I hope you have had a terrific week! I have been super busy helping friends with two weddings and a couple of fundraising events this past week. Talk about stress! 🙂

I have to tell you that I hear the most amazing things at public events. Often, I hear things that are related to topics I write on or the work that I do.

Since misinformation is the mother of all confusion, I want to talk about a few of these I have actually heard repeated in the last few weeks.

This last event I attended I actually heard a comment about having sex being a way to clear up acne skin. I was like whoa… I did not just hear someone advise that as a therapy!

Now you may laugh, but the last time I was guesting on Sirius/XM radio on the popular rap artist Eminem’s Hip Hop show with shock jock LL Cool J, I had a lot of similar questions and beliefs to talk about for the listening audience.

Even as LL Cool J tried to be shock jock with me on the topic of acne, I was able to throw it right back and we all had a great time and learned a lot. I hope to be back on again soon.

You might think that this was an odd channel for me to be questing on, but the listening audience was so responsive that they blew out the incoming call lines, a first for that show!

Acne is a really big problem with a ton of misinformation and myths around it.

That all made me consider that it is time again to do a little acne myth busting just so we all stay on the same page. What if I were to ask you three True or False questions and asked you to answer them considering what you might believe to be true?

Let’s take a minute and do this…

1. True or False – Changes in your hormones can contribute to acne breakouts.

2. True or False – You can get clearer skin by having more sexual relations.

3. True or False – Stress causes acne.

Well, if you answered True to any of the above then you got them all incorrect. However, whether you’re right or wrong does not matter.

What matters is that none of the above causes acne or acne breakouts directly.

Acne is the body’s immune response to the naturally occurring bacteria on the skin that has made its way down into a pore. That is it, period.

While acne can and does have varying levels of severity, the process by which it occurs is the same.

Let’s take stress for a moment. It can make your immune system more sensitive and your skin more vulnerable to a breakout. Stress does not cause acne, but it can aggravate it.

Similarly, hormonal changes can do the same thing and also increase or decrease the skin’s oil production. These changes occur throughout a person’s life and are normal.

So, while hormones don’t cause acne, they do cause changes in the skin’s behavior that can make it more prone to breakouts, depending on how healthy the skin care routine and a person’s life choices are.

As for sexual relations being a cure for acne, that’s just plain old bunk. Don’t listen to someone that tells you anything related to that, and be careful with that subject altogether.

Like everything in life, a reasonable approach to all aspects of a healthy lifestyle matter, both in your short-term health and the long-term.

In this blog alone I have written countless posts on these choices. Understanding the popular myths about acne and other skin troubles will help you get the correct answers and make good choices quickly.

I encourage you to always check out anything you hear regarding skin care, whether it’s the newest product out there or one of these acne urban legends. If you have any other myths you’ve heard that you would like for me to cover, please post them in the comments section below.
