Myths and Facts about Skincare

In the quest for healthy and radiant skin, we often come across contradictory information about facial care. To clarify doubts and demystify concepts, the Dermagius blog presents a detailed analysis of some of the most common myths and truths about skincare. We will separate fact from fiction and offer practical tips for a more effective routine.

Myths and Truths about Skin

Myth 1: Hot water opens pores

Truth: Hot water does not open pores; on the contrary, it can dry out the skin. Use lukewarm water during facial cleansing to avoid damage. Opt for gentle products to cleanse and balance the skin without irritating it.

Myth 2: Washing your face several times a day is better

Truth: Excessive cleansing can strip the skin of its natural oils, causing imbalances and dryness. Wash your face a maximum of twice a day with a product suitable for your skin type.

Myth 3: Sunscreen is only necessary in summer

Truth: UV rays are present all year round, even on cloudy or winter days. Daily use of sunscreen is essential to prevent skin damage and premature ageing. Choose a light-textured sunscreen suitable for your skin type.

Myth 4: Makeup harms the skin

Truth: It's not the makeup that causes harm, but rather the use of unsuitable products or incomplete removal. Use quality makeup that cares for the skin and remove it completely at the end of the day.

Myth 5: Alcohol effectively dries out pimples

Truth: Although it dries temporarily, alcohol excessively dries out the skin, which can cause irritation. Opt for specific acne products that control oiliness without irritating the skin.

Myth 6: Only those with dry skin need moisturiser

Truth: All skin types need hydration. Even oily skin can suffer from dryness if not properly moisturised. Choose moisturisers appropriate for your skin's needs.

Myth 7: Face masks are just a luxury

Truth: Face masks can be a valuable addition to your weekly routine, helping to hydrate, purify, or revitalise the skin, according to your needs.
