Answers
Will you outgrow pimple? Maybe. According to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), 17 million people in the United States have pimple right now. 85-95% of all people between 12 and 24 are hit by pimple. The sad truth is that pimple can strike at any age. As you get older, your body changes and you could be a victim. This is especially true for women due to hormone changes, particularly during pregnancy and menopause.
Is pimple caused by dirt and grime? To a degree, yes, but not really. Poor hygiene is only a minor cause of pimple. That’s because pimple is caused a buildup of dead skin and naturally produced body oils. This in turn will clog your pores and bacteria become active. The outcome is pimple. Note that there are many other factors, such as genetics and environment.
Does chocolate increase pimple? There isn’t a lot of scientific evidence that there is a substantial connection between diet and pimple. However, there does seem to be at least a minor connection. Based on what thousands of people have reported, it is very likely that good eating habits contribute to better skin which will reduce pimple. The bottom line is that you don’t have to give up chocolate, but you should only have it in moderation.
Does makeup increase pimple? No, the use of makeup will not generally cause or increase pimple. There’s one catch. The makeup needs to be oil free and hypoallergenic. So, feel free to use the right kinds of makeup, especially since it’ll raise self-esteem.
Does tanning reduce pimple? Unfortunately, tanning will not reduce pimple. It might decrease redness but the pimple itself won’t go away due to tanning. Further, tanning increases the likelihood of dry and irritated skin. It’ll also prematurely age your skin and increase your risk for developing skin cancer.
Does eating well and doing exercise help eliminate pimple? It does seem that good health leads to healthier skin, which reduces pimple. A balanced diet can’t hurt. If nothing else, it will improve your body image. In short, eat well and get some exercise to reduce pimple.
Does scrubbing really hard eliminate pimple? The short answer is no. Again, hygiene isn’t really related to pimple. You’ll want to regularly wash you face to remove dead skin cells, surface dirt, and excess body oil. But, too much cleansing or washing will simply lead to dryness and irritation. That can make pimple a lot worse. The recommendation is to gently wash your face 1-2 times per day and avoid harsh chemicals and cleaners
