I've even believed dust and dirt can not cause acne. In fact I've been read it some ware. BUT yesterday I've meet a friend who have newer had acne problems. Her face was fully covered by red and yellow pimples. She told me it was from a large quantity of dust she "took" during the last 3 days trying to deep-clean her house.
I heard and even understood her point: dust cover your skin, block the pores, pores get inflamed (you may correlate this with intense sweating) inflammation grows to pimples.
Anyway, I am wondering: it was acne or just a irritation? And if was acne, it is the real cause dust? -
I'll say it again: you can not have pimples in just 2 days. A pimple/zit/comedo needs 6-8-10 weeks to develop, most part you don't feel it and don't see it. I've read tones of books and medical notes and stuff like that all pointing to the same statement: acne is a continuous problem. Your friend probably experience some sort of allergy and most probably will be gone in days. Unfortunately, my acne stays the same for the last... I don't even remember how long, 8-10 years.

I agree with anna.. Your friend may probably be suffering from allergy to dust that lead to pimples. Those may not be counted into acne. The process might be the same that the sweat and dust might have caused the pimples but another reason is that her skin might be sensitive or hypoallergic one.

It is true that dust is a factor that causes acne. i notice this on my skin. When i don't have the chance to clean my face during the day it looks very irritated and i get the feeling when i touch my face that i have hundreds of pimples under my skin.

I do not think it's acne. It was for sure some sort of allergy to dust. Acne is a long term condition.

I agree that acne is related with dust and also sweat.Mixe this two factors and you will have the perfect result...........inflamated pores.

and stress. Don't forget the stress as one of the biggest cause of acne. I mean, at least in my case:)

Besides using medications prescribed by a doctor, there are a large number of products on the market labeled as skin cleansers, facial cleansers, pore cleansers, and facial pore cleaners that can be used in curing acne.
When cleansing skin that is afflicted with acne, an important point to remember is not to scrub the skin; never scrub your face with a washcloth. It is a misconception that acne is caused by dirt clogging the pores of the skin. You don’t scrub away the offending dirt; you can’t scrub away the offensive acne and achieve acne free skin.
Over-washing or scrubbing skin afflicted with acne only serves to aggravate the condition. Rather use only a gentle skin cleanser, lukewarm water, and a gentle motion with your fingertips as your primary acne skin care regime. When you wash your face with your hands, be sure to first thoroughly wash your hands.
Look for gentle cleansers that are sold as acne solutions. When you’re evaluating skin cleansers for acne, include natural acne treatments in your search as well. For example, a soap made from Echinacea and other herbal ingredients is an effective antibiotic facial cleanser that helps fight acne and restore clear skin. Tea tree oil also has known antibiotic properties and serves as a mild anesthetic that will soothe the irritated skin.
