Acne Myth 2

Myth #2 - Sweating Helps Clear Acne

Some people believe that going to a steam room or using hot towels will improve their acne.  There is no basis for this myth.  In fact, some studies have suggested that sweating makes acne worse due to increased temperature, marked humidity and sweating.  In any case, you should know that you can not sweat out your acne and those of you who do these types of things should consider the lack of data for this course of action.
