❌ Myth: My skin is dirty and full of bacteria, so I need antibiotics.
✅Fact: Bacteria is usually a side effect of the clogged pores, which leads to inflammation.
Oral antibiotics come with harsh side effects like sun-sensitivity and digestive disturbances (not to mention making birth control less effective!) and they usually only provide temporary relief, if any. It is critical to get to the source of the acne issue, and bacteria is rarely it. Sometimes, a round of antibiotics can help speed your progress up, but only in conjunction with proper diet and products! #FactFriday
