1.) Is it possible to receive acne from other people?

    While a bacteria is present in some varieties of acne, it is found in the hair follicles beneath your skin and cannot be transmitted through touch. So, no, touching or kissing someone with acne won't make you get acne

2.) Is it true that having acne in both parents means I'll get acne?

    According to research, heredity has a substantial impact on who gets acne. As a result, children with acne-prone parents are at a higher risk than other kids. It should be highlighted that, like with any disease, having a family history does not guarantee that you will get it; rather, it indicates that you have a much better chance than someone who does not..

3.) Can certain foods or drinks cause acne?

Answer: Studies have shown that everything from chocolate, candies, fried foods, sugar, drinking water, orange juice, and milk can cause acne or exacerbate existing acne. However, there is no scientific data to back up these claims. It's tough to pinpoint a single cause for acne because there are so many variables at play. So whether or not to forgo particular foods or beverages is purely a personal choice. If you notice that particular foods cause your skin to react poorly, simply avoid them.

4.) Does dirt on my skin contribute to acne?

Answer: Maintaining proper hygiene will aid in the maintenance of healthy skin. Although dirty skin will not cause acne, anyone suffering from acne should be extra vigilant in maintaining a good cleansing routine. Excessive washing can irritate your skin and make it more prone to infection. Washing your face with a gentle cleanser will help reduce skin cell buildup and keep your skin looking great. So strike a balance and avoid over-washing.

5.) Does stress contribute to acne?
Answer: Stress has been shown to aggravate acne rather than cause it. So, if you have acne, you should be aware of how you react under stress and develop strategies to help manage and control it. This will not only help you control your acne but will also improve your overall health.

6.) Can you get acne after you've outgrown your adolescence?

The straightforward answer is yes. Indeed, many people who did not have acne as a teen can develop it in their 30s, 40s, and 50s.

7.) Does make-up or sunscreen aggravate acne?

Answer: Certain products that are excessively greasy and thick can clog the skin's follicles, resulting in the development of acne. Because not all products have the same effect on everyone, you may develop acne while using one product but not another. If you have acne, you should be extra cautious about what you put on your skin. Always use oil-free products and test a small amount on a patch of skin for a few days before applying it all over.

8.) Exercise will it affect my acne?

Some people's acne seems to worsen when they engage in strenuous exercise that causes their bodies to heat up and sweat. An exercise-induced sebum-production theory has been proposed. When sebum production is too high it can lead to acne.

9.) Is a facial effective for acne?

Answer: There is no simple answer to this question. The phrase "facial" can refer to anything from an over-the-counter product purchased at a drug store and done at home to something done at a high-end spa for hundreds of dollars. The basic fact is that anything that irritates your skin can exacerbate your acne.

10.) Why is my acne no longer responding to my present treatment?

Answer: Acne medicine, like other drugs, loses effectiveness over time as your body develops tolerance to them. For maximum efficacy, acne treatment regimes may need to be used on a rotating basis.
