Skincare advice is everywhere. From TikTok hacks to age old beauty tips passed down through generations, it can be hard to know what to believe. That is why we are setting the record straight with some of the biggest skincare myths that just will not die, and what you should actually be doing instead.
Myth 1: Shaving Makes Hair Grow Back Thicker
It might feel like your hair is thicker after shaving, but that is just because it grows back with a blunt edge. Shaving does not change the colour, thickness or growth rate of your hair. So, if smooth skin is your thing, shave away without worry.
Myth 2: You Only Need SPF on Sunny Days
UV rays are sneaky. Even when it is cloudy, they can damage your skin. Wearing SPF daily, especially on your face, helps protect against premature ageing and sun damage. And don’t forget, some makeup products include SPF too, an easy way to build extra protection into your daily routine.
Myth 3: Oily Skin Does Not Need Moisturiser
Skipping moisturiser can actually make oily skin worse. When your skin is dehydrated, it can produce more oil to compensate. Our Erase & Rewind Moisturiser is a great option for plump, fresh-looking skin without the heaviness. Pair it with our Brighten & Hydrate Serum to boost hydration and glow in one go. Hydrating your skin keeps it balanced, calm and looking its best.
Myth 4: You Should Exfoliate Every Day
Daily exfoliation can actually do more harm than good, especially when it comes to your body. Overdoing it can strip your skin of its natural oils and cause irritation. Instead, stick to exfoliating 1 to 2 times a week. Use something gentle and effective, like our Hydrate & Exfoliate Body Bar with natural Coconut Husk or our Dead Sea Scrub, both designed to smooth skin, unclog pores and give you that post festival fresh feeling without the fuss.
Myth 5: Natural Products Are Always Better
Not all natural ingredients are gentle and not all synthetic ones are bad. What matters most is how a product is formulated. Always patch test, read your labels and stick with what works for your skin.
Cut through the noise
Skincare should not be confusing. If in doubt, keep it simple: cleanse, shave, hydrate and protect. Choose quality products, listen to your skin and do not believe everything you hear on the internet.
