💡 10 Skincare Myths Busted

1) Myth: Oily skin doesn’t need moisturizer

Busted: All skin types need hydration. Skipping moisturizer can actually trigger more oil production.

2) Myth: The higher the SPF, the better the protection

Busted: SPF 30–50 is enough if applied properly and reapplied. Technique > numbers.

3) Myth: Natural products are always safer

Busted: Natural doesn’t always mean gentle — poison ivy is “natural”! Safe formulations matter more.

4) Myth: You don’t need sunscreen on cloudy days

Busted: Up to 80% of UV rays penetrate clouds. Daily SPF is non-negotiable.

5) Myth: Expensive products are always better

Busted: Price ≠ performance. Some affordable K-beauty serums outperform luxury creams.

6) Myth: You can shrink pores

Busted: Pore size is genetic. You can minimize appearance, but not physically shrink them.

7) Myth: Tingling means it’s working

Busted: Tingling usually = irritation, not effectiveness (unless it’s mild vitamin C or spicules like VT Reedle Shot).

8) Myth: You must exfoliate daily

Busted: Over-exfoliation damages the barrier. 1–2 times a week is enough for most skin.

9) Myth: Anti-aging is only for mature skin

Busted: Prevention is key. Starting retinol, peptides, and antioxidants in your late 20s–30s pays off.

10) Myth: More products = better results

Busted: It’s about the right products, not the most. A simple, consistent routine always wins.
