Skincare Myth Busters
You can use all of the skincare products under the sun and still have blemishes. The small details of a skincare routine make a profound difference in the appearance of your complexion. Here are four skincare myths that must be debunked!
Use dye-free towels to dry your skin
Although dye-free towels are way better for your face and decolletage than colored towels, all towels stored in your bathroom change temperature + collect moisture during different times of the day. Topical products penetrate better when the skin is damp. After washing, pat your skin damp, and if you must use a secondary product, gently press a paper towel on your face to remove excess moisture.
Cleanse throughout the day
We are all about an intricate nighttime skincare routine! Although, in the morning, you should keep is simple with a nonfoaming cleanser, vitamin C serum, and an SPF moisturizer. Even three steps in the morning can be too much for individuals with sensitive skin! Limit the amount of attention you give to your skin with one complex reimage and a straightforward morning routine.

Use hot water to wash off dirt + bacteria
Hot water has the potential to be extremely damaging for the face, especially in the winter months. To avoid dry skin and over-moisturizing, use lukewarm water.
Introduce all new products at once
Skincare is trending right now, and with all these new products emerging, it can become very alluring to buy a haul and test everything out. The best possible way to introduce new products to your routine is to apply one new product every three weeks. If you have a new moisturizer you want to try, stick to your full complete method, and only switch out the moisturizer. That way, if your skin develops an adverse reaction, you know which product caused the flare-up.
When it comes to skincare, thoughtfulness is critical. The products you utilize (including drying your face) should work in harmony to give you your best glowing complexion! You do not what to be too harsh or careless with your moneymaker, so keep it soft and keep it simple. Want to know more ways you could be doing more harm than good?
