Common Skin Care Myths You Need to Stop Believing

According to SAEDNEWS, Facial skin health and radiance have a significant impact on our appearance, which is why many people follow various skincare recommendations to enhance their beauty. However, this can be a mistake because sometimes some of these recommendations are completely wrong and can lead to numerous skin problems. In the following section, you will read about some common mistakes and misconceptions regarding skin beauty.

Common Skin Care Myths

Only fair-skinned people need sunscreen

Everyone, whether they have fair or dark skin, needs sunscreen. Sunscreen protects the skin from the harmful rays of the sun, so it is important to use it even on non-sunny days.

Oily skin doesn't need a moisturizer

Many people believe that a moisturizer will make their skin oilier, but this is not true. In fact, people who let their skin dry out will end up with oilier skin because the skin produces more oil to compensate for the dryness.

Tanning reduces acne

Many people believe that tanning prevents acne, but this is just a myth. Even with a tan, acne can still occur on the skin.

Popping pimples makes them heal faster

Some people believe that popping pimples helps them heal quicker, but it is advised not to touch or squeeze pimples. Doing so can worsen the infection, cause more blockage, swelling, redness, and even lead to scarring on the skin.

Lemon juice balances the skin's pH

Lemon is one of the best fruits for health and contains a lot of vitamin C, which is beneficial for the skin. Some people rub lemon on their skin to brighten and balance it, but this is a mistake. If your skin is sensitive or dry, applying lemon can irritate it and cause further dryness.

Acne is not common in adults

Acne is not only common in teenagers; it can also occur in adults due to hormonal imbalances, stress, or the use of incorrect products.

You should use toner

For a complete cleanse, washing your face with a gentle cleanser and water is sufficient, and you don't necessarily need a toner.

Use exfoliators frequently

Exfoliating more than twice a week is not recommended, as over-exfoliating can cause more damage to the skin.

Sleeping with makeup is not a problem

Sleeping with makeup can clog pores and lead to acne.

Hot water is good for the skin

Hot water is harmful to the skin as it strips away all the natural and essential oils, causing dryness.
