Acne FAQ

1. Does chocolate and fried food cause acne?
There has been no scientific research that links acne to the kind of food you eat. But loading up on fruits, vegetables and drinking heaps of water will not hurt!

2. Why do I have acne?
Stress, genetics, lack of sleep, hormones all play a role. When your pores get blocked by sebum, bacteria grows, leading to the growth of blackheads and whiteheads. If the follicle wall gets ruptured, inflammatory acne can occur.

3. My skin is oily. Should I moisturize?
Yes. Moisturizing will help in regulating oil production in your skin. Use an oil control (non comedogenic) moisturizer instead.

4. How do I prevent acne?
Wash your face twice a day with a cleanser with glycolic acid AHA. Moisturize with an oil free face cream after. Don't pick on zits, blackheads and whiteheads. Avoid irritating the skin with scrubs. Always use a sunscreen even if you are exposed to the sun for a short time.
