Here are a few common skin care myths to stop believing that I hear all the time as a dermatologist! - Eating pizza 🍕 and chocolate 🍫 will break you out: Eating chocolate or greasy food has little effect on acne. Acne is caused by a variety of factors including hormonal changes, family history, stress, etc. - Drinking water💧will cure your dry skin: Dry skin is a result of a combination of genetic and environmental causes and can not be remedied by only water intake. - Sun tanning will help your breakouts ☀️: While your skin’s breakouts may look temporarily better and less red after sun exposure, UV rays will ultimately cause more harm than good to the skin. Too much time in the sun causes skin dehydration, hyper pigmentation, melanoma and other types of cancer. - Lips do not sunburn 👄: Compared to the rest of your face, your lips actually are more susceptible to sunburns. Frequent lip sun burns can actually increase your chances of developing skin cancer on the face. Have any questions for me?
