When it comes to skincare, there’s a lot of information floating around, and not all of it is accurate. Skincare myths can be misleading and may lead to less-than-ideal choices for your skin. In this blog, we’re here to debunk some of the most common skincare myths and replace them with evidence-based facts to help you make informed decisions about your skincare routine.

Myth 1: You Only Need Sunscreen on Sunny Days

*Fact:* Sunscreen should be a daily essential, regardless of the weather. UV rays can penetrate clouds (and windows) and cause skin damage, including premature aging and an increased risk of skin cancer. Make sunscreen a non-negotiable step in your morning routine.

Myth 2: Oily Skin Doesn’t Need Moisturizer

*Fact:* All skin types, including oily skin, benefit from moisturization. Skipping moisturizer can actually lead to increased oil production as your skin tries to compensate for the lack of hydration. Opt for a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer like our CBD Repair Daily Moisturizer. CBD may regulate your oil production for a more balanced skin barrier.

Myth 3: Acne is Only a Teenager’s Problem

*Fact:* Acne can affect people of all ages. Adult acne is a common concern. Its causes can include hormonal changes, stress, and lifestyle factors. Effective treatments are available for adults dealing with acne like our Aerolase laser, BioRePeel and Top Shelf Clarifying Facial. 

Myth 4: Popping Pimples is the Best Way to Get Rid of Them

*Fact:* Popping pimples can lead to infection, scarring, and more breakouts. It’s best to leave the job of extracting pimples to us professionals who can do it safely and hygienically.

Myth 5: More Products = Better Results

*Fact:* A skincare routine doesn’t need to be extensive to be effective. Overloading your skin with too many products can lead to irritation. Focus on a few key products that address your specific skin concerns.  We can help choose them for you!

Myth 6: Skincare Can Completely Erase Wrinkles and Fine Lines

*Fact:* While skincare can improve the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, it can’t completely erase them. For more dramatic results, consider our more professional treatments like Aerolase laser combined with BioRePeel.

Myth 7: You Don’t Need a Nighttime Skincare Routine

*Fact:* Nighttime is when your skin goes into repair mode. A nighttime skincare routine is essential for providing your skin with the necessary ingredients to rejuvenate and regenerate while you sleep.
