Myth vs. Fact
Myth: I can skip the sunscreen today since it’s cloudy and cold ☁️❄️
Fact: UVA rays (the ones responsible for aging and skin cancer) are present year-round, even through clouds and glass! In fact, winter air is thinner, and snow can reflect up to 80% of UV radiation back onto your face.
The Pro Tip: Keep that SPF 30+ in your daily rotation to protect your collagen and your Glow. Your future self will thank you! ✨
Myth: A steaming hot shower is the best way to hydrate my skin in the winter 🚿🔥
Fact: While it feels amazing, hot water actually strips your skin of its natural oils and disrupts the lipid barrier, leading to *more* dryness and irritation.
The Pro Tip: Stick to lukewarm water and apply your moisturizer within 60 seconds of hopping out to lock in that hydration 🧴💧
Myth: I have oily skin, so I don't need to moisturize in the winter 🙅♀️
Fact: When your skin gets dehydrated from the cold air, it actually produces *more* oil to compensate for the lack of water. This leads to the dreaded "oily but flaky" cycle.
The Pro Tip: Switch to a lightweight, non-comedogenic gel-cream. Hydrated skin is happy, balanced skin! ⚖️
Myth: Licking my lips will keep them from chapping👅🚫
Fact: Saliva contains digestive enzymes that actually break down the delicate skin on your lips, making them drier and more prone to cracking.
The Pro Tip: Since lips don't have oil glands, they need an occlusive barrier (like Aquaphor) or a deep-hydration treatment like Skinvive to stay plump and smooth all season 👄✨
