Many people claim that zits and pimples will go off, if we use chlorinated water regularly for bathing. But all these myths are exactly not true. May be the chemical chlorine can help you to heal your acne temporarily but it is proved that too much exposure to chlorine will leads the blemishes even worse. The chlorine has the capacity to make your skin a bit clearer because it removes the oil from the skin which is produced by the sebaceous gland. The oil in the skin is responsible for acne breakouts. As a result of the oil dried out from the sebaceous gland, your skin will turn dry and itchy or irritation takes place. This irritation makes your skin red and it may even result in scarring whenever you scratch the dry areas or current blemishes present on your skin. This also leads to some severe complications in acne. So when many people claims that chlorine is an effective acne cure or best acne healing medicine that is not real thing. Even the short-term results gained from chlorine are also have their own drawbacks and can lead to long-term acne problems.
