The 12 MYTHS Of CHRISTMAS | DEBUNKED
czcams.com/video/zAAlhYYFJP4/video.html
Do ancient people have acne?
''So if you want to avoid bad acne just relax''
Me: Tell that to schools.
To be calm before adversities is possible. Learn about stress management.
Dude at this point I just stopped caring about deadlines, if I can't have a good time I won't be doing my best at productivity so I actively chose to postpone some things and encourage myself when I am in the mood. It's really hard for people who can't understand, so all my advice is try out some side hobbies that make you feel better in the longer run and try correlating that with your subjects
this is why most teens have pimples
I never understood why people complain about school, it’s not even that bad. Just shows the new generation is a bunch of snowflakes.
@@alexholmes8714 usless information that we wouldn't need in the real world.
That was the most disgusting wideo I absolutely needed to see.
This actually taught me some things even after a decade of dealing with acne.
Glad you found it useful! Subscribe for our next video 👍
Same. I never knew about the triangle before this, or the different type of spots. Very helpful
Same, I always popped the bug ones but I never knew it was bad I just found it satisfying and I didn't really care that it hurt.
Hi handsome!
It was very disgusting
I’m 14 and I’ve found that just washing my face 2 or 3 times a day made it much clearer. Also cut down on the snacks, minimal sugar and salt.
Sugar is a huuuuuge part of it
When I was 14 cleaning my face more seemed to work but it's not a good metod in the Long ron. As he said. Cleaning too much can cause acne. Now I use pruducts that my doctor give me. Should have started with products earlier, better safe than sorry.
@@Hjallapenos I only wash twice a day. Once when I wake up and once when I’m taking bath in the evening.
@@lordaragon901 That's good. Just don't hesitate to start using products before it's too late.
@@Hjallapenos thanks for the advice bro
"so if you want to avoid acne just relax"
Anxiety: Haha *NO*
aha-
So if you dont want to be homeless just by a home.
@@jiraiya6360 “why are you so depressed? Just be happy :D”
@@comicsans5812 its cause he died before his crush confessed to him and before his student became hokage
Best video I’ve ever seen, they even explained the “triangle of death”, something I was only told about at the Medical School… subscribed 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you so much for that comment and subscribing!
@rita Hi Rita, below is some expert advice on how glasses can cause acne but with regards to the itchy eyes, could it instead be to do with a skin product you are using to treat acne?
HOW GLASSES CAN CAUSE BREAKOUTS
"The reason for this is because oils, bacteria, skin debris, etc. can stay trapped under the part(s) of the frame that have contact with the skin. This leads to clogged pores and acne.”
"Anywhere the glasses make contact with the skin is where localized breakouts can occur.” - Dr. David Cangello, MD FACS Cangello Plastic Surgery
"The friction actually can result in something called ‘acne mechanica,’ where the pores become clogged simply because of the constant pressure and rubbing.” - Dr. Whitney Bowe, Dermatologist / Author of "The Beauty of Dirty Skin,"
WHAT TO DO
Other than keeping your skin clean
"make sure to wash glasses daily to remove bacteria and oils from them. "
- Dr. Audrey Kunin, Dermatologist
Really wish schools would say something about the triangle of death so I would have known sooner cause I have been popping the ones in the triangle for like 3-4 years now and I still have manky scars
Actually if you havs A pimple in your ear don't pop it based on my mom Obsevation and experienced of her friends it's Cancerous So don't pop it and also Our ears is the Sensitive.
@@anacitoavisado5975 oh... You know only if I saw this yesterday
My dermatologist told me to stop or cut down on drinking milk (inc cheese and esp yogurts) and tea. Also, drink a lot of water. No lie, my acne significantly got better, I still get a few here and there, of course. But, nowhere near as bad I was. Hope this helps!
