Hey skin-savvy squad! 👋 Ever heard someone say “you don’t need skincare until you’re older” or “moisturiser makes oily skin worse”? 🙄 We’ve all been there — trying to figure out fact from fiction in a world full of skincare advice from friends, TikTok, and everywhere in between.
It’s time to set the record straight! Here are 6 of the biggest skincare myths, BUSTED — with help from some Facely favourites.
❌ MYTH 1: “If your skin is oily, skip moisturiser.”
👉 Truth: All skin needs moisture — even oily skin! When you skip moisturiser, your skin might actually produce more oil to make up for it.
✅ Facely Fix: The Night Shift Moisturiser is lightweight, non-greasy, and perfect for balancing oil while keeping skin soft and smooth. Win-win!
❌ MYTH 2: “Spots mean your skin is dirty.”
👉 Truth: Acne doesn’t mean you’re dirty — it’s often caused by hormones, stress, or clogged pores. Over-washing can make it worse!
✅ Facely Fix: Use the gentle Squeaky Clean Cleanser morning and night. It removes excess oil and grime without stripping your skin’s natural goodness.
❌ MYTH 3: “Natural products can’t fight spots.”
👉 Truth: Some of the best breakout-busting ingredients come from nature — think witch hazel, lavender and peppermint.
✅ Facely Fix: Try the Solve It Serum with peppermint, or the Clean Slate Clay Mask for a calming, clarifying boost.
❌ MYTH 4: “SPF is only for sunny days.”
👉 Truth: UV rays are around all the time — even when it’s cloudy, rainy, or cold.
✅ Facely Fix: Facely The Day SPF 50 Moisturiser keeps your skin protected and hydrated without feeling heavy.
❌ MYTH 5: “Face wipes are enough.”
👉 Truth: Wipes might remove makeup, but they can leave behind residue, irritate young skin, and don’t truly cleanse your face.
✅ Facely Fix: Use the Facely Cleaning Cloth with your cleanser for a more effective, eco-friendly cleanse.
❌ MYTH 6: “More products = better skin.”
👉 Truth: You don’t need a 10-step routine! For tweens and teens, simple routines work best.
✅ Facely Tip: A cleanser, moisturiser, SPF, and the occasional serum or mask are all you need to keep skin happy and healthy.
💬 Final Thought
Skincare should be simple, fun, and based on what your skin needs — not myths! Now that you’ve got the facts (and some fab Facely product picks), you’re ready to glow with confidence.
