Truth About Common Skin Care Myths

If you are in pursuit of a healthy skincare regimen to enhance your physical appearance, you must have come across conflicting information on the internet. While this trend seems to be on the increase, don’t forget we are always available to help clear things up.

In the spirit of doing so, kindly join us in this blog as we deep-dive into 5 common skincare myths you should stop believing and the truths or facts about them. Should you need further clarifications after reading through, you can also ask our professionals online.

Now, let’s get down to business.

Myth #1 – Natural Ingredients Are Always Safer and Effective

Due to this myth, there’s been an overall increase in demand for natural skin care products in the charade of maintaining “chemical-free” skin. The truth is, while natural ingredients can be very effective on the skin, that does not mean they are always the better option.

In some cases, synthetic ingredients are found to be effective and safer because not all natural ingredients may be good for your skin. There have been cases of people developing allergic reactions or irritation after using an organic product.

So, we highly recommend choosing products based on their efficacy and suitability for your skin. Alternatively, you may use products that contain both natural and chemical-based ingredients, such as our revolutionary Blanco Cream.
Myth #2 – You Should Wash Your Face Multiple Times a Day

Under this myth, you can find other related misconceptions such as; not washing your face regularly causes acne, your skin can only get cleaner if you scrub more, you need to scrub or wash your face with hot water to get cleaner, etc.

The truth is hygiene does not contribute to the development of acne. What majorly causes acne is excess produced sebum clogging pores with bacteria. While constantly washing the skin is good for keeping dirt and impurities off, overdoing it can strip the skin of its natural oil.

Hence, that may lead to issues such as dryness, irritation, disrupted skin barrier, etc. When dealing with clients, we recommend cleansing twice a day – in the morning and before bed. Also, ensure to use a suitable gentle cleanser such as Blanco Purifying Facial Cleanser.
Myth #3 – Anti-Aging Products Are Only for Mature Skin

Aside from aging due to advancement in age, it’s still possible to prematurely develop aging signs at an earlier stage due to certain factors, such as stress, poor diet, smoking, etc. Hence, how you manage your skin determines what your skin will look like, regardless of your age.

It’s never too early to start using anti-aging products. Just like the popular saying goes; prevention is always better than cure. Don’t wait till you get to your 50s or 60s before you start paying attention to anti-aging skincare routines. Why not start now?

Incorporate anti-aging ingredients like antioxidants and SPFs to prevent early signs of aging and keep your skin ever-youthful. In case you don’t have one in your routine, our Anti-Aging Serum is a good play to start. It nourishes and keeps the skin fresh.

Myth #4 – You Shouldn’t Use Oil on Acne-Prone Skin

Although this may sound right, it is not true. The fact is, there are several oils that can be suitable for acne-prone skin. You just need to find the right ones. Generally, it’s always best to stick with non-comedogenic oils that won’t clog your pores or trigger breakouts.

For instance, jojoba and tea oil are known to be beneficial to acne-prone skin. They can help balance oil production and reduce inflammation in the skin. Aside from that, adding oil to your skincare routine will help protect your skin from dryness or dehydration.

Since excessive production is one of the major issues for acne-prone skin, we recommend using Control Serum PH 5.5. This product moisturizes while controlling your skin’s sebum production.
Myth #5 – The More Costly, The Better the Product Works

Sadly, this is one of the common misconceptions and reasons why people prefer popular skincare brands with expensive price tags. They believe if a brand is popular and expensive that means their product will work wonders on their skin. Not true!

The fact is, price range does not determine the effectiveness of a product. Although it may seem hard to believe, affordable skincare products might work better on your skin compared to expensive ones. What determines the efficiency of a product is the ingredients.

Instead of going for popularity or price tags, consider the quality of the product formulation. Check for ingredients and possibly consider verified testimonials by the brand which you can fully find on our website or social media handles.