Edit: I’m getting a lot of replies regarding stopping milk being in our diets, don’t completely cut it out of your diets, obviously. I didn’t write my comment the best, and didn’t expect my comment to be as popular as it is. I just wanted to help, and not have other people fork out 50e a session like I had to. My Dermatologist meant to cut it out, but only for a time, so you get your acne down to a reasonable or manageable level. Also, I had a second visit with her recently, and she told me the following: cut out sugar (this only works for some people, not all), take regular showers if you have greasy/oily skin, and water is only a temporary fix, meaning once you stop your acne will come with full force again, so keep taking it regularly. She also mentioned the sun can indeed help with acne, but it’s a double sided coin for some. It could help one person but it could also make it worse for others, due to the UV rays it’ll help clear skin, but the heat will cause you to sweat and the skin to get oliy, then make it worse for some. .
But why tea ? Milk of course bro but why tea
@@renelac4331 anything with calcium like milk, tea, yogurt I was told to avoid. My face is so much better now.
Its because of the growth hormones in milk, not because of the calcium, there are many plants with calcium that are actually good for your skin.
i dont wanna lower my calsium tho because I want my bones to be strong
@@darshanpaudel6396 if you want your bones to be strong then don't drink cow milk, because cow milk will mess with your body's PH and the way your body has to regulate it back to normal is by injecting phosphorous to it, and guess from where it get the phosphorous to do so... yes, your bones, that's why osteoporosis affected bones look like weaker structures full of holes, you took all the phosphorous out of them to regulate your messed body PH. Think, why only cow milk has extra calcium? soja or almond milk don't come with extra calcium, that's because they don't mess with your PH, they put the extra calcium in cow milk because they are trying to compensate for the weaker bones you are gonna get when older, sometimes it work, others don't, and that's when you see people complaining "why did I get osteoporosis? I drank milk all my life!". Just switch to plant based milk, find one that you like and after two weeks you won't even notice the difference, also, it is sweater, so you will also use less sugar, in case you take any.
I cannot believe I just watched this while eating
😂
Too much internet I guess
Fricken chad
Me too
@@courageunusual5211 Me too just now 😂
When i was a teen my elders always tried to scare me not to pop any zits because ill make a permanent scars to face. I ignored those talks and poped prolly thousands of zits. Luckily i didn't make any scars or skin damage, and i had some really nasty big ass cysts on my face. One of my friends had similar problems, but unlike me his face is full of holes and craters. I believe that skin and tissue condition plays a big part in making scars.
I have some dark spots by popping mines.
@@doctordeath2551 I got dark spots and I didn’t even pop my pimples
I've have a a case similar to your friend where I have small little crates on my face from popping them. Not nice to look at
Popped money fore years, only got really minimal scars, barely noticeable. Hate how they say don't pop it. Tried for a long time not popping them, they don't even go away. Just get more bigger... So I pop it. Plus if you don't pop them properly or get it fully out, they just come back. Even bigger= scars
I'm 27 and still get pimples. I pop them whenever I can, and I only got scarring from one pimple.
I’ve had horrible acne ever since I was 11, I’m 15 now. I’ve tried everything to rid of it, cutting back on snacks, constantly washing my face until I actually got yelled at by teachers and parents that I was washing it too often, medication, programs... everything made it better, but it never fully went away. Hopefully this video can help me.
Totally same. Except that I have it since I was 9 and now I'm also 15. My parents also yell at me for wasting too much water when I wash my face more than once or twice a day...
@@zuzanastrakova5169 Dont wash your face more than once a day(except for after eating greasy food or anything oily.), but wash your hands frequently or after you touch anything oily, and just try to keep anything from touching your face that's not clean. Scrub enough to get the dead skin off, but dont use so much soap it completely strips the oils. Eating less sugar and dairy helps a lot too.
@@in4mal_baker270 Thank you for the tips! 🤗
You should start getting into the skincare side of youtube! It has helped me sooo much! My favs are James Welsh, Hyram, Cassandra Bankson, Liah Yoo, and Dr. Dray.
