The beauty industry is full of advice, but not all of it is accurate. In fact, some commonly held beliefs about skincare and haircare could be doing more harm than good. To help you achieve your beauty goals, we’re busting some of the most pervasive beauty myths—and sharing the facts instead.
At LIKA-J, we believe in science-backed beauty. With products from trusted brands like Carelika, CHI, and Biosilk, you can confidently create a routine that works. Let’s dive into some of the biggest beauty myths and uncover the truth.
Myth 1: "Oily Skin Doesn’t Need Moisturizer"
The Truth: Even oily skin needs hydration. Skipping moisturizer can lead to dehydration, which signals your skin to produce even more oil, worsening the problem.
The Fix: Use a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer to balance hydration without clogging pores. Check out hydrating options in the Carelika range at LIKA-J.
Myth 2: "Cutting Your Hair Makes It Grow Faster"
The Truth: Hair growth happens at the scalp, not the ends. While regular trims prevent split ends and breakage, they don’t affect how fast your hair grows.
The Fix: Focus on scalp health with nourishing shampoos and treatments, like those from CHI or Biosilk, to support hair growth and strength.
Myth 3: "You Should Exfoliate Every Day"
The Truth: Over-exfoliating can damage your skin barrier, leading to sensitivity, redness, and breakouts. Most skin types benefit from exfoliation 1-3 times a week, depending on the product.
The Fix: Use gentle exfoliants, like enzyme-based masks from Carelika, available at LIKA-J, to remove dead skin cells without irritation.
Myth 4: "Natural Products Are Always Better"
The Truth: While natural ingredients can be beneficial, not all are suitable for every skin type. Similarly, synthetic ingredients are often carefully formulated for safety and effectiveness.
The Fix: Choose products based on your skin’s needs rather than the natural vs. synthetic debate. LIKA-J offers a balanced selection of products with proven results.
Myth 5: "You Don’t Need Sunscreen on Cloudy Days"
The Truth: Up to 80% of UV rays can penetrate clouds, making sunscreen a must every day, regardless of the weather.
The Fix: Apply a broad-spectrum SPF daily to protect your skin from UV damage and premature aging. Simplify your routine with day creams that combine hydration and SPF, like those from Carelika.
