Skincare Scams I’m Not Buying Into

Propaganda i'm not falling for

1. Expensive skin care = better results

Don't follow the hype, follow the science. Most products which are priced very high have been done so due to the marketing spend.  Search for products with good ingredients, consult your doctors to find best products

2. More steps = better skin

You may be over doing it, so you can expect skin irritation if your skin is sensitive. Not all products/ingredients get along with each other

3. Cosmetic treatments make you look fake

When done in the most subtle way, keeping in mid your lifestyle and requirement it can definitely enhance and boost your confidence

4. No need sunscreens indoor

Please just apply your sunscreen everyday no matter where you are, you can thank me later

5. Lasers can fix everything

Lasers are of various types, they require multiple sessions and often are combined with other treatment modalities and also a good skincare routine.

6. Natural is better

Not always because it can make your skin photosensitive, it's not regulated by guidelines and its safety and efficacy has not be studied in labs

7. Using toothpaste on acne

May cause overdrying, chemical burns, redness and inflammation

8. Botox in a bottle

No cream or serum can match the effectiveness or mechanism of action of actual botulinum toxin injections

9. Face yoga reverses age

Its overstated and unsupported by science

10. Sunscreen are harmful

Definitely a click-bait headline by “clean beauty” influencers
