5 Common Skincare Misconceptions

[eltd_dropcaps type=”normal” color=”” background_color=””]O[/eltd_dropcaps]ver the years whilst being in the beauty industry as a Beauty Therapist, I have heard a lot of skincare myths that a lot of people genuinely think are true (I was one of them before!). Since I started being around skincare daily, I have found that a lot of these myths are not true and are just misconceptions.

In this post, I’ll be sharing with you 5 common skincare misconceptions that I’ve learnt over the years, which are handy for anyone to know!  

Ingredients That You Need to Incorporate in Your Skincare Regime

[eltd_dropcaps type=”normal” color=”” background_color=””]F[/eltd_dropcaps]ollowing a skincare routine is extremely important, especially now that the colder months are approaching. It doesn’t really matter what skin type you have, there are certain key ingredients you absolutely need to incorporate into your regime. They will be beneficial to your skin in the long run, even if it doesn’t feel like it right now. 

Not only will they make your skin look flawless, but they will also improve the texture of your skin and ultimately reduce signs of ageing. Some of these ingredients will be more beneficial to some skin types than others but nevertheless, they are all amazing to use on a regular basis. 

Create The Perfect Skincare Routine

[eltd_dropcaps type=”normal” color=”” background_color=””]T[/eltd_dropcaps]he benefits of a good skincare routine are endless. Whether you have dry, oily, sensitive or combination skin, a regular routine can completely transform your skin, whilst using only a few key products.  

Your Must-Have Skincare Ingredients

[eltd_dropcaps type=”normal” color=”” background_color=””]S[/eltd_dropcaps]kincare can be very confusing, there are so many different products out on the shelves with different ingredients of scientific names and it can be hard to know which ones are good for your skin and which ones to avoid. Working in the beauty industry as a beauty therapist, I have learnt over the years which skincare ingredients are most beneficial to your skin and now it’s time to share them. 

Should You Be Using Facial Sheet Masks Everyday?

[eltd_dropcaps type=”normal” color=”” background_color=””]H[/eltd_dropcaps]ere in the Western half of the World, sheet masks are still a relatively new addition to our skincare routines and have only just become a common find in Highstreet shops. However, over in the East, sheet masks as we know them in their modern form – made from cotton and doused in Dermatologically tested and professionally formulated serums or ampoules – have been a household favourite for the last few decades. Considering how skincare and other beauty products are received and perceived differently in each country, it’s no surprise the way in which we use sheet masks alternate by country too. 

Why Do I Always Get Pimples In The Same Spot?

[eltd_dropcaps type=”normal” color=”” background_color=””]I[/eltd_dropcaps]f you’ve ever had a pimple come back to haunt you, welcome, because this is the story of my life. And I’ve had enough. On the left side of my face, the right side of my chin, and smack bang in the middle of my forehead are the culprits. Whether it’s once a fortnight, once a month, or once a year, the same pimples keep popping up in the same place and I don’t understand why they won’t just budge. 

The Benefits of Tamanu Oil

[eltd_dropcaps type=”normal” color=”” background_color=””]T[/eltd_dropcaps]here seems to be new trending ingredients popping-up in skincare all the time; some are natural, some are manmade. Though something which unifies them in similarity is the common focus on aiming to improve the appearance of skin which has either aged or been damaged by both environmental and physical external factors.  

Within the last 3 years or so, the K-beauty market has begun to rekindle the appreciation of homegrown ingredients native to Korea itself or South Asia in general. This involves resurfacing ancient natural remedies, which are indeed trustworthy and safe for use; this of course excludes herbal remedies or some aspects of Hanbang (Korean Traditional Medicine/Therapy), which have since been debunked of being beneficial.
