The beauty world can be a terrifying place. Every scroll brings a new “miracle” hack or “life-changing” product that promises to transform your skin overnight. But behind the spooky claims, there are some proper skincare horror stories. Let’s separate the facts from the frights and give your skin the TLC it deserves.
👻 Myth 1: “You don’t need SPF when it’s cloudy."
If you can see daylight, UV rays can see you. Clouds only block around 20% of UV rays, which means your skin’s still exposed even when the sun’s playing hide-and-seek. SPF isn’t just for summer holidays, it’s your year-round protection against ageing and pigmentation. Think of it as your daily invisibility cloak against damage.
🧟♀️ Myth 2: “Oily skin doesn’t need moisturiser.”
Wrong. Stripping your skin of moisture only makes it panic-produce more oil, leaving you shiny and dehydrated. The trick? Lightweight hydration that balances without clogging. Your skin barrier will thank you.
🎃 Myth 3: “Natural means better.”
We love a botanical moment, but “natural” doesn’t always mean safe or effective. Some natural ingredients can irritate or clog pores. The real glow-up happens when nature meets science, think gentle formulas that actually work.
🧴 Myth 4: “Exfoliate every day for glowing skin.”
More isn’t always more. Over-exfoliating can damage your skin barrier faster than you can say “pumpkin spice.” Stick to two or three times a week max, and always follow with hydration to keep your glow without the grit.
🍬 The Treat: Real skincare that works.
Skip the scary stuff. Stick with simple, effective products like our Illuminate & Rejuvenate for a deep clean, our Hydrate & Nourish: Hyaluronic Acid Serum to lock in moisture, and our Nourish & Protect: Body Butter to keep things smooth and soft.
No tricks, just great skin.