Some tips:
1. Only wash your face at most twice a day (morning, night). Any more can be very stripping and drying especially if you are using soap meant for the body or hands.
2. Find a decent facial cleanser! These are much more gentle and often will have ingredients MEANT to fight acne. The #1 ingredient I reccomend is Salicylic Acid, but try to keep it under the 2% mark otherwise it may be too drying.
3. After cleansing (washing), ALWAYS moisturize! Not moisturizing will make your skin extremely dry (which often causes even MORE acne) and susceptible to damage if you go into the sun.
4. ALWAYS use sunscreen in the morning after cleansing and moisturizing your face. The sun can also cause damage to your skin and also causes aging. Even if you don't care about aging, its still a good idea to protect your skin.
5. Try to stay away from fragrance, especially if you know your skin is sensitive. This doesn't matter too much with cleansers, since youre washing it off immediately, but fragrances can be sensitizing and cause redness and itchiness, which then will make you touch your face and cause breakouts.
6. You may think all this is expensive, but there are some great brands with all sub $20 (even sometimes sub $15) products such as The Ordinary and The Inkey List.
7. Finally, you do not need a complex skincare routine. All you need is a cleanser, a moisturizer, and a sunscreen, and youre good to go!
Hope this helps!
@@mochiyeosang1908 Tysm! I use lotions that use 4% (the 10% one was wayyy too much for me, I almost skipped school because it made my face so red and puffy) Salicylic Acid and I try to keep my face moisturized with normal lotions made for, you know, keeping skin moisturized. I don’t normally carry sunscreen with me though... I may try to, but I travel lots and I’ve never seen small sunscreen bottles near me.
Currently, I use the 4% acid (as said earlier) and soon I will be using anti fungal hairwash prescribed by my orthodontist. I didn’t catch all the details, but problems with dead skin and yeast (+ very dry and oily skin) have been a problem for my fathers side for generations. At one point, it got so bad I was sent home because the nurses thought I had chicken pox x)
But thank you again! I will definitely check out those channels.
Accutane worked for me. I suffered from constant break outs until 33 after I took accutane for 6 months. I would only get a few pimples a year compared to getting multiple pimples per day. I’m now 45 but I look 35
How can I get it ?
@@yunga8305 You have to see a dermatologist for it. It goes by a different name now. They have to do blood work and monitor it for you and it's pretty rough on the body but incredibly effective.
@@yunga8305 it basically dries out your skin….A LOT. I’m on it as well, however I’ve only been on it for a little over a month. As the person before me stated it’s pretty rough on the body but it does work, even only being on it for a month it has reduced redness and swelling on my face. The only downsides I have is getting blood tested monthly (I hate needles) and the headaches it causes, you’ll also get nauseous if you don’t take it with a fatty meal…
I'm 15 and currently on accutane. I got less acne but when i get it it always leave a scar no matter if its small or large it always leave a scar.
Accutane worked for me too. Cured my acne on my face. HOWEVER, it was painful. Made my skin so dry, just a small scratch cut open my face and now I have a big scar there that’s still there. Plus, it caused me to be sensitive to the sun so I literally have to spend the rest of my life inside. If I go outside for too long I get a horrible rash all over my body. So yes it does cure your acne but BEWARE THE RISKS
You guys never dissapoint, I really love your content!
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it and hope you learnt a bunch of new things 👍

"Don't pop them like that"
Me poping some exactly like that while watching: oh..
Thank you for answering my question! I’m over 30 and just got acne again. Nodules are evil.
Yeah my wife got a couple in her back and they were horrible. First time she went into her doctor and she jabbed them a bunch and for better or worse I helped to get the ick out of the region, apparently this was quite painful for her but honestly was just trying to help. They came back about 2-4 years later, sorry memory is a bit hazy from that period, and this time she had them surgically removed. That was over 10 years ago and she hasn't had any other issues. These things were the size of large marbles, and they were better after I cleaned them out, just the process that wasn't fun for either of us. Definitely requires a strong stomach.
