Myth: The black stuff inside blackheads is deep-down dirt.
Fact:
Contrary to popular belief, the black inside a blackhead is not dirt, so it can't be scrubbed away. Dermatologists say the dark stuff is probably a combo of dead skin cells and sebum (oil). Unlike a whitehead, a blackhead is a clogged pore that is open at the skin's surface, so the material inside oxidizes and turns darker when it's exposed to the air. To help keep blackheads away, be sure to exfoliate. Try good skin™ microcrystal skin refinisher once a week, or polished skin gentle exfoliator 2-3 times a week.

Myth: You can sweat away acne.
Fact:
Working up a sweat won't force out the debris of a pimple. And pores do not extrude sweat--perspiration comes from a different gland altogether. If going to the gym has made your skin clearer, the reason may be hormonal. Working out can balance your hormones, but in some cases, it can also exacerbate breakouts: if the sweat duct or hair follicle doesn't drain well a cluster of pimples can develop. To keep pores clean, be sure to exfoliate regularly. Try good skin™ microcrystal skin refinisher once a week, or polished skin gentle exfoliator 2-3 times a week.

Myth: You're either born with sensitive skin or you're not.
Fact:
Our bodies are changing all the time. In fact, the signs of sensitivity or easily irritated skin usually appear from age thirty on up, even in individuals who've never before experienced sensitivity. If your skin can become easily red and/or irritated, try good skin™ all calm™ creamy cleanser, all calm™ soothing toner, and all calm™ moisture cream.
