6 bad habits that cause acne

Pimples are the most insidious enemies of the beautiful half of humanity. They sneak up unnoticed, appear at the most inopportune moment (usually on the day of a responsible interview or an exciting romantic date), and like to stay longer, leaving unsightly scars to remember.

Dermatologists agree that it is impossible to identify a single reason for the appearance of acne: it is always the result of a combination of a whole group of factors, including poor nutrition, personal hygiene errors, and also the characteristics of human skin. But still, there are bad habits that make the skin worse, and mistakes that should be avoided.

What's the secret to getting acne regularly? Meet the main culprits:

1. Dirty phone. It sounds surreal, but using a gadget with a dirty screen plays a big role in the appearance of acne. Especially when it's hot, and no one wipes the screen between uses.
2. Lack of sleep. Not getting enough sleep leads to stress, which in turn leads to skin problems.
3. Improper nutrition. That is, frequent consumption of refined sugar, dairy products and fast food. Dermatologists advise eating a balanced diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
4. Sleep in cosmetics. Sometimes laziness, sometimes there is no time, but the result is the same: without clearing the skin of dust, sweat and cosmetics before going to bed, we openly invite pimples to the light.
5. Washing your face too often. Paradoxically, but true: by washing your face too often, you dry out your skin, the body in response begins to produce more natural oils, which leads to clogged pores. It's also not particularly helpful to use aggressive facial scrubs too often.
6. Stale pillowcases. If you do not change them at least once a week (or preferably two), they become a kind of Petri dishes, with ideal conditions for the growth of bacteria (especially if you forget to wash off your makeup before bedtime).
