Myth 1: Oily Skin Doesn't Need Moisturizer Fact: Even oily skin needs hydration. Skipping moisturizer can actually make your skin produce more oil to compensate. Use a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer to keep your skin balanced. Myth 2: You Can Shrink Your Pores Fact: Pores do not open and close like doors. While you can minimize the appearance of pores by keeping them clean and using products like retinoids and niacinamide, you cannot permanently shrink them. Myth 3: Drinking More Water Cures Dry Skin Fact: While staying hydrated is important for overall health, drinking water alone won’t cure dry skin. You need to use topical moisturizers to properly hydrate and protect the skin barrier.
