- It seems like saying all your cloths should come from the same shop. You may find that you prefer one company's cleanser and another's toner or moisturiser. That's fine. Use what you feel happiest with. Mixing them is no worse than wearing GUESS jeans and a DKNY top.
2. Water is the only cleanser you need if you dint wear make-up.
- Water is great for refreshing your skin, but it won't clean it and most of the grime will just end up on your towel. You need something that will dissolve oil and lift off the dirt, which water wont.
3. The black stuff on your cotton is all dirt.
- It always look horrible and is a great sales techniques for skincare consultant, especially when your skin wipe with toner. Some of the gunk is dirt, but the rest is old make-up, dead skin cells, and grease, which shows up dark against the cotton wool.
4. Anti-ageing creams get rid of wrinkles.
- All they can really do is slow down the signs of ageing by nourishing your skin and protecting it from dehydration and sun damage. Whatever the claims, they simply can't reverse the ageing process.
5. The more cream you put on the better.
- If you use too much, all you'll end up with is what feels and looks like an oil slick on your face. It might clog up your pores and lead to spots and puffy eyes. Your skin only absorbs what it needs, so start off with a little before you slap it on and waste your money.
- There are many different soaps today and most contain moisturisers to make them less drying than they used to be. Many companies make bath soaps or cleansing bars gentle enough for your face - even for sensitive skins.
7. Regular facials will improve your skin's health.
- A facial is designed to stimulate the circulation, bring out the impurities in your skin, relax you and make you feel pampered. If you think it's going to make a noticeable medical difference to your skin, you're wrong.
8. You don't need moisturisers for oily skin.
- Even oily skin can get a bit dry on the cheeks, so it needs a little help, but nothing too rich. There are lots of light, oil-free moisturishing lotions and gels that are perfect for greasy skins.
9. The only way to get rids of blackheads is squeeze them.
- This should be your last resort. Preper cleansing should keep spots away. But if you do get them, use a spot treament containing denzoyy peroxide to dry them out. Squeezing may just cause more trouble.
10. Natural ranges are best for sensitive skins.
- Using skincare products with plant, herbal and flower extracts sounds great - and they are. But you'd be wrong to think they're ideal for sensitive skin, You're just as likely to react to a plan-based ingredient as to anything that's been made up in laboratory.
11. Flaky patches means you've got dry skin.
- People with greasy skin who've gone mad about cleansing and over-used astringent toner can dry out the top later of their skin, making it look flaky, However, whatever your skin type, scaly patches around the hairline could be dermatitis and flaky patches around the sides of the nose could be eczema. If any of these dry, flaky patches persist, see your doctor.
12. Toner will close pores.
- You can't open and close your pores like a door. The size of your pores depends on your genes and nothing could or should close them for good. Using toner or and astringent lotion makes your skin contract slightly, making your pores look smaller. But this only lasts for a few minutes until your skin goes back to normal.
13. Hypo-allergenic means you won't get allergic reactions.
- Hypo-allergenic means manufacturers have left out ingredients likely to cause an allergic reaction - such as perfume. However, you could still be allergic to one of the other ingredients.
14. Everyone should use a toner.
- Toner is wonderful for removing any last traces of cleansing lotion, but if you don't wear make-up and use a rinse-off facial wash, you won't need a toner.
15. Your skin can never be too clean.
- Many people take the attitude that the more you wash and scrub and the hotter the water is, then the better it is for your skin. In fact, what you're more likely to end up with by doing this is broken veins, red blotches and dry, sensitive skin. Washing your face in the morning and then again in the evening should be all you need, with a gentle facial scrub only once every week or two.
16. Electrical gadgets used in saloons are great for your skin.
- British dermatologist Dr. John Hawk says, "Electrical gadgets, which are used in salons during some facials, can make your skin feel a bit better and probably have a good psychological effect. However, apart from temporary improvement of the circulation, they're not likely to have any long-term beneficial effect."
- People as young as 20 may need to use one. As the skin around your eye is very thin, it's one of the first places to get wrinkles. Skin here has very few oil glands, so it can dry out easily if you don't moisturise. Don't rely on your face cream as it might be too rich and make your eyes puffy.
