The skincare world is full of advice, but not all of it is true. From social media hacks to family tips, you’ve probably heard suggestions that sound convincing but may actually harm your skin in the long run. That’s why busting skincare myths is so important.
We'll clear up common skincare myths vs facts, address real skincare misconceptions, and guide you with the right Inveda products that support your skin every day.
Myth 1: Sunscreen is only needed on sunny days
Fact: UV rays can affect your skin even on cloudy or indoor days. Sun exposure is not limited to direct sunlight. Protect your skin daily with Sun Screen Cream Gel SPF 30 | UVA & UVB Protector or Sun Screen Cream Gel SPF 50. Both options feel light on the skin and can be used year-round.
Myth 2: Using more face wash keeps your skin cleaner
Fact: Over-washing strips away natural oils, which can lead to dryness or irritation. Your skin needs balance, not harsh cleansing. Try Purifying Neem & Gotukola Face Wash | Anti Acne. It gently cleanses dirt and impurities without leaving the skin tight or dry. Use twice a day for best results.
Myth 3: Dark spots can be erased overnight
Fact: No product can change your skin overnight. Addressing uneven tone takes consistent care over time.The Anti Pigmentation Skin Care Kit from Inveda is designed as a complete routine. With steady use, it helps to reduce the look of marks, freckles, and uneven tone step by step.
Myth 4: Natural home remedies always work better
Fact: Ingredients from the kitchen aren’t always safe for direct use. Some may cause irritation or imbalance. Formulated products blend natural herbs in the right concentration for effective care. The Kumkumadi Tailam Face Oil | Prevents 9 Skin Problems is crafted with saffron, sandalwood, and herbs in a balanced formula. It helps support natural radiance more effectively than raw home remedies.
Myth 5: Moisturizer makes oily skin greasier
Fact: Oily skin still needs hydration. Skipping moisturizer may make the skin produce even more oil to compensate. Choose a light option like Aloe Fresh Hydrating Gel with Cactus Extracts. It gives hydration with a cooling feel, keeping oily skin fresh and comfortable.
Myth 6: Skincare stops at age 30
Fact: Skin care is not about age; it’s about consistency. No matter your stage of life, maintaining a routine helps your skin stay balanced.The Anti Ageing Night Cream | Collagen Booster supports skin firmness and texture when used daily. It’s a great addition to routines beyond your 20s.
Myth 7: Facial kits are only for salons
Fact: At-home kits are simple to use and bring spa-like care to your daily routine. You don’t need to visit a salon every time. Inveda’s Papaya & Cucumber Facial Kit | De Tan & Whitening comes with step-by-step guidance, helping refresh dull skin from the comfort of home.
Myth 8: Under-eye products don’t really work
Fact: The under-eye area is thinner and more delicate than the rest of your face. Ignoring it can make puffiness and dark circles appear more noticeable. The Under Eye Cream | Dark Circle & Puffy Eyes Corrector is designed specifically for this sensitive zone. With regular use, it supports a fresher, more awake look.
