The word anti-aging can be splattered on many skincare products, giving you the illusion of wrinkle-free, glowy, clear skin when in fact it may not live up to all these expectations.There are a lot of myths in the skincare world that need to be debunked because seriously, not everything trending on your FYP is actually helping you age gracefully. So, we're here to set the facts straight and debunk some of the most famous myths regarding anti-aging, and here are some of them.
1. Natural Ingredients Help with Anti- Aging
Yes, some natural ingredients penetrate deep and help keep your skin healthy and moisturized like olive and castor oil, but they don’t reverse any signs of aging. To prevent wrinkles active ingredients must be used like Retinol, niacinamide, and peptides.
2. Your Wrinkles Are Mostly Genetic
Don't blame your ancestors for your wrinkles, your habits are louder than your genes. We're talking skipping sunscreen, sleeping with makeup on, stress, smoking, and many more that are harming your skin without even knowing.
3. SPF Makeup is Enough Sun Protection
Just because your skin tint, or primer contains SPF, doesnt mean its efficient to protect your face from the harmful UVB rays. Make sure you prep your skin with good amount of sunscreen, perebally SPF 50 before applying your makeup.
4. Expensive Products Are Always the Solutions
If you're still purchasing fancy looking products that are breaking your bank account, then you might want to do a little switch to simpler and more natural products with less complicated yet effective ingredients that target your skin concerns.
5. Only Older People Need Anti Aging Products
How your skin looks in your 60s depends on how you took care of it from early age. Starting anti-aging products in your 20s or 30s helps prevent fine lines, loss of collagen, and sun damage, so the earlier you start, the better your skin will age.
