<div>That being said, acne is also increasingly common in adults, especially women – and is thought to be a response to hormonal fluctuations, dietary choice and stress. This phenomenon has been reported in adults who have not been troubled by acne during their teen years.</div>

<div><strong>Applying Toothpaste to a Spot Is an Effective Overnight Cure.</strong></div>
<div>This ‘top tip’ has been circulating on social media but can actually really irritate your skin. It is thought that this particular myth originated from a time when toothpaste contained an antibacterial agent called triclosan (which is now no longer a common ingredient). Toothpaste has been formulated to use to clean teeth; it may well dry out the skin, but this is likely to result in a rebound production of oil, causing more spots. The toothpaste is also likely to burn the skin and further damage its already fragile protective barrier function. The toothpaste will not destroy the acne causing bacteria and may also result in contact dermatitis. </div>

<div><strong>Acne Is Caused by Being Dirty – So Washing More Often Will Clear Up the Spots.</strong></div>
<div>Most people with spots are fastidious about cleaning their skin – in actual fact, over-washing your skin can exacerbate acne. The skin has a protective barrier function which can be damaged by overzealous cleansing. Harsh aggressive cleansers can further strip away this protection and even cause a rebound in oil production which can in turn cause more spots. Cleansing your skin with a gentle cleanser, ideally one that is formulated for acne prone skin and can just be rinsed off with water will cause less damage. You should not need to cleanse your face more than twice daily except after vigorous exercise (just to remove any pore clogging dirt and sweat resulting from working out). </div>
