Shereene Idriss debunks four skincare myths: you don't need a cleanser in the morning, chemical sunscreens can be better than physical ones, some body products work on the face, and silicones don't clog pores.
Number three you need a face cleanser in the morning. That's not true. Not everybody needs to cleanse their face in the morning with a cleanser. You can just use water and your skin will thank you for it. Number four Physical sunscreen is better. Says who? Physical sunscreens have not been proven to be better than chemical sunscreens and one might argue that chemical sunscreens have better UV filter range versus physical ones. Plus they're cosmetically more elegant. Number five Bulk body products cannot be used on your face. That is a lie. If you have a condition like keratosis pilaris and it does affect your face and with all of these tiny little bumps all over your face, then products like amlactin with 10 lactic acid or Isdin's uridine with urea can be used on your face quite successfully. Number six Silicones suffocate my skin and clog me. Harmful. I guess a lot of people think silicones are bad. Silicones are a great non comedogenic emollient that help lock in hydration and moisture.
