Common Misconceptions about Acne
Acne is surrounded by a number of other myths and misconceptions which also need to be dispelled. Chief among these is the one about acne being caused by certain foods. Although some people are so convinced of this that it becomes a real task to disabuse them of it, 
nevertheless acne vulgaris is neither caused by nor made worse by eating the wrong foods. There is no reason, at least as far as your acne is concerned, to avoid eating chocolates, fried foods, colas, nuts, potato chips, candy, ice cream, or pizza.
Foods high in iodine, however, such as shellfish, kelp, iodized table salts, and mineral supplements containing iodine may aggravate preexistent acne. You should reduce your intake of these foods or completely avoid them. The mineral iodine is usually included in most commercial multivitamins with mineral supplements. If you routinely require a multivitamin and mineral supplement, avoid the iodine by taking a plain multivitamin tablet and the individual supplement you specifically need.
Acne is brought on by sex is another popular myth, and one that often arouses a good deal of guilt and embarrassment in some adolescents. However, there is absolutely no medical substantiation for this belief. The only link between sex and acne is that, following puberty, the same increase in production of male hormones that affect sexual behavior and development is also responsible for increasing oil gland secretion.
Another favorite misconception is that acne can be caused by having long hair or by letting your hair rest on your forehead. In fact, the surface oils coating your hairs play little role in acne genesis.
Still another misconception is that acne is exclusively a teenage problem. Disappointment, frustration, and anger frequently follow when acne sufferers learn otherwise. For some people, the discovery that the stroke of midnight of their twentieth birthday does not miraculously bring an end to their “teenage” acne problem comes as a jolt.

Greetings! Quick question that’s entirely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My blog looks weird when browsing from my iphone 4. I’m trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to fix this problem. If you have any recommendations, please share. Many thanks!
I used to have dry and damaged hair too so I stpoepd straightening my hair and using any heat appliances to my hair and I began using elvive nutri gloss cream which you can get from any cosmetic store and its really good as it helps to smooth your hair and makes it soft. If you have naturally curly hair and you don’t like it I could not recommend john frieda’s frizz ease curl reviver mousse enough. It is really good you can use it on all hair types and it helps to stop your hair from going frizzy and it helps to make your hair look neither greasy or dry put nice and shiny. Hope I’ve helped.
