Dermatologist Maria Zhuravleva told what not to do when treating acne and why these actions are ineffective.

There were so many “useful” tips hear for those who are faced with the problem of acne and its treatment. And “it will pass by itself”, and “everyone had it”, and “after marriage the problem will be solved” … In general, what kind people and cosmetologists will not advise. Yes, experts also sometimes make mistakes and give patients completely non-working advice.

“The hit parade of ridiculous tips and comments for acne is endless. Many are still of the opinion that acne is age-related, so nothing needs to be done about it. Of course, pimples are not life-threatening, but they can spoil it oh how much!”, the expert says.
Acne is treatable if the treatment algorithm is chosen correctly.

The first ridiculous advice is to drink sorbents. Many begin to cleanse from the inside. And they do it in such a way that they only harm themselves. If we are talking about a revision of the diet and a balanced diet – such a cleansing can be said yes. Enemas, detoxes and sorbents – no. They do not affect the solution of the acne problem.

Regular trips to the beautician for cleanings (and in fact, squeezing acne) is also not the best way out. Especially on a permanent basis. Some inflammations are generally strictly forbidden to press! Peelings and many other cosmetic procedures on acne-prone skin are also not recommended.

Tar soap and alcohol-based “talkers” are very popular tools for getting rid of acne among the people. Alas, they will only aggravate the situation, and you will get dry skin with an earthy tint.

Cleansing of the skin should be very soft and delicate, moisturizing is a must. No alcohol!

Almighty antibiotics are not a panacea either. The fact is that they do not eliminate the cause of acne. They can be used as an additional therapy, but not as the main method of treatment. Maria Zhuravleva Maria Zhuravleva Beauty Dermatologist
