What are some of the most damaging skin care fallacies out there?
One of the most damaging skin care fallacy pertains to exfoliation. Most people under exfoliate because the skin care fallacy says that exfoliation will dry and thin out the skin. This could not be further from the truth. The skin is a dynamic organ, the more you wear it down the more it grows. You can take a dull, lifeless, ashen looking skin and turn it into radiant skin by exfoliation. Another common misconception is that exfoliation may dry the skin out. On the contrary! If you take off old, dry skin cells on a daily basis, you open up the skin so moisture can permeate your skin better. So if your skin is dry, you have to start with something a bit counterintuitive: you have to exfoliate first.
