October is full of tricks and treats—but when it comes to your skin, we want you to skip the scary stuff. 🕸️ Too often, spooky skincare myths creep into routines and cause more harm than good. Let’s shine a light on some of the most common myths that haunt healthy skin and set the record straight. 👻
👻 Myth #1: “The more you exfoliate, the better.”
Over-exfoliating can actually haunt your skin barrier—leading to irritation, redness, and even breakouts. Gentle and consistent is always more effective than aggressive scrubbing.
🧛 Myth #2: “You don’t need SPF on cloudy days.”
UV rays lurk like vampires—even when you can’t see the sun. Up to 80% of UV rays still penetrate clouds, which means SPF is a daily must.
🕷️ Myth #3: “If it burns, it’s working.”
That tingling sensation can actually be your skin crying for help, not a sign of effectiveness. The right treatments should feel soothing, not scary.
🪞 Myth #4: “Skincare works instantly.”
Like a slow-brewing potion, real results take time. Most treatments need weeks (sometimes months) of consistency to show visible changes.
🦇 Myth #5: “Natural products can’t cause irritation.”
Poison ivy is natural too. Just because something is “natural” doesn’t mean it’s safe for every skin type.
Don’t let spooky skincare myths trick you this season—book a consultation and treat yourself to science-backed skincare.
