Skincare Myths: Separating Fact from Fiction for Your Clearest Glow

In the age of information, our feeds are full of skincare advice—some great, some not so great. At Clear & Co., we believe that beautiful skin comes from making informed, confident choices, not from following trends or old wives' tales.

It’s time to cut through the noise. We’re debunking three of the most common skincare myths so you can build a routine that truly works for you.

Myth #1: You Don’t Need SPF on a Cloudy Day

The Fiction: The sun isn’t out, so you’re safe from sun damage.

The Fact: This is one of the most dangerous myths out there. While clouds block some of the sun's rays, they don’t block the harmful UVA rays that penetrate deep into your skin, causing premature aging and long-term damage. UVA rays are present every single day, all year round, regardless of the weather. Wearing SPF is a non-negotiable daily habit.

The Clear & Co. Solution: We’ve made daily protection effortless. The Irawo Beauty Super Screen Cream SPF 35 is a lightweight, non-greasy formula that doubles as a moisturizer, providing powerful broad-spectrum protection with no white cast. It’s the one-step solution to keep your skin safe and glowing.

Myth #2: Your Face Should Feel “Squeaky Clean” After Washing

The Fiction: A tight, dry feeling means you’ve successfully removed all the dirt and oil.

The Fact: A “squeaky clean” feeling is a sign that your skin’s natural moisture barrier has been stripped. Harsh cleansers can irritate your skin and trigger it to produce even more oil to compensate, leading to a cycle of dryness and breakouts. A proper cleanse should leave your skin feeling soft, balanced, and fresh.

The Clear & Co. Solution: The Rosie Claire Cosmetics Snail Mucin Face Wash cleanses with care. This gentle, restorative wash removes impurities and makeup without stripping your skin, thanks to soothing Snail Mucin. It leaves your skin feeling nourished and comfortable, proving that a deep clean doesn't have to be a harsh one.

Myth #3: Oily Skin Doesn’t Need Moisturizer

The Fiction: Adding moisturizer to oily skin will make it even oilier.

The Fact: Oily skin still needs hydration. When skin is dehydrated, it can overcompensate by producing more oil, creating a vicious cycle of imbalance. A lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer provides essential hydration, helps regulate sebum production, and strengthens the skin's barrier, leading to a healthier and less oily complexion over time.

The Clear & Co. Solution: The MG Skincare Light Face Cream is the perfect solution. It delivers essential hydration without any of the weight. Its fast-absorbing, non-greasy formula provides a comfortable finish, keeping your skin perfectly balanced without feeling heavy or shiny.

By debunking these common myths, we hope to empower you with the knowledge to create a routine that is simple, effective, and truly in sync with your skin's needs.
