No misinformation, myths, fearmongering, pseudoscience, DIY/natural/holistic remedies, etc. E.g. masturbation and acne, opening/closing pores, drinking excess water, using baking soda/lemon juice, claims of microtears, face mapping, suggesting supplements, etc. "Natural" and "clean" are not safer than other products.
