Coconut Oil
We know coconut oil is hot stuff. Everyone seems to think it’s a miracle product. It is for some things, but it can actually hurt acne-prone and oily skin. It can clog your pores with the oil base and lead to skin issues. If you have oily skin, coconut oil isn’t a miracle product for you. Instead, we recommend choosing non-comedogenic moisturizing products. We recommend items with fatty acids, hyaluronic acid, and squalene. Check out some of our skinbetter science products with these ingredients. You’ll get gentle moisturizing agents without worrying about breakouts.
Pore Strips
Every teenager a few decades ago would spend the evening in pore strips. They are mainly used to treat blackheads and promise to rip them right off. The problem is that it isn’t as simple as that. Clogged pores are what’s causing blackheads. The block dot inside the blackhead is deeply rooted. Pore strips cannot adequately clean out deep-rooted pores. If you want to correctly cleanse normal to oily skin, use skincare products with an alpha hydroxy acid. We recommend AlphaRet Clearing Serum from skinbetter science.
Exfoliants
Exfoliating your skin is essential, of course, but only to a degree. If you overdo facial scrubs and go wild with facial cleansers, you can actually scratch your skin. It’s important to stick to exfoliating ingredients that aren’t harsh, like glycolic acid. The skin needs products that accelerate its natural process of peeling. If you harshly scrape the surface of your skin with beads and nut particles, you’re only hurting the layers.
Expired Sunscreen
Sunscreen is a vital part of your daily skin regimen. This doesn’t mean grabbing an old tube of sunscreen and slathering it on your skin. If the sunscreen is expired, it won’t work optimally to help shade your skin from harmful rays. Some sunscreens can last up to three years when stored properly. We have some excellent medical grade selections in our EltaMD sunscreen selections. We advise against using any expired skincare products.
