Skin Care Myths and Facts: The internet and social media are full of various skincare tips. People often search Google without proper information and follow these tips, only to face problems like rashes, pigmentation, allergies, or acne. People often believe myths that are not scientifically proven or even supported by experts.

If you're one of these people, it's important to understand that every person's skin is different, so no single advice applies to everyone. Especially before a wedding, function, or any special occasion, a wrong skincare mistake can ruin your entire look.

So, if you want healthy, glowing, and problem-free skin, it's important to never believe these skincare myths. Here are five things that can harm your skin.

1. Applying lemon directly to the face can lighten the complexion.

Fact: The citric acid in lemon is so strong that applying it directly to the skin can cause irritation, redness, and increased pigmentation. It can also cause sunburn and chemical reactions. Understand that no remedy can ever lighten the complexion.

2. Applying toothpaste makes pimples disappear instantly.

Fact: The menthol, baking soda, and chemicals in toothpaste can make the skin dry and irritated. This does not reduce pimples, but can increase blemishes. This can sometimes worsen the problem to the point of requiring a doctor's visit.

3. Excessive scrubbing improves glow.

Fact: Repeated scrubbing damages the skin's natural layer and can cause dry, sensitive, and red skin. Therefore, always consult a skin care professional before using it. Even if you are using home remedies, avoid overdoing it.

4. An expensive product is always better

Truth: It's not the price of a product, but its suitability for your skin. Even a cheap product can be effective. Therefore, always buy a product based on your skin's needs.

5. Oily skin doesn't need moisturizer

Truth: This myth always seems to be true. This is why people with oily skin often avoid using any cream. However, it's important to understand that hydration is essential even for oily skin. Without moisturizer, the skin begins to produce more oil.
