Skincare Myths Debunked: What Your Skin Really Needs

In the ever-evolving world of skincare, misinformation can spread just as quickly as the latest beauty trend. To help you make informed decisions, we are shedding light on three common skincare myths that could be standing between you and healthy, radiant skin.

Oily Skin Doesn’t Need Moisturizer – False!

One of the most persistent myths is that oily or acne-prone skin should be kept dry. In reality, skipping moisturizer can lead to even more oil production, as your skin tries to compensate for dehydration. The solution? Lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizers that hydrate without clogging pores. Proper hydration helps balance oil levels and supports a strong, healthy skin barrier.

Over-Exfoliating Will Smooth Your Skin – Until It Doesn’t

While exfoliation can leave skin feeling smooth and refreshed, overdoing it can cause real harm. Scrubbing too often — or using harsh products — can weaken your skin’s protective barrier, leading to redness, irritation, and sensitivity. The best approach? Limit exfoliation to 1–2 times per week, and always follow with calming, hydrating products to promote recovery.

Sunscreen Is Only for Sunny Days – What if you were wrong?

Many believe sunscreen is only necessary in summer or on sunny days. The truth is, UVA rays are present all year long, even on cloudy days and through windows. These rays contribute to premature aging and skin damage. To protect your skin daily, make broad-spectrum SPF a year-round habit, not just a seasonal one.
