Most aghast teenagers address acne eruptions by manically scrubbing and dieting under the mistaken assumption that the qoute is somehow associated to poor hygiene or improper nutrition. While avoiding those cheeseburgers is certainly commendable for other health-related reasons, it is going to have no result on the acne. As for skin hygiene - while increased cleansing is certainly called for, laying on a face wash of harsh toothpaste with a pumice stone is hardly constructive.
Another mistaken assumption is that astringents will discourage excess oil secretion. Astringents clean off superficial oils while causing the skin to contract, thereby clogging pores and causing long-term aggravation for short-term cosmetic benefits. The best procedure of action is using a mild cleansing agent to wash down the entire face, not just the fabled T zone or only acne-affected areas and regular shampooing of the hair. Oily hair will directly translate into facial oiliness, especially in people with chin or shoulder-length hair.