Excellent video. I'm in my 40s and still suffer from acne. It started way before puberty and never really stopped. This has been the most informative, and entertaining, video I've seen on the subject. Great work. Your content is always top-notch.
"So if you want to avoid bad acne, just relax"
Me with anxiety being near people:
Something that can really help is drinking more water, and eating better.
He literally says that the water thing is a myth in the video
I'm sick and menstruating rn but my face got better, its most probably because of my period but I drank alot of water these days so yea. I guess
@@jasonpeng5798 it's not that water is good, it's that other drinks are bad, so if you drink more water youll drink less other fluids
I remember when my stupid ass coated my chin in toothpaste over the night and waking up to the skin cracking and falling off.
I still remember the pain having to go to school that week
Done it as a teenager too 🤦♂️
My dumbass put lemon om my skin
I mean, when I got my first pimples (2 spider bite-like twins on the side of my nose, I put toothepaste on them and the next morning they were practically gone. This was when I was about 12, and I havent done it since then, but maybe I was just lucky lol. I did only put a small amount right on top.
I did that too 😭
what the fuck
now i’m so paranoid and have more questions than answers 😂
I'm fifteen with a bit of acne. I found out that low sugar, less milk intake, and a clean face can help a lot with pimples. And in my experience, not popping my pimples would be suggested. I damaged the skin on my jaw line trying to pop them. All in all, just don't mess with them.
I usually doesnt bother having acne on my forehead or jaws but the place I hated the most is that lil shit grows in my fkin nostrils😭 its so visible plus hurts af
@@BonBon-du4xv IT CAN BE INSIDE THERE???
except removing diary products and drinking twice the amount of water, what helped me the most was washing my face regularly with honey 🍯
Honey can cause wrinkles they say
When I got to the “But if you pop them, how should you do it” an ad played and the first thing that was said was “take care of your skin my guy it’s not hard”
the commercial lied
I dealt with cyst acne. My acne was so bad I felt like I had boils all over my face except my chin and forehead and after 4 years of battling my acne I now have scarring (my acnes way better now). I learned to not touch my acne at all and let it go away on its own. I also take cold showers and honestly it sucks, but I feel that cold showers have helped my acne immensely. I even try to only drink water to try and keep my skin healthy. If you’re dealing with severe acne stay strong, youre not alone and you can get through it! I know it’s a degrading feeling and for me it was so bad to the point where I didn’t even want to leave my house and I still struggle with being happy with my confidence. But I try and stay positive. All I can say is it will get better I promise! Stay strong and try to keep a happy mindset!
I loved this!! So informative. I have completely been popping mine wrong!
As someone that is still getting occasional zits on my face and I think I will have some on my back till the day I die. Among the countless home remedies people have recommended over the years, the only decent one came from a buddy of mine from the army. Which is just splashing your face with plain water multiple times a day or whenever you get the chance. Also, regular bedsheets changes helps as well with daily showers even if its just water.
With regards to the bed sheets it's also recommended to change your pillow cases regularly to lower the transition of bacteria to your face.
@@DebunkedOfficial Yeah, forgot to mention pillow cases, I think changing them is more important than sheets. But I think most people when they get through the trouble to change sheets, pillow cases go along with em as well.

@@mochiyeosang1908 I already have a moisturizer and cleanser, but do I really need sunscreen If I'm not in the sun? because the moisturizer and cleanser was already working well
@@HoloScope the sun can still damage through windows, so unless you have thise fancy uv blocking windows or black out curtains drawn 100% of the time, it still does affect you. but i dont think it will be super drying if you're just inside, but the aging and damaging affects of the sun will still be there, albeit decently lessened. if you're not that paranoid about it, i wouldnt worry too much if youre not going out in the sun at all, unless you know youre genetically predisposed to skin cancer. but whenever you _do_ happen to go out, try to remember to use sunscreen.
