Skincare Myths Busted: What TikTok Got Wrong

Myth 1: “If it burns, it’s working.”

• Reality: A burning or stinging sensation signals irritation or even inflammation. Your skin shouldn't feel uncomfortable.
  
  
• What to Do Instead: Choose soothing, non-irritating products. The Soft as Marshmallow Cleansing Gel contains eucalyptus, menthol, and zinc to calm while gently cleansing, perfect for sensitive skin after exposure to harsh ingredients.
  
  

Myth 2: “Oily skin doesn’t need moisturizer.”

• Reality: Skipping moisturizer leads to dehydration. When your skin feels dry, it overproduces oil—one step forward, two steps back.
  
  
• Best Pick: Try the No Way, No Acne  Face Cream for Acneic Skin with Propolis Extract, Icelandic Lichen, and Flavonoids. It’s light, non-comedogenic, and helps regulate oil while hydrating: designed for oily, acne-prone complexions.
  
  

Myth 3: “Exfoliate every day for perfect skin.”

• Reality: Over-exfoliating damages the skin barrier. This leads to redness, dryness, and more acne.
  
  
• Smart Approach: Use exfoliating products only 1–2 times per week. The Clean It Like a Boss exfoliating cleansing gel combines salicylic acid, zinc, and bilberry extract to gently detox pores and reduce inflammation without overdoing it .
  
  

Myth 4: “More product = better results.”

• Reality: We know TikTok is big on the 7-10 step skincare routine, but piling on tons of serums and creams can cause ingredient interactions or clog pores. Simple routines with effective actives work best.
  
  
• Brand Tip: Try a targeted routine: cleanse with your favourite cleanser, exfoliate weekly, moisturize with acne-appropriate cream. Feel calmer and brighter, without a never ending morning and evening routine!
  
  

Myth 5: “DIY treatments are harmless.”

• Reality: Natural ingredients like lemon, baking soda, or toothpaste can damage your skin barrier and alter your skin’s pH.
  
  
• Safer Swap: Use clinically-tested masks. Too Pure to Be True face mask includes natural antioxidants and soothing botanicals like matcha, making it much safer and more effective than a harsh DIY remedy.
