5 More Myths About Adult Acne

Acne is not something you take lightly.

“Clear up” your skin and lose
these misconceptions (pun intended).

Acne Myth 6: You can’t wear makeup if you have a breakout.

Some makeup can definitely exacerbate acne,
particularly thicker liquid foundations
that can clog pores and stage-type pancake makeup.
“But lighter, looser powder foundations,
like mineral powder, aren’t nearly as aggravating
to your skin,” Amy Derick, MD, FAAD,
a dermatologist in Great Barrington, Ill. says.
“Of course, people who have acne want to cover it,
and coverage is better with thicker liquids,
but you have to compromise.”

Acne Myth 7: Acne is just a cosmetic problem.

Acne can have lasting consequences
in how you feel about yourself –
and left untreated, or improperly managed,
it can leave permanent scars.

Acne Myth 8: You just have to wait and let acne go away with time.

There are many treatments now available for acne.
At Ageless Remedies SouthPark we can prescribe
the right products and treatment just for you.

Acne Myth 9: You can “clean up” a pimple by scrubbing at it.

That’s actually the worst thing you can do.
“People will spend hours trying to get goop
out of skin to heal the acne,”
Derick says. “But picking your skin
is the number one way of getting a scar.”

If you have a huge pimple and a big date tonight,
you can get a single injection from Dr. G.
that will reduce it. Don’t pick!

Acne Myth 10: If you’re an adult,
just go to the cosmetics counter
and get a good face cream or cleanser.

Oh dear.  I wish someone would explain this to me.
I (used to) love going to the department store
cosmetic counter, too.
Now I know better.
How can you trust your skin to sales people
when you have a real problem?
They are trying to sell you their product.
Please go to professionals
who have much more knowledge and
many more tools in their arsenal
to customize treatment just for you.
