Fact or Fiction?! Here’s What You Should Know About Your Skin…
“Drinking more water is the answer to dry skin.” Fact or fiction? “Exfoliation guarantees glowing skin.” Fact or fiction? We all read and hear about different skincare myths, but how many of them are actually true and offer real benefits for the everyday woman? There are plenty of quick and convenient ways to boost your skin, from eating the right nutrients to incorporating products that have super ingredients into your skincare routine. Here’s what you should know about your skin…
Problem: Dry skin
Fiction: Drinking more water is the answer to dry skin
Fact: While drinking more water and staying hydrated is beneficial for the everyday woman, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the answer to dry skin. Dry skin is an external problem and should be treated from the outside using the right kind of oils and moisturisers.
Super ingredient to introduce into your daily skincare routine: Products that incorporate super ingredients such as rose are particularly beneficial as rose contains hydration properties which increase the amount of water in skin cells.
Substitute your daily skincare products with the…
- …Rose Oil Blend by Pixi Skintreats for rejuvenating and restoring the skin’s luminosity (AED 150)
- …Rose Tonic by Pixi Skintreats for minimising redness and calming the skin (AED 58)
Problem: Lack of moisture
Fiction: Heavy creams result in more moisture
Fact: Thicker creams don’t always result in more moisture. Many moisturisers offer different benefits; some soften and soothe while others hydrate. It’s not about the thickness of cream, it’s about the type of cream that’s best suited for your skin type.
Natural ingredient to introduce into your daily skincare routine: Your best bet is to use a coconut-based skincare product as coconut contains fatty acids that provide moisturising properties to nourish dry skin.
Substitute your daily skincare products with the…
- …Coconut Face Mask by SEPHORA COLLECTION for nourishing and soothing the skin (AED 25)
- …Coconut Water Cleansing Wipes by SEPHORA COLLECTION for soothing the skin (AED 30)
Problem: Dull skin
Fiction: Exfoliation guarantees glowing skin
Fact: Did you know that too much exfoliating can actually lead to extra oil production? While your face may glow during the first week after exfoliation, you’ll later find that it often becomes even more oily.
Natural ingredient to introduce into your daily skincare routine: Products that incorporate natural ingredients such as ginseng are a great quick fix for this problem as ginseng can revitalise, energise and nourish the skin for a naturally healthy glow.
Substitute your daily skincare products with the…
- …GinZing™ Refreshing Scrub Cleanser by Origins for smoother and brighter skin (AED 90)
- …GinZing™ Peel-off Mask by Origins for refining pores (AED 125)
Problem: Oily skin
Fiction: Extractions are the only way to get rid of blackheads
Fact: While facials that involve extractions will leave your skin feeling flawless in the short-run, the long-term effects are not as positive. After extractions, pores can often fill back up with oil and can even result in scarring.
Natural ingredient to introduce into your daily skincare routine: Incorporating super ingredients like charcoal into your skincare routine is enough to unclog pores, as charcoal can effectively absorb excess oil and purify the pores naturally.
Substitute your daily skincare products with the…
- …Luminizing Black Mask by Boscia for minimising pores and blackheads (AED 125)
- …Charcoal Fiber Mask by SEPHORA COLLECTION for purifying skin and tightening pores (AED 35)
