Top 4 Skincare Myths

Over the years I have heard many things about how to have great skin and some of them have been true like wear sunscreen and don’t pop your pimples. But there have been some I have questioned over the years. These are addressed in a book I read not long ago “Write Your Skin a Prescription for Change," by Dr. Katie Rodan, M.D. and Dr. Kathy Fields, M.D. The doctors give the top 4 skincare myths they have heard over the years. The first one is my favorite.

Seriously people think drinking 8 glasses of water will fix anything... now the 4 myths...

1 - “I need to drink at least 8 glasses of water 💦 a day for my skin.” No, you don’t. The outside humidity determines how dry your skin will be. You need only 91 ounces of fluid a day and that can come from drink and food. Over Hydration can cause you to flush essential vitamins and electrolytes from your bloodstream.

2 - “90 percent of sun damage is done before I am 18 so it doesn’t matter what I do to my skin as an adult.”  No, sun damage to your skin continues as an adult. While 1 sunburn as a child can double your chance of developing skin cancer as an adult, you always need to protect yourself from UV rays.

3 - “I have oily skin, so I will age well.”  No, many factors play into how your skin ages and skin type doesn’t really make much of a difference.

4 - “Facial exercises will lift my skin.” No, sorry you can’t fight gravity. Sad news I know. I wish we could. The more you move your face, the deeper those lines get. Best not to force it with exercise, you are only making yourself look old.
