MAKE-UP
FOR ACNE-PRONE SKIN

It’s common to see cosmetics labelled “non-comedogenic”, which simply means that they do not block your pores. Typically, these products are oil-free and may even contain active ingredients that help cover up shine while letting your skin breathe.

TRUE
OR FALSE
OILY FOODS
EQUALS OILY SKIN.
FALSE
A common acne myth is that grease on your plate translates to more oil in your pores, but there is no direct link between the two. However, a diet rich in saturated fat can fuel micro-inflammation in all of the body's organs, including the skin. In short, bacon and chips won't cause acne, but moderation is the best policy for overall health.
CHOCOLATE IS BAD
FOR ANE-PRONE SKIN.
FALSE
There is no solid evidence that chocolate has any effect on acne, even if everyone is different so acne could cause breakouts to some people. Dark chocolate is actually filled with skin-loving anti-oxidants!
SQUEEZING A PIMPLE WON'T
DO YOU MUCH GOOD.
TRUE
Even if it seems like a quick fix, squeezing a pimple will actually make things worse for your acne-prone skin as it could actually damage the infected hair follicle and increase inflammation. You could even introduce a new infection with your fingernails.So popping zits is a harmful habit and best avoided!
SUGAR CAN MAKE
ACNE WORSE.
TRUE
Recent studies have shown that high Glycemic Index foods - the ones that cause blood sugar to spike- can make acne worse. We know it's easier said than done, but to keep your skin happy, steer away from sweets, sugary drinks, and goodies made from white flour and stick to high-fiber foods, like whole grains and pulses, instead.
