Myth #1: More Exfoliation Equals Better Skin

Over-exfoliating strips your skin’s natural barrier, leading to irritation, dryness, and breakouts. A good rule of thumb is two to three times per week with a gentle exfoliant.

Myth #2: Drinking Water Alone Hydrates Your Skin

While hydration is important, drinking water alone won’t fix dry skin. Moisturizers with hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and peptides are essential for locking in hydration and maintaining a healthy skin barrier.

Myth #3: Natural Skincare Is Always Better

Many "clean" or "natural" products lack scientifically backed ingredients like retinol, peptides, and vitamin C, which are essential for anti-aging and skin health. Medical-grade skincare delivers proven results without unnecessary fillers.
