People often ask me whether or not they\u2019re doing their skincare regimen correctly and what they should be using. With so many beauty blogs and tips out there it\u2019s sometimes difficult to figure out what is actually good sagely advice and what are essentially beauty myths. Below are 7 of the most common beauty myths and the truth behind each one! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

1.Do you really need an eye cream? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The skin around your eye area is more delicate compared to the rest of your face and is able to absorb product better so you definitely want to invest in a product that will provide you with hydration without irritating the skin. Depending on what your key concerns are, whether it\u2019s dark circles or fine lines, look out for an eye cream that has ingredients that can provide targeted solutions. The eye can really benefit from a cream that contains antioxidants which protect your skin from free radicals and premature aging from air pollution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

2. Do you really need shampoo before you condition? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve all been ingrained to think that we need to shampoo before conditioning, cleansing before moisturizing, but that\u2019s not true for everyone! If your hair is more on the dry side, it\u2019s okay if you want to skip the shampoo and condition instead. Alternatively, you can also condition before shampooing since that will prevent stripping too many oils away from your hair. It\u2019s always a good idea to be kind to your hair and use a gentle shampoo that doesn\u2019t contain any harsh sulfates and also adds moisture in at the same time like our popular Matcha Mint Shampoo! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

3. Do you really need an 11 step Korean skincare routine? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

K Beauty is\nall the rage right now but having an 11 step over a 3 step skincare routine\ndoesn\u2019t necessarily mean that your beauty regimen is better or more effective\njust because you are using more ingredients. It\u2019s more important to use\nproducts that work for your skin type and your needs rather than meticulously\nfollowing a regimen that might take you an hour to complete! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off I\nwould recommend using a gentle cleanser that can also remove make up and grime.\nStarting off with a clean face is really going to help your serum and\nmoisturizer absorb more effectively in the skin. I would also recommend using a\ncleansing sponge like a bamboo charcoal sponge which contains antioxidants to\nhelp detox and clarify the skin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Follow up\nwith a moisturizer that helps combat your key concerns. Whether you\u2019re prone to\nbreakouts or are looking for a product that contains ingredients to help you unwind\nthe clock, make sure to do some research into what you\u2019re putting onto your\nskin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, use\nclean beauty products and invest in your skin health! So many products are full\nof fragrance and parabens that do nothing for your skin. Use databases like\nEWG\u201ds Skin Deep and discover personal care products that will actually benefit\nyou and your loved ones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of our favorite customer products is our Face Food Mineral Mist. Unlike other facial sprays, it contains no fragrance at all, just skin benefiting minerals that will improve your skin over time and help with redness and inflammation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

4. Do I still need to moisturize if I have oily skin? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you read\nthe ingredient label of a product and it contains oil that doesn\u2019t necessarily\nmean you should be avoiding it if you are oily or acne prone. Acne is caused by\nhormonal changes which can lead to an excess of oil production but using a\nharsh cleanser can actually make the problem worst. If you are stripping away\ntoo many oils from your skin, it will actually produce more! Look out for\nmoisturizers that contain pH balancing and acne fighting ingredients like white\nwillow bark and apple cider vinegar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. When should I throw away a skincare product? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Products\nwill usually contain a best before date to give you a general idea of when it\nwas first created but the best way to see if a product has spoiled is to pump\nit out and give it a sniff. If you notice a change in color, smell, and\nconsistency it\u2019s time to say goodbye. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Does putting skincare products in the fridge make them last longer? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since you\u2019re storing products at a cooler temperature, this can extend their shelf life but all this really does is create a cooling effect when applied which will benefit those with irritated or inflamed skin. Whether you store your products at room temperature or in the fridge, the potency of the ingredients don\u2019t change just because it\u2019s chilled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Do I apply serum before or after moisturizing? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a\ngeneral rule of thumb, apply serum before your moisturizer. Serums contain more\npotent actives that are able to penetrate a bit deeper into your skin and\nprovide nourishment with phytonutrients, vitamins and minerals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

People often forget to massage their serum in. It\u2019s generally advised to apply dots of your serum onto different areas of your face, allowing the product to sink in and fully absorb before moving onto your moisturizer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