I'm a teen who has been suffering with this for years. It's great to hear confirmation on things that I wasn't sure were myths or not
Used to be so depressed. After getting help and my life feels better, my skin condition gets better too.
Congrats my guy
@@jadyntrujillo2195 thanks 😊
What a beautiful visual explanation
I have heard about the triangle of death and was confused by it for the longest time because no one actually explained to me the importance of the parts of the nose that are connected to the brain. I never understood how an infection from pimple popping in that area could harm the brain because for the longest time I thought ' how is that possible with the skull in the way?'...and now I know. Very informative and easy to understand. Very well done.
This was a really great video. I went in it with some stress too, I wanted to turn it off initially but the level headedness, pace of the topics and overall distribution of them was really nice and the information very informative. Just subscribed, cheers
I had severe acne that left me with keloid scars. I still get huge pimples when I'm liberal with my sugar and alcohol. But cutting it down seems to work for me. And also exercising helps, it feels like my body doesn't store up sugars and fats, but it translates it directly to creating new pimples. That's why it helps, good day at gym takes most of unused nutrients and keeps my body safe from new pimples.
Amazing videos - so sympathetic Stu - thanks a lot keep on ❤️
I have no idea why this video was recommended to me but I enjoyed watching it and I gained some knowledge. And I always like to learn and expand my knowledge and understanding, so I liked the video.
Whenever i stay up late or drink less water it increases rapidly. Washing daily or drinking water helps a lot. Hope this helps
Now I try enjoying even the dull view from my window in the fear of going blind, considering that I've popped quite a bit of pimples in "the danger zone"
Very educational video! Thank you so much 👍
I was looking everywhere and I finally found a perfect video. I should share this to my pack.
This video taught me more then 1 week in school
Never heard of the triangle of death before
Great video it taught me so much things I didn't knew before
Thanks for the video 👍
Being 15, I don't get acne a lot but when I do it's always around my menstrual cycle and in my t zone. I NEVER pop my pimples, but I do touch them until they peel off, sometimes they bleed but sometimes I just don't pay attention to them and wait till they completely leave because I'd rather not have acne scars.
Same i peel them off and they bleed a little
Love this video! Great explanations ❤
Tysm I never knew any of this before! I've been doing it wrong for 5 years tyyyy for the vid
My pimples gotten worser again after we cant afford the needed soap for my face so this helped me! i'll definitely try tomorrow morning!
Acne is a form, or in the same family as leprosy.
The causes and effects of both are very different, but both are skin infections.
Of course, treating either is not easy.
I've found that acne triggers are different per individual.
you're a damn genius
This video was so disgusting and hard to get through but man i could'nt be more thankful to you guys for making it and to youtube for recommending it at the right time.
Wow! This video is very educational!
OMG😭😭 I'm 18, and I ONLY GET PIMPLES IN THE "DEATH ZONE"!!!!😭and many a times these zits/pimples/cysts (they're big ones I don't know which type they belong to) are so painful and keep on growing for days that I pop them using cotton and hot water or just my fingers, sometimes they pop on their own too.. All in all, I have a hell lot of spots and bumps left from these pimples in my nose. I went to a local doctor when I was 15/16 and he said it's just hormonal changes and is nothing to worry about (but I think I should consult dermatologist now), since the time all this pimple popping stuff has started in my life I've constantly lost my vision (can it be related?) I've even developed some sorta nose block issue where if I sleep on one side it gets blocked and troubles in breathing.. Heckk ARE THESE CONNECTED??? 😭😭😭 I'm SCARED SHIT
GIRL GO GET THAT CHECKED OUT I HAVE ACNE ON THE DEATH ZONE SOMETIMES BUT I DONT CONSTANTLY LOSE MY VISION OR HAVE BREATHING ISSUES
I used to have ton of acne on literally just my nose but now they're all tiny bumps I can't get rid of help me
@@frozenace7 i need a solution for those bumps too
o mah
try putting lemongrass oil and water mixed on it ! this stings a little but it kills lots of bacteria
My face was covered with acne when I was 17. OMG! I can't imagine! However, I used a geil, named "Acne Star", for a month and after that my skin got much better and now I'm 21 and it's totally fine. Thanks God...
