5 Common Skincare Myths
Skincare is booming, but unfortunately there are also many myths circulating that do more harm than good. To keep your skin healthy and radiant, it is important to separate fact from fiction. In this blog we debunk five persistent skincare myths!
1. More expensive skincare products are always better
Many people think that a high price equals better quality, but that is not always true. There are budget-friendly products with powerful ingredients that are just as effective as luxury brands. It is all about the active ingredients , not the packaging or the brand.
2. Natural products are always better for your skin
Although 'natural' is a popular term in the beauty industry, it does not automatically mean that it is better for your skin. Some natural ingredients, such as essential oils, can be irritating. Dermatologically tested synthetic ingredients can therefore be safer and more effective. If you are still unsure about a product or ingredient, please feel free to send us a message.
3. The more you exfoliate, the better your skin becomes
Exfoliating helps remove dead skin cells and gives you a fresh complexion, but over-exfoliating can damage your skin barrier. This can lead to redness, irritation and sensitivity. Limit exfoliation to 2-3 times a week and choose the right exfoliant for your skin type.
4. Oily skin doesn't need moisturizer
A common misconception! Oily skin needs hydration just as much as dry skin. If you don’t hydrate your skin, it can actually produce more sebum, making you even oilier. Use a light, oil-free moisturizer that hydrates without clogging your pores.
5. Toothpaste helps against pimples
You may have tried it before, but toothpaste contains ingredients like menthol and fluoride that can irritate your skin. Instead, opt for products with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide , which are specifically designed to fight acne.
Conclusion
Skincare is all about choosing the right products and following a routine that suits your skin. Don't be fooled by myths and always do your research on what really works!
