Myth 1 that you shouldn't believe no more is - "Oily Skin Doesn’t Need Moisturizer"
If you think skipping moisturizer will make your skin less oily, think again. When your skin isn’t properly hydrated, it actually produces more oil to compensate—hello, clogged pores and breakouts.
How to fix? Use a lightweight, non-greasy moisturizer that hydrates without making you shiny. Our Ultra-Light Liquid Moisturizer absorbs fast, keeps oil in check, and gives your skin 24-hour hydration. No grease, no shine—just balanced, happy skin.
Myth number 2 is "Higher SPF = Better Protection"
SPF 50 blocks 98% of UV rays, while SPF 30 blocks 97% - the difference is small. What really matters is applying enough and reapplying often. Even the highest SPF won’t work if you don’t use it properly.
How to fix? Use two fingers worth of sunscreen and reapply every 2 hours.
Next is "More Steps = Better Skincare"
A 10-step routine isn’t necessarily better. Overloading your skin can cause irritation and breakouts.
How to fix? Keep it simple - cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen are your essentials. If you want to add extras, introduce actives slowly and focus on what your skin actually needs. Quality > Quantity!
Myth #4 is "Double Cleansing Is Only for Makeup Wearers"
Your skin collects dirt, oil, and pollution daily - even if you don’t wear makeup. Double cleansing ensures everything comes off.
How to fix? Start with an oil-based cleanser, like our Cleansing Jelly Oil, to dissolve sunscreen and excess oil. Follow up with a gentle face wash, like our Refreshing Facial Wash, which cleanses without stripping your skin.
What about "Exfoliate Every Day for Glowing Skin" ?
Exfoliating daily can damage your skin barrier, causing irritation, redness, and breakouts.
How to fix? Stick to 2-3 times per week, depending on your skin type. If using AHAs or BHAs, listen to your skin - more isn’t always better! Sensitive skin? Opt for a gentle exfoliant.
And the last myth for today's is "Natural = Always Better"
Just because something is “natural” doesn’t mean it’s good for your skin. Some natural ingredients, like tea tree oil and essential oils, can be irritating.
The Truth!? It’s all about the formulation. Both natural and synthetic ingredients can be effective or harmful - so choose products that work for your skin and always do a patch test.
