Common Acne & Facial Care Answers
1. Acne effects people in what age ranges?Well, acne can effect people of all age ranges. *Acne statistics show some very interesting information: In the United States...
- 85% of people ages 12-24 have some sort of acne problem
- 20% of adults have acne
- 60 million American have acne problems
If you suffer from acne, you are definitely not alone.
If you are an adult suffering from acne, you are also not the only one.
2. What types of food cause acne problems to flare up?
It is a very common belief that eating oily and fatty foods will cause you to break out with pimples. Is this true? Well, scientists cannot find any relation between acne problems and what we eat.
Perhaps it is a myth. I have personally found that whenever my diet consists of more oily and greasy foods than usual, I tend to break out with an extra pimple or two (although, I no longer have a consistent and active acne problem). Is this a coincidence? Perhaps.
Regardless of my personal views, the scientific answer to this question is NO. No, oily and greasy foods do not cause acne problems to flare up.
3. Does acne problems affect only people who are dirty?
Well, you're probably thinking: "That's a stupid question!" The simple answer is NO.
No, you are not considered dirty because of your acne problem. The fact of the matter is acne is not even caused by dirt. This leads us to our next question...
4. What causes acne?
The previous questions may have been fairly easy for you. You may not know the answer to this question if you haven't already done some skin care research. Well, here is a rather technical breakdown of acne and our skin:
The pilosebaceous unit consists of a hair follicle, sebaceous gland, and a hair.
Sebaceous glands are the glands that are connected to our hair follicles. Sebaceous glands produce a substance called sebum.
Sebum is what keeps our hair and skin moisturized. Sebum protects and waterproofs our hair and skin, and aids it in combating dryness and cracking.
Acne is caused when the pilosebaceous unit is not functioning properly. In many cases, the sebaceous gland is either producing too much sebum, and the sebum gets caught in the hair shaft causing a blockage. This in turn causes pimples to form.
Rather than concentrating on the technical and scientific explanations of acne and pimples, we would rather concentrate on just that...finding the best treatments and solutions to aid you in your journey to finding the product or remedy that best suits your personal needs.
5. True or False? Acne is only supposed to affect people who are teenagers.
The belief that acne is only supposed to affect people in their teenage years is another very common belief. However, the first question in our set of acne trivia already answered this one.
FALSE. Acne can affect people of all ages.
