Navigating the skincare landscape in the Middle East can be tricky, especially with the abundance of myths and misconceptions floating around. At Marz, we believe in transparency and helping consumers make informed choices. Here, we debunk some common skincare myths and provide you with the facts you need to know.
The Myth of ‘Natural’
One prevalent myth is that “natural” products are inherently safer and more effective than their synthetic counterparts. However, everything in our environment, from water to air, is chemical in nature. The idea of “chemical-free” skincare is a myth. The key is understanding that both natural and synthetic ingredients can be beneficial or harmful, depending on their formulation and concentration.
Fact: A product’s safety and efficacy depend on its ingredients and formulation, not on whether it is natural or synthetic.
Myth: Sunscreen Is Only Necessary on Sunny Days
Many people believe that sunscreen is only needed on sunny days or when spending extended periods outdoors. However, UV rays can penetrate through clouds and windows, causing skin damage even when the sun isn’t visible.
Fact: Sunscreen should be worn daily, regardless of the weather, to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.
Myth: Oily Skin Doesn’t Need Moisturizer
It’s a common misconception that oily skin doesn’t require moisturizer. Skipping moisturizer can actually make your skin produce more oil to compensate for the lack of hydration.
Fact: All skin types, including oily skin, need moisturizer to maintain a healthy balance. Opt for a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer if you have oily skin.
Myth: Expensive Products Are Always Better
Price doesn’t always equate to quality in skincare. Many high-end products have affordable counterparts that are just as effective.
Fact: The effectiveness of a skincare product is determined by its ingredients and how well they suit your skin type and concerns, not by its price.
Myth: You Can Shrink Your Pores
Pores can’t be physically shrunk. Their appearance can be minimized with proper cleansing, exfoliation, and the use of products that regulate oil production.
Fact: While you can’t shrink pores, you can make them appear smaller with a good skincare routine that includes cleansing, exfoliating, and using appropriate treatments.
