Let’s “Clear Up” Some Acne Myths in Rancho Santa Margarita.

Image
"Bunk" is a slang term for nonsense, and in honor of June Acne Awareness Month, let's debunk the nonsense of acne myths and aim for blemish-free skin. Myth #1 Tanning Clears Up Acne We're calling "bunk" on this myth. The sun's UV rays do nothing to zap acne. Instead, your skin dries out, inflames, produces more oil, and gets worse. It may feel at first like the sun is drying your acne, but it's not healing it. We know this because we see tanned people all the time who still have acne. Plus, sun exposure increases your risk of developing melanoma and other skin cancers. Myth #2 Dairy Causes Acne We've all heard that dairy causes acne, but this is definitely a myth.

Is More Better? How Much Skincare Product to Really Use in Rancho Santa Margarita

Image
It’s sometimes hard to gauge how much skincare product to use. You don’t want to use too much or too little. You want that “Goldilocks” amount that’s “just right.” Most People use too Much Product We all tend to over-apply our skincare products without even thinking about it. Maybe we subconsciously think the extra product will give us extra-good skin, but it doesn't work like that. The Right Amount If you think of how much skincare product to apply in terms of fruit, it’s pretty easy to keep things straight. Imagine the smallest amount as a pomegranate seed. It’s just enough to tap onto your face.                                       ·     Pomegranate Seed Size Retinols and serums are effective in the tiniest pomegranate-seed amount. You want to use enough product to get the full benefit, but not so much that your skin turns red or dries out. Start small and build up to what your s...