Thank you so much!! This video helped me a lot. Now I know more about how I should fight with acne
Glad to have helped
Wow this was really helpful lov it♥️
Glad you found it useful 👍
I have tried literally everything when it comes to acne.... Every single thing. You name it. No gluten, no milk, no sugar. 3l water everyday. Non comodogenic products. Facewash, moisturizer, sunscreen. Benzoyl peroxide, nicotinamide, salicylic acid, witch hazel,tea tree oil, even ayurvedic treatment. Every single thing. But it still won't leave me alone.
Edit: 5 months later when i made this comment. As a last resort i tried isotretinoin. Worked in 2 months. I'm grateful. I hope everyone else who suffered the same as me gets to discover this med. It's amazing.
Was on the same path on you, my saving grace was a combination of a Ponds Pimple clear face wash + Benzoyl Peroxide gel .
Acutance is the answer
That's why I never believed these so called scientists
I apply salicylic acid daily and after a few months my face now looks WAY better!
Hi, did you have white and blackheads mainly? What product did you use?
@@AliMohammed-ez6nt mostly whiteheads and rosacea (which is still present but noticeably reduced) and I used the Yes To brand
Good work ❤️
THANK YOU, I'M GROWING PIMPLES I NEEDED THIS
I rarely ever get one but when I do, I apply iodine on top of it with a cotton bud and it shrinks in size and goes away within a day.
Two a month. Yes, please. All the best to the team.

Thank you very much you have made my life healthier now. 🙂👍
This is actually helpful thanks
My father never taught me how to pop pimples, so I never knew that it was a thing people do
My nails are like weapons, they grow alarmingly quick and no matter what size they are they can scratch skin. I've hurt not only others but also myself by accident alot. And my most recent pimple didn't take it well and I had to wear a bandage on it to stop myself and because it was no longer considered a pimple it was a wound.
thanks so much for helping! :)
Thanks for watching and glad it's helped 👍
Thank you so much for your videos 😀😀
This dude: *says something about the triangle of death*
Me: *extremely nervous chuckle*
Also I think I might have 2 nodules on my face, they don't hurt unless you touch them though
Don’t mess w em
I wish schools explained acne much more like this
Thanks for the information
This information is very useful for me, Thank a lot
Dear my fellow acne sufferers (while mine has never been extremely severe):
If you are not already, you should start getting into the skincare side of youtube! It has helped me sooo much! My favs are James Welsh, Hyram, Cassandra Bankson, Liah Yoo, and Dr. Dray. All of them reccomend some great products that DO work and have only beneficial ingredients.

Edit: also, if you're able to and have actual concerns such as possible fungal acne, rosasia, or other skin diseases, go to a dermatologist. i'm american so its quite expensive, but my health insurance covered it despite imo not being super severe (other than maybe mild fungal acne... still waiting on my appt). I know in Europe, according to James Welsh, dermatologists are hard to come by, but on the other hand, South Korea has plenty of dermatologists that cost next to nothing compared to America, and that there is a country that is HUGE on skincare.
Thankyou
"Touching your face with your hands can cause a breakout"
**slowly moves hand of face**
Same bruh
Ohhh god thanku for recommending me this video ☺
Thank you.. This really helped me.
"Dont pop pimples, they can cause further breakouts!" So maybe im special but ive never had an issue after popping a pimple. Heck popping them releases any stress i felt in that area. Maybe its bc i use a needle and wash cloth?
I always just took a needle and gently poked a hole in it.
great presentation
Interesting... and helpful, I’m a little weirded out by this video, but am also thankful for watching it.
So many of these videos do not apply to my life whatsoever, but I love them anyway. :).
