“Have Acne? Best Medication Is Clean Hygiene” – Really?
I recently read an article with the title “Have Acne? Best Medication Is Clean Hygiene.” This made me wonder how many other people think acne is a hygiene problem. Probably a great many, I concluded. Why else do people sometimes scrub their faces raw to try and get rid of it?
The truth is, acne is not related to hygiene. Although it is important to wash your face once or twice a day if you have acne, it has nothing to do with dirt.
The problem has more to do with the accumulation of sebum, the substance secreted from sebaceous glands of the skin. The plain English definition would be oils secreted by the skin. And yes, this material does need to be controlled, preferably with regular, gentle cleansing of the skin. It has nothing to do with a lack of cleanliness.
