Contrary to popular belief, acne is not caused by dirt or lack of cleanliness. Here's why:

Root Cause of Acne: Acne develops due to a combination of factors, including hormonal changes, excess oil production, and the accumulation of dead skin cells. These factors contribute to the clogging of pores, leading to the formation of acne lesions.

Deep-Seated Pores: Pores are located deep within the skin, making it impossible to wash away acne simply by cleansing the surface of the skin. No matter how diligently you wash or scrub your face, you cannot eliminate acne solely through cleanliness.

Excessive Cleansing: Overwashing or harsh scrubbing can actually exacerbate acne by stripping the skin of its natural oils and causing irritation. This can lead to further inflammation and worsen existing acne lesions.

Effective Treatment: Instead of focusing on cleanliness as a solution for acne, it's essential to address the underlying causes of acne. This may involve using appropriate skincare products, implementing a consistent skincare routine, and seeking professional advice from a dermatologist if needed.

By understanding that acne is not caused by dirt or un-cleanliness, you can adopt a more effective approach to managing acne and maintaining healthy skin.
