It can be difficult to recognize fact from fiction when it comes to skin care. You want to look your best, but there is a lot of conflicting information online and in the media. How do you know whether the information you are being given is actually true or not? In this blog, we address common myths about skin care and provide you with the facts to clear up any misconceptions.
Myth: Your Skin Feels Tight After Washing Your Face
Truth
If your skin feels tight or dry after washing your face, then you might be using a cleanser that’s too harsh. Applying a harsh toner or any detergents can cause fine lines and breakouts. It’s better to switch to a creamy cleanser, which contains ingredients such as glycerine, mild surfactants, sodium disodium, cocoyl, glutamate, cocamidopropyl, PG-dimonium, or chloride phosphate. These ingredients wash away makeup and restore moisture to the skin. Aveda products remove makeup, impurities, protects against environmental pollutants, cleans deep down into pores, and is suitable for all skin types.
Myth: Drugstore Products Don’t Work
Truth
According to studies, most anti-aging products contain the same ingredients. For example, most anti-aging products contain retinoids, alpha hydroxy acids, peptides, antioxidants, vitamin C, and green tea. When shopping for products, look for products that advertise fresh, potent ingredients.
Myth: Once You Reach a Certain Age, There’s No Point in Wearing SPF
Truth
Wearing an SPF on your skin is important at every age. Protecting your skin from the harmful rays of the sun will help you to repair previous sun damage. UV rays damage your skin, causing fine lines, wrinkles, and is the main cause of premature aging. To protect your skin properly, always wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or more, as well as UVA blocker. Aveda is one of the highest-quality SPF products on the market to protect your skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays.
Myth: Moisturizing Isn’t Important
Truth
Applying moisturizer to your skin provides a layer of protection from environmental irritants, contains fatty acids, and puts natural oils back into the skin. It helps to rehydrate the skin by helping it to retain water.
Myth: You Should See Results Within the First Few Days
Truth
The best way to determine whether or not a product is working for your skin is to continue using that product for a prolonged period of time. It’s recommended to use a product for about 8 to 10 weeks before seeing results. Keep in mind that every skin type is different and will respond to products differently.
