Expensive creams, natural ingredients, stinging serums, daily exfoliation, no SPF in winter...
-
Which of these is actually true?
-
Which myths are harmful to your skin in the long term?
-
And what should you rely on instead?
Here you will find the answers – well-founded and easy to understand:
Myth 1: Oily skin doesn't need moisture
Many people with oily or blemished skin consciously avoid creams to prevent shine and impurities. However, all skin needs moisture – regardless of skin type.
When skin lacks water, it often reacts with increased sebum production. This can lead to clogged pores, inflammation, and an unbalanced complexion.
Even oily skin benefits from light, non-comedogenic formulations that hydrate without feeling heavy.
Conclusion:
Moisture is essential for all skin types – even oily skin.
Myth 2: Natural ingredients are automatically better
"Natural" is often equated with particularly gentle. However, not every plant-based ingredient is automatically skin-friendly. Essential oils, plant extracts, or fragrances can irritate sensitive skin.
At the same time, many modern active ingredients of synthetic origin are excellently researched, stable and very well tolerated.
What matters is not the origin, but the quality and formulation of a product.
Conclusion:
The effectiveness comes from well-thought-out formulas – not solely from naturalness.
Myth 3: Burning means that a product is working
A tingling or burning sensation is often interpreted as a sign of effectiveness. In reality, it usually signals skin irritation or a disrupted barrier function.
Long-term irritation can lead to redness, dryness, sensitization, and premature skin aging.
Well-formulated skincare products work without unpleasant side effects.
Conclusion:
Effective skincare feels pleasant – not painful.
Myth 4: Sunscreen is only necessary in summer
Many people only use SPF in direct sunlight. However, UV radiation also has an effect when it's cloudy, in winter, and through window glass.
It is one of the main causes of premature skin aging, pigment spots and loss of elasticity.
Daily sun protection is therefore one of the most important steps in modern skincare.
Conclusion:
SPF is part of the care routine all year round.
Myth 5: Expensive products automatically work better
A high price is often equated with high effectiveness. In practice, however, the formulation determines the quality of a product.
Important factors include:
- Active ingredient selection
- concentration
- Bioavailability
- Stability of the formulation
A product can be effective – regardless of the price tag.
Conclusion:
Quality comes from science, not marketing.
Why skincare myths can harm your skin
If you consistently base your decisions on false assumptions, this can lead to problems in the long run:
- Weakened skin barrier
- Increased sensitivity
- Lack of moisture
- impurities
- Premature signs of aging
A sound skincare routine is based on skin physiology, barrier protection, and individual adaptation.
Conclusion: Knowledge protects your skin
Healthy skin is not created by trends or promises, but by sound understanding and consistent care.
By questioning myths and relying on scientifically developed natural cosmetics, you support your skin in remaining balanced, resilient and well-cared for in the long term.
Skincare is not an experiment – it's an investment in your skin health.
