When it comes to building an effective skin routine, more isn’t always better. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We asked our network of skincare experts to break down the biggest misconceptions they see, and what you should actually be doing instead: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Myth 1: You need an extensive skincare routine. Reality: Overloading your skin by layering too many active ingredients can lead to ompromised barrier health. Simplify your routine by starting with targeted core products. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Myth 2: Sunscreen is optional. Reality: Daily SPF is non-negotiable for long-term skin protection and healthy ageing. Skipping it undoes the hard work of your active ingredients. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Myth 3: More actives equal better results. Reality: Skincare isn't about applying active after active. Less is more, and long-term consistency beats intensity every time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Have you simplified your skincare shelf? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #Medik8 #SkincareAdvice #SkinTok #MythBusting #SkincareMyths
