A thread of skincare SCAMS to straighten out!
Love And Hip Hop Help GIF by VH1 - Find  Share on GIPHY

Hydrating Oils: First of all, oils don't even hydrate. Hydration comes from moisture. The chemical composition of oils mean that they can’t ADD moisture to the skin! Their job is to RETAIN moisture by acting as a sealant.
 Exfoliating toners: The job of a toner isn’t to exfoliate! A toner typically helps to adjust the pH of your skin after washing your face. This has NOTHING to do with shedding dead skin from your face. So an exfoliating toner is just an....exfoliant.
Mattifying skincare products: Why would you INTENTIONALLY want to dry out your skin? Your Moisture Barrier NEEDS oil to function Know this and know peace.
Oh No What GIF by Identity - Find  Share on GIPHY
Anything designed to “dry”pimples/breakouts: Intentionally dehydrating your skin will actually generate more sebum. No such thing as a quick fix!
“No pain no gain”:  This doesn’t apply to skincare! WE ARE NOT IN THE GYM! Your skin is supposed to feel supple and hydrated If it burns...drop it like it’s hot!
Popping your spots: This is so 2009! Must I even go into this? LET US DO BETTER!
Using period blood to clear your acne I-

whew Chile the ghetto  StraightFromTheAcom - Atlanta Entertainment  Industry News  Gossip
Immediately associating expensive skincare products with better results, and cheaper drugstore products with worse results in the middle of a "panoramic"?! So what is the truth?
LETS DO BETTER YALL, SUMMER IS ALMOST HERE.

yeah wtf??? buzzfeed/tiktok has gone too far. i know its gotta be one of them that suggested this

but to add: i used proactiv as a teenager and the step 3 lotion bleached my face towels. idk why or if its serious, but my towels were blue & now they all have giant pink spots in the middle where the lotion i wiped off my face has bleached them. it didnt get rid of my acne either, birth control did a few years later

Yessss for the oils, although I do love me a cleansing oil. And yeah expensive products are a total waste of money and are just as hit or miss as drugstore products, just look at the ingredients!!!!!! Also, don't go overboard with your products: cleanser, toner, moisturizor, and sunscreen! Other than that, maybe a good serum, weekly face mask, and hydration! 

If y'all want the real truth:
medical grade productstret (prescription)botoxfraxel/LED laserchemical peelschemical exfoliantsIf you have severe skin probs you are much better off paying to see a derm to get on the right track instead of spending a bunch of money on products that won't help or make your probs worse.

Hyram on youtube has some absolutely amazing videos about skincare- I have him to thank for my clear skin lol 

Also I feel like it's not mentioned about enough that having good shampoo and conditioner is really important for keeping acne in check, at least in my experience. I went nuts for a while trying to figure out what I was doing wrong but I just needed to change my hair products.

The whole 'clean beauty' thing is also a scam. Some chemicals used in skincare products are slandered without any evidence that they are unsafe to use.
