Think toothpaste treats pimples or oily skin doesn’t need moisturizer? Think again. Our licensed estheticians in Charlotte debunk the top 5 skincare myths.
MYTH #1: “Oily Skin Doesn’t Need Moisturizer”
Truth: Even oily skin needs hydration.
Skipping moisturizer can trick your skin into producing more oil, leading to breakouts and congestion.
✅ Use a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer instead of skipping it altogether.
MYTH #2: “Toothpaste Can Treat Pimples”
Truth: Toothpaste belongs on your teeth — not your face.
It may dry a pimple temporarily, but it often causes redness, burning, or peeling because it’s not made for skin.
✅ Try a professional spot treatment or book a clearing facial instead.
MYTH #3: “You Don’t Need Sunscreen on Cloudy Days”
Truth: Up to 80% of UV rays still penetrate clouds.
That means even on overcast days in Charlotte, your skin is still exposed to the sun’s damaging effects.
✅ Daily SPF is a must — rain or shine, summer or winter.
MYTH #4: “Natural Products Are Always Safer”
Truth: Natural doesn’t always mean safe or effective.
Poison ivy is “natural” too! Many natural oils can clog pores or cause irritation.
✅ Stick to products recommended by your esthetician based on your skin type — not the label hype.
MYTH #5: “You Only Need Facials if You Have Problem Skin”
Truth: Facials are preventive, not just corrective.
Regular facials improve skin texture, prevent signs of aging, reduce pore size, and keep skin balanced.
✅ Even healthy skin needs maintenance to stay glowing and youthful.
