Was reading Cleo and found these skincare myths that I have to share with the world as I have always believed in them as well. But here comes the blockbusters team to the rescue - capture the evils and free the good.
Myth 1: The more times in a day you use an acne cleanser, the more effective it is.
Blockbuster: If the product you use contains active ingredients such as retinol, AHAs, salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide or vitamic C, then it's best to follow the less-is-more principle. Applied in excess, these potent ingredients can irritate your skin instead of treating it.
Myth 2: Layering SPF equals higher levels of sun protection.
Blockbuster: Wearing a SPF 50 on top of a SPF 10 won't give you a total of SPF 60. You will only be protected up to the highest SPF you've layered on, so don't be fooled.
Myth 3: If you haven't opened it yet, it's still safe to use skincare from 2007.
Blockbuster: In general, preservatives stay stable for one yaer. After this, the product becomes susceptible to bacteria. Also, active ingredients do breakdown over time and become ineffective.
