helps to use more of medication until the pimples are gone. This misconception is dangerous since it not only makes you spend more money, but also dries your skin a whole lot.
