1. Chocolate causes pimples
Fact: Scientific studies show no strong link between chocolate itself and acne. Diet can affect skin, but chocolate isn’t the main culprit.
2. Only teenagers get acne
Fact: Acne can affect adults too — especially women in their 20s, 30s, and even beyond.
3. You should scrub your face hard to get rid of pimples
Fact: Harsh scrubbing irritates skin and can make acne worse. Gentle cleansing is better.
4. Sun exposure clears acne
Fact: Sun may temporarily dry out pimples, but too much can damage skin and trigger more breakouts later.
5. Popping pimples helps them heal faster
Fact: Popping can push bacteria deeper, increase inflammation, and lead to scars.
6. Acne means you’re dirty
Fact: Acne is often caused by hormones, excess oil, and bacteria — not poor hygiene.
7. Toothpaste dries pimples overnight
Fact: Toothpaste can irritate skin and cause redness. Use products made for acne instead.
8. Makeup makes acne worse
Fact: Non-comedogenic (oil-free) makeup is designed not to clog pores and is usually safe for acne-prone skin.
9. Washing your face often prevents pimples
Fact: Over-washing can strip skin’s natural oils, leading to more oil production and breakouts.
10. Acne will go away by itself
Fact: Mild acne may clear, but moderate or severe acne often needs proper treatment to prevent scarring.
✨ The truth is: good skincare, patience, and the right advice make a big difference.
