5. Stress Causes Acne
True and False. A bad day at school or work won’t make your skin worse. However, stress influences production of some certain hormones, such as glucocorticoids. This hormone is known for its acne-inducing effect. Avoid stressful situations and get enough of sleep to keep lower glucocorticoid levels.

6. Proper Hygiene Eliminates Acne
Clean skin is always better, no doubt. Yet dirt is not the reason why you got acne in the first place. Pimples start growing at the bottom of pores and only later do they appear on the surface. Acne can be a genetic problem and genetics has nothing to do with hygiene. Wash and see if it helps to solve the problem. Clean your skin gently using neutral skin products. If you treat it harshly, rub it intensively, or use abrasives, the condition can become worse.
