With so much information about skincare, it can be hard to know what’s true and what’s a myth. Let’s clear up some of the most common ones:

“Oily skin doesn’t need hydration.” - Myth! Hydration is essential for all skin types. When oily skin doesn’t get the moisture it needs, it can produce even more oil as a defense mechanism.

“Drinking water improves your skin.” - True! Internal hydration reflects on your skin’s appearance, helping to keep it supple and elastic.

“Sleeping with makeup on is bad for you.” - Absolutely true! This clogs your pores and can cause acne and premature aging. The build-up of makeup residue can also compromise cell renewal and aggravate problems like blackheads and pimples.

“Natural products are always better.” - Myth! Not everything that’s natural is suitable for your skin, and not everything that’s synthetic is bad. Natural ingredients may cause allergies or irritations, while scientifically developed products undergo rigorous testing to ensure safety and effectiveness.

"Daily exfoliation improves skin." - Myth! Exfoliating your skin every day can cause sensitization and remove the natural protective barrier, leaving your skin more vulnerable to external aggressors.

Being aware of this information will help you avoid common mistakes and take better care of your skin!
