Let’s talk about the idea of “skin detoxing” — and why it’s one of the biggest myths in the skincare world 👇🏼

✖️ Do Skincare Products Really Detox Your Skin?

Short answer? No — and here’s why 👇

The word “detox” in skincare is a marketing term, not a medical one. Your body already has a detox system — it’s called your liver, kidneys, and lymphatic system. No cleanser, charcoal mask or tea can replace that.
🔍 What the Evidence Says:

🧪 Charcoal masks and detox products may absorb surface oil or dirt, but they don’t remove toxins from your skin. There's no clinical evidence that topical skincare can “pull toxins” out of the body.

🚫 “Detox teas” and excessive sweating (like via infrared saunas or juice cleanses) won’t clear your skin either — and in some cases, they can worsen dehydration and irritation.

📌 Dermatologists agree: focusing on skin barrier repair, hydration, sun protection and inflammation control is far more effective than chasing “detox” claims.
✅ What Actually Works for Skin Health:

✔️ A simple skincare routine with proven ingredients
✔️ Adequate hydration + balanced nutrition
✔️ Consistent use of SPF
✔️ Ingredients that support skin repair (like ceramides, niacinamide, and peptides)

💡 “Most Overrated Skincare Advice — Part 2”

Do You Really Need a 10-Step Skincare Routine?

While social media might glamorise long skincare routines, there’s no evidence that more products lead to better skin.

Using too many actives — like exfoliating acids, vitamin C, or retinoids — can damage your skin barrier, causing: 🚫 Redness
🚫 Sensitivity
🚫 Breakouts
🚫 Inflammation

If you’re layering product after product and still not seeing results, your skin might be overwhelmed — not under-treated.

✅ The Evidence-Based Approach

You don’t need a complicated routine to have glowing skin.
In fact, dermatologists consistently recommend a simple, consistent skincare routine:

✔️ Gentle cleanser
✔️ Barrier-supporting moisturiser
✔️ Broad-spectrum SPF (AM)
Optional: Targeted serums like niacinamide, retinoids or vitamin C (used carefully)

📌 What research shows:

Overuse of actives leads to irritant contact dermatitis

A damaged skin barrier worsens skin conditions like acne and rosacea

Skin health improves with fewer, well-formulated products

Let’s clear the shelves (and your skin) of some unhelpful hype 👇🏼

✖️ “Clean” or “Natural” Beauty Is Better

These terms sound lovely — but they’re not backed by science.
They’re marketing labels, not medical standards.

🧪 “Clean” beauty isn’t regulated in the UK or US — brands can label anything “non-toxic” or “natural” regardless of the formulation.

🌿 And “natural” doesn’t mean safe. Essential oils, citrus extracts and botanical ingredients are some of the top causes of contact dermatitis (skin irritation + allergies).

Lab-made ingredients (like peptides or stabilised vitamin C) are often more effective, more stable, and better tolerated by sensitive skin.

📌 Evidence says:
✔️ Synthetic ingredients can be safer
✔️ Natural ingredients can cause irritation
✔️ The best products are evidence-based — not fear-based

🧠 Always ask: is this backed by dermatology, or just trending on TikTok?