I’m 19 and have had acne for around 4-5 years now, on my back, chest, arms, and face. I’ve been on multiple different medications and been prescribed lots of different creams but none worked. I’ve also stopped eating sweets all together which I think is what has helped the most. They’re no where near as bad now but it’s been such a cause of stress all these years
do yoga i had pimples till 15 and it was horrible ( big ones). so i got fed up since i swear kids in my age didnt had much pimples and i was the only one with tons of them in my face which gave me bad feelings, so i searched up many solutions in internet, bought some creams non of them worked so at last i came up with doing tons of yoga and exercise and surprisingly i only got 1 and 2 rn in my face. Xd im so happy that someone found yoga and those cool exercises. Must try.
@@strikeshot35 oh ok yeah I’ll give it a go, any idea why this helps? Drinking a lot of water is defo helpful too. Over the last few months I’ve been growing a bit of a beard to help cover lol but it’s a lot better now anyways
@@altaudio555 my parents kept on telling me to get some expensive cream which might work but i didnt want my skin getting toasted from side effects so i always said NO. about the yoga it keeps on giving a lot of pressure and face yogas really helped me. I dont know the scientific process and how does it work on pimples but yhea it worked for me
@@strikeshot35 aaaah I get you yeah thanks, and nah I never trust creams half the time it made it worse lol
Why is your vids are so underrated???
Great content btw
Oo and also, you mentioned that "you shouldn't wash your face twice a day". Is that mean you can only wash your face during the bath??
Yes I know what you mean. So I wash my face once when I have my morning wash, and then once when I have my evening shower before bed. Obviously if you have a food or get messy etc after your bath then you'll need to wash again but try not to make that a habit and use a gentle soap or even just warm water if you are washing a third time 👍
I wish to see this film sooner.. thank you ❤️

Shit the last time I watched a debunked video was way back when dropping a coin from the Empire State Building
I just see this and try to watch it and it help me a lot about this topic about pimples thank you so much for the instruction 😊
Wow 😣 amazing and knowledgeable video 👍👍👍👍👍👍
35 now, still fighting them and my skin is very oily sadly. im waiting every day for them to stop lol
wash your face with soap if you don't
@@kamatayon6380 not to sound like an asshole but u could imagine that i already did that lol.
i prolly have already tried more washing lotions, soaps, etc. than the average dude.
i always find it hard to believe that we can fly to the moon but there is nothing we can actually do. i know it depends on so many things (food, work-life-balance, emotional stress, etc.) but yeah, fuck it, im looking for a face viagra! in terms of usage of couse ;)
Stop eating dairy. I think dairy is the reason most ppl break out cause I stopped eating dairy and they all went away in a few days then I ate diary again and they came back the next day.
I hope you find something that works for you!
Even though I’m in my twenties I have never had a big concentration of spots on my face, but the back of my shoulders are always full of them, even though I don’t have much hair there. Is there a motive or it’s something unimportant?
Do you live in a hot country or sweat in your sleep? The same happens to me and it's usually caused by sweating during the day or night
@@jeanvictorhajjar oh, yeah I sweat a lot during the night, so is that the cause? Never though of that, thanks
Same with me, i Had very much and still have a few pimples on my shoulder and upper back. Its very annoying when i have to carry a backpack or something.
Thanks bro 🤜
Thankyou for that information thankyou very much
There are no particular foods thats cause acne, but if eat more healthy, you‘ll less likely have them.
The close up video/picture of the skin with a lot of acne triggered my trypophobia. 😅 Then you showed it AGAIN! 🤣
Love the video. I learned a lot. Thanks!
Thanks Melissa
BTW Melissa we have finally re-launched our Patreon page! As you were such a loyal supporter for a long time, I will look into getting an exclusive T-shirt sent out to you as a thank you as you have already more than earned it. I'll email the details.
