Excessive Cleansing Good for Acne?
If you suffered from the skin disorder known as acne during childhood, your parents may have continually reminded you to wash your face. Right after school, before dinner, and finally before bedtime they were always on your case. Most people accepted the notion that acne was caused by oil and other bacteria and grime found on the skin. We have come to learn that none of the above actually causes acne. The initial cause is actually an abnormal skin turnover cycle. When the skin cannot replenish itself by shedding old cells, the old cells linger on the skin clogging pores. This is what gives birth to acne.
