Food only plays a small role in the appearance of acne. Acne is in fact due to the proliferation of a bacteria called Propionibacterium acnes within the hair follicles which have become blocked.

2- Acne is an illness which only appears in adolescence.  FALSE.

It is true that about 80% of adolescents have acne. But certain adults can have it even if they did not have it during adolescence.

The presence of whiteheads or blackheads has nothing to do with the lack of hygiene!   A major cause of their appearance is hormonal imbalance.

It is true that at first the sun’s heat has the superficial effect of drying up the spots, but the problem will reappear afterwards.
