Dermatologists let us in on the four things pretty much everyone gets wrong about skin care.
Many of us may consider ourselves armchair skin care experts. We stay abreast of the latest releases in the sheet mask space, we swear by our nine-step routines, and we’ve at least humored the idea of buying a mini-fridge for all our favorite products. But even those of us who pride ourselves on having a veritably sophisticated understanding of skin care may be susceptible to a misconception or two.
Myth: Acne is largely caused by poor hygiene—and it only happens to adolescents. Though many of us will experience acne at some point in our lives, a lot of us don’t seem to understand it—at least not totally. Dr. Adarsh Vijay Mudgil, M.D., dermatologist at Mudgil Dermatology, tells StyleCaster that while many people think acne is the result of poor hygiene, it usually has more to do with hormones. “Acne is hormonal in nature in nearly all patients,” Dr. Mudgil says.
Dr. Frieling agrees, noting that many people believe they need to use every product in a skin care line when they simply do not. And don’t underestimate drugstore products either, she says. The idea that luxury brands are the only ones worth using is completely off-base.
