With so many skincare tips floating around, it’s hard to know what’s fact and what’s fiction. Let’s break down some common skincare myths, and get to the science behind what actually works!

Myth #1: Oily Skin Doesn’t Need Moisture

One of the biggest myths out there is that oily skin can skip the moisturizer. The truth? When skin is stripped of moisture, it often produces more oil to compensate, leading to even oilier skin. Using a lightweight, hydrating moisturizer like our Hyaluronic H2O Crème can help balance oily or combo skin by providing essential moisture without clogging pores. With ingredients like Aloe Vera and Sodium Hyaluronate, it locks in hydration and keeps skin feeling fresh, not greasy.

Myth #2: All Oils Will Clog Your Pores

Not all oils are created equal! Lightweight, non-comedogenic oils like Hemp Oil (found in our Iconic Elixir) can actually help balance the skin’s natural oils, soothe irritation, and even control excess shine. Hemp oil, along with other plant-based oils, can be beneficial for both dry and oily skin types, providing nourishment without clogging pores. So, don’t be afraid to add a little oil to your routine—it’s all about choosing the right one!

Myth #3: Natural Ingredients Are Always Better

While natural ingredients are wonderful, not every natural product is automatically more effective or safer for your skin. Some synthetic ingredients, like Glycolic Acid (a key in our Glycolic Night Crème), can be incredibly beneficial, providing consistent, reliable exfoliation that helps reveal smoother, brighter skin. Nature and science work together to create effective formulas, so don’t shy away from products that blend both.

Myth #4: Exfoliating Every Day is Good for Your Skin

Exfoliating can leave skin feeling smooth and refreshed, but overdoing it can lead to sensitivity and irritation. A balanced approach works best: try a gentle exfoliating serum or cream with Glycolic Acid a few times a week. Our Glycolic Night Crème combines exfoliating acids with soothing ingredients like Aloe and Apricot Kernel Oil, helping to renew skin overnight without over-stripping.

Myth #5: SPF is Only for Sunny Days

UV rays can still affect your skin on cloudy days and even indoors! Protecting your skin daily helps prevent signs of aging and protects from sun damage year-round. Look for products that work well with SPF in your daytime routine, like our Morning Glory Serum—with hydrating and brightening ingredients like Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid to prep your skin perfectly before applying sunscreen.

The key to great skincare isn’t following every new trend or believing every myth—it’s finding what truly works for your skin. The science behind ingredients matters just as much as the routine you create. Embrace what helps your skin feel balanced, comfortable, and healthy, and let the facts guide you to glowing results.
