5 Myths And Misconceptions About Skincare

it is important to take care of the skin by  making it feel youthful, radiant, and healthy making it look and feel its best

Everyone has different skincare routines either based on personal beliefs or tattletales from other people but there are various misconceptions about how skincare makes the skin feel.

When caring for the skin, bear in mind that these things don’t determine that the skin is getting the utmost care

Skincare products need to give a burning or tingling sensation
If the product doesn’t get you running for a hand fan, then it is ineffective. This could actually be causing extra damage to your skin because it is not a good sign that something supposed to help you is causing irritation and discomfort. It can also be a result of open sores on the area. Tingling has nothing to do with effectiveness.

Those with Oily skin don’t need to apply lotion or moisturizers
Oily skin happens when the glands in the skin make too much sebum. Sebum is the, oily substance that protects and hydrates the skin, Therefore, sebum is not a replacement for moisturizers. It is just a protection scheme against dehydrated skin and one work of moisturizer is to hydrate the skin. The lesser the moisturizer, the oiler the skin becomes.

Higher Price Equals Better Quality
This is a common misconception that as long as the products cost a lot of money, it has to be very effective. It is not a product that actually does the work but the ingredients used in the products, it will be of great benefit to you if you find out what is found in a product you want to purchase before so as to avoid disappointment.
Skincare products are the only things that keep the skin healthy
While there are products and essentials needed for skincare, there are also healthy lifestyles to achieve beautiful results like eating healthy foods and avoiding unhealthy lifestyles, there are other things that can affect the health of a skin from age to genetics and all others.
It is better to exfoliate the skin regularly

Exfoliation is the removal of dead cells that gives the skin a brighter look and softer feel but it can also be detrimental to the skin as it can destroy the skins protective barrier leaving it open for external harmful irritations and damage. If you want to get an exfoliant, get a gentler one so as to avoid unnecessary damage.
