If you’ve ever had skin issues, you know how demoralizing it can be to try numerous skincare routines and have them fail over and over again. It’s also acutely painful when these skincare routines seem to work for everyone but not you. Here are some skincare scams you need to stop adhering to.
Popular Skincare Scams That You Need To Stop Doing
Many of these skincare scams will be familiar to you, if you have ever needed a skin issue cleared. Most people in these situations tend to hope for the best, and keep applying these products even when these skincare routines show clear signs that they won’t do anything on your skin.
Angela Mavalla who popularly refers to herself as a skinfluencer compiled this list, and these are the most popular ones that almost everyone will relate with. In no particular order, here are the skincare scams you need to stop believing.
“No pain, no gain”
This doesn’t rule does not apply to skincare. Whilst it is true for almost everything else, it definitely does not apply to skincare. Your skin is supposed to feel supple and hydrated after your skincare routine and not like it’s been at the gym working out.
“Hydrating Oils”
Oils cannot hydrate, therefore this is not only a skincare scam but also a lie. Hydration comes from moisture and as such the chemical composition of oils means that they can’t add moisture to the skin. Their job is to retain moisture by acting as a sealant.
“All In One Products Are Better”
Off the last skincare scam, this is necessary to know. Most products that are labelled as a mixture of two major skincare products only do one thing. For example, exfoliating toners. The job of a toner isn’t to exfoliate. A toner typically helps to adjust the pH of your skin after washing your face. It has nothing to do with shedding dead skin from your face. So an exfoliating toner is actually just an exfoliant.
“Expensive Skincare Products Are Better Than Drugstore Products”
Many people associate expensive skincare products with better results and cheaper drugstore products with worse results. This is simply not true. There are many affordable skincare products that are great for your skin.