This was a nice video 👌
My family was recommending me to use lemon, toothpaste, baking soda, other sour fruits, and idk anymore. But didn't work. I searched on Google and you can also get acne from radiation but how? And I was doing it wrong the whole time. I was literally peeling off the acne skin something part and then get the white cream something. This video explains everything I wanted. Good job.
This should be a mandatory class in 7th grade science.
I pick at my acne. Actually, last year the picking got so bad that I ended up cutting into my skin to the point of bleeding. When scabs formed I picked those away over and over and would make the wound deeper. It didn’t hurt (usually). I became obsessed with it and couldn’t stop. I’d do it self consciously without even knowing it. It became so bad I’ve actually scarred myself. Luckily I got it under control and even though I still pick a little bit, I have stopped, have gotten my acne under control and now the scars have started fading just after one summer.
I know no one wanted to know but I just felt like writing this.
I'm glad you got over that habit! I use to pick at my pimples back in middle school but thank God I stopped doing it before it got if hand. Hoping we can both overcome our skin problems.
@@myathegrandma I hope so too
I won't lie that sounds like mild ocd tendencies
@@AH-tm9ly oh most definitely. I was never officially diagnosed but I definitely had some OCD for at least a little while
I have this but for my scalp and idk how to stop
im officially grossed out, Thank you for the information
I would like to add a few interesting little tidbits of information I learned and add to the discussion. A lot of people are unknowingly lactose intolerant and one of the side effects of lactose intolerance is an increase in oil production and I assume sebum production as well. I decided to cut out milk and other dairy items as much as I could in my last year of high school and ever since my skin has been much clearer. However I always tend to notice more acne after I consume dairy products more than a few times in a week. This may not work for everyone but I do want you guys to try it! I saw results in about 2 weeks of reduced dairy intake! Maybe we could get a study on dairy and acne together for the dietary side of things?
I don't get acne on nose and forehead, just my cheeks and chins
Best way is to avoid them altogether, shower before and after bed with soap, brush teeth, wash bed sheets, avoid touching your face but if you have to wash your hands first.
I'm not sure if I was lucky, but my pimples were normally solid and could be removed very easily, but I had to remove them or else they would get embedded into my skin, and digging them out after that happened was not fun.
When I moved out of my parents house I changed my diet. This was one and a half years ago. I consume no sugar, no milk, no meat, I try to have at least 50% vegetables in every meal. I dont eat processed foods, drink only water (no more alkohol as well). About 3-4 months after moving out I had no more acne. Before this I had regular outbreaks and always some red spots from past outbreaks. My skin is clear now. To me it is quite obvious that the change in diet cleared my skin. Besides I feel like my self-esteem increased a lot and I generally feel much better in my skin. I think avoiding sugar and milk, as well as eating a lot of vegetables were the most important parts for healing my skin. I would strongly recommend trying this for several months if you deal with acne.
I also started meditation and daily yoga/stretching around that time, as my muscles were too stiff to even stand upright and relaxed and my mind was constantly agitated. I can recommend both of these things as well. I cant overstate how awesome it feels to have a upright and relaxed posture and a calm mind.
I never really had acne. Whenever i saw something like in the video i directly popped it and it looks like i naturally did a perfect job. No scars or making it worse. It was a very informative video.
if they only up on face, neck, shoulders, back and chest, then how did I get it on my leg
I've had whiteheads since I was 8 I think. It started on my lower chin and there were 5 at most. I'm 15 now and my arms are infested with just about hundreds of whiteheads. I've only had about 3 on my face since 10 years old. I don't know why it's on my arms but I don't question things about them anymore since they popped up on my thighs lmao
That doesn't sound like acne at all, sounds more like keratosis pilaris, which is an common skin condition that causes your hair follicles to produce excess keratin and clog your pores. I have it on my arms and legs too
yeah i have those on my arms too, went to a dermatologist and they said its just a super common thing where you follicles produce a little too much keratin, and they pop up usually on arms and thighs, they can pop, but most of the time theyre not actual whiteheads
this helped thanks!
