Jakarta, Kartunet.com - Many beauty myths or misconceptions are still believed and practiced by a large number of people. What are they? Read our explanation below.
1. No need to use sunscreen indoors. The fact is that you still need to apply sunscreen even when you are inside your home or office, or in an air-conditioned space. This is because UV rays still emit radiation, which plays a significant role in damaging skin tissue. Try to use sunscreen with an SPF of 15.
2. Oily skin is the source of acne. The fact is that oily skin is not the only cause of acne. Dietary factors, unhealthy lifestyles, and incorrect beauty product choices are some of the triggers. In fact, if properly cared for, oily skin can be healthy and youthful, more so than dry skin.
3. Using cleansing milk followed by facial soap. The fact is there's no need to waste time and money to get clean skin. The key is simply to cleanse your skin after activities and before bed.
4. Combing hair with a wooden comb is better than a plastic comb. The fact is that both wooden and plastic combs are equally good if you choose a wide-toothed comb to keep hair neat, tangle-free, and avoid harsh friction from overly rough combing.
5. Night cream is only for people over 30. The fact is that night cream is good for anyone to use because it aids in skin regeneration during sleep. Hendro
Facial Cleansers and Skin Types
Don't choose a facial cleanser carelessly, as it can have detrimental effects on your skin. It's best to choose one according to your skin type.
Dry Skin
Choose a cream-based or cleansing milk facial cleanser with Vitamin E, as it won't irritate the skin by stripping its moisture.
Oily Skin
Choose a gentle liquid soap, foam, or water-soluble cleanser. Lemon extract or orange content is good for reducing excess oil, thus preventing acne.
Sensitive Skin
Choose a cleansing milk-textured facial cleanser with aloe vera and very low alcohol content to avoid skin irritation.
Normal Skin
This skin type can use almost all types of facial cleansers as they are safe and beneficial for this skin. Hendro
