People continue to believe old wives' tales about the causes of acne, even though experts have now disproved many of the myths. We will attempt to reveal the truth about some of those die-hard myths and set your mind at ease so that you can move forward in your quest for clear, acne-free, beautiful skin.
Myth: Only dirty people have acne
Fact: Acne is not caused by poor hygiene but by hormonal changes taking place within the body. Sometimes the sebaceous glands (responsible for moistening our skin) become overrun with oil and block nearby follicles.

Improve Your Sleeping Habits
One of the best things that everyone can do to improve their well-being is to moderate their sleeping patterns. Unfortunately, poor sleep is a habit learned by nearly everyone during the teenage years. It is critical to allow your body the time it needs to wind down and relax so that you can be rejuvenated. If you feel tired during the day, when you awaken in the morning or exhausted before bedtime it is a sign that you are not getting the right amount of sleep. This could be too much, or too little. Try setting aside eight hours for sleep each night, getting into bed no less than half an hour prior to the time that you want to be asleep. If you do this for a few weeks, you will find positive improvements in your overall health and productivity.
