Debunking Skin Care Myths with Physiogel

One of the things that I’m grateful for as a beauty content creator is I learn important things that save me my skin from further harm and damage like skin care myths. I’m grateful for the times when I rubbed elbows with skin care experts, scientists, renowned dermatologists and skin care experts because they have shaped my skin care knowledge tremendously; and I vowed to share this privilege to my readers since experiencing these because of The Beauty Junkee!

Thankfully, livestreams are a thing now and the barriers between consumers and privileged skin care information and access to skin care experts are starting to come down. One of the brands that are starting to make professional skin care advice more accessible to consumers is Physiogel with their SIS sessions.

Check out these top skin care myths that were debunked in Physiogel’s latest skin care livestream session!

Moisturizers can cause acne.

False, but somewhat true. Moisturizing your skin is a must, but excessive application may cause acne. The extra product just sits on top of your face, which attracts dirt and bacteria. To help avoid breakouts when moisturizing, Dr. Coreen recommends putting on a fast-absorbing product in just the right amount.

Babies don’t need sun protection or moisturization.

False. Babies have super delicate skin that needs protection from UV rays. Babies, especially those 6 months and below, don’t need an elaborate skincare routine, so Dr. Coreen says the best thing that you can do is to use sun-protective methods, like avoiding direct sun exposure and dressing them in protective clothing. To keep their skin moisturized, she also recommends using mild, hydrating cleansers that’ll keep it smooth, soft, and safe from irritants.

Oily skin doesn’t need moisturizers.

False, but it depends. Dr. Coreen emphasized that just because the surface of your skin is oily doesn’t mean your skin cells are not dehydrated. This is what moisturizers address – they hydrate your skin cells, keeping them strong on the inside, and soft outside. The secret is picking a good moisturizer that works with your skin. Your best choice should be a light, fast-absorbing moisturizer without preservatives, fragrances, colorants, ceramides, and other nasties that might do your skin more harm than good!
