THE MISCONCEPTIONS OF ACNE!

- By Favourite Nurse Favour
You’ve heard plenty of stories about how to get rid of your Acne, but how do you know it’s true? Today, lot of misconceptions posing as remedies for Acne keeps floating around the internet. But on this post, I will unmask some top acne misconceptions and help clear off any confusion. Firstly, let's see what Acne is below.

ACNE is a skin condition where you frequently experience breakouts of clustered pimple. It could be on your Face, shoulders, chest or back. It is a health condition that affects both teenagers and adults. This issue has left many Ladies concerned and it has caused many to search for quick relives, of which some actually ended up worsening the condition.

Five (5) Acne Misconceptions you don't need to settle for:

First Misconception: Bursting Pimples Makes It Heal

The moment you burst your pimples, and the pus does not come out, or even if the pus comes out, you may end up clogging your skin pores, trigger inflammation under your skin and make the acne more noticeable. So after popping the Acne it will becomes worse. 
Do not burst your acne. If you feel so concerned and tempted then kindly visit a dermatologist they are skilled and they know exactly what to do. 

Second Misconception: Using Toothpaste, Lemon Juice And Garlic Will Remove Your Acne

This is one of the harshest thing you could do to your skin. Dermatologist advise that you should not apply this products on your face and I totally agree with them. Considering the various toothpaste products in different stores today, lots of them contain ingredients that can put your skin in danger. This can make your skin more Inflamed, irritated, and the pimples would be noticeable afterwards. 
Also, Lemon juice and Garlic, as you know are powerful spices but when used on the face, it causes pains, irritation and rashes, which can further cause injury leaving a scar on your face. 

Third Misconception: Only Teenagers Suffer From Acne

So many adult is holding on to this myth, they become surprise whenever they notice acne around their face. But you see, acne can happen to anyone, thinking it just affects teenagers isn't true. Most times, it communicate the state of your health. It's not something that should get you scared, some are just hanging out on your face due to food allergies or stress.

Fourth Misconception: People Who Sweat So Much Are More Likely To Get Acne Frequently

This is also a myth. If this was true, then people who consistently exercise and even athletes would have unending acne over their body's. Acne doesn't work like that. Naturally, when you sweat it pulls out those dirt that has been clogged to your skin. However, while you sweat it's best you wipe it off or you shower after any strenuous activity. When you allow the sweat to stay for 12-24hours then it has the tendency to trap more bacteria to your skin.

Fifth Misconception: Scrubbing Your Face So Hard Will Remove Acne

Scrubbing your face really hard doesn’t wash away the acne. If you scrub too hard, it can inflame the acne, making it to look even worse on your face. Avoid scrubbing your face so hard.

When it comes to your body and your health, you really need to be careful. For ladies you have to be skeptical on the products you feed your face with. No one loves to have acne, but please ensure you don't hurt yourself alongside.

IRREGULAR PERIODS: Causes, Signs & Tips Every Woman Should Know.

- By Favourite Nurse Favour

Dear Queen, How often have you silently wondered if your period is “normal” — yet felt too scared or confused to ask? You’re not alone in this quiet struggle. So many of us carry the weight of unanswered questions, enduring pain, missed cycles, or heavy bleeding, wondering if this is just “how it’s supposed to be.” Sometimes it feels like we know more about the latest phone or fashion trend than about the very rhythms of our own bodies — those sacred cycles that shape who we are. And the silence around this topic? Deafening. But your body is speaking, Queen. It’s trying to tell you something deep and vital — a message that could change everything about how you feel, live, and love yourself. You deserve to hear that message loud and clear. Because your menstrual cycle is not just a “monthly thing.” It’s a mirror reflecting your health, your stress, your strength, and your spirit.

YEAST INFECTION (GENITAL CANDIDIASIS INTRO)

GENITAL YEAST INFECTION Yeast infection can be so uncomfortable. It makes you restless, irritated and tired–especially when it keeps coming back even after you’ve treated it. In fact, 3 out of 4 ladies would experience this once in their life time.  Just imagine being invited to an event, and while you are on stage giving a speech, you suddenly feel an intense desire to itch your vulva. You try to ignore it, but the itch just won’t stop. At that point, it might even disorganize your thoughts, and you find yourself rushing through your speech just to run to the restroom. This infection is both embarrassing and exhausting. Let me give you another example:  A lady once said, that when hers starts, she uses a comb to scratch it. Yes–a comb! She said the more she scratches, the more intense the itch becomes. Just imagine what we women go through. And that’s why on this blog, you are going to learn about: “What exactly is a yeast infection, including its symptoms.” WHAT IS YEAST INF...
