Breaking Beauty Myths: What Every Woman Should Really Know About Skincare and Makeup.
By NAMITA SHARMA
In today’s world of beauty influencers, viral trends, and fast tips, it’s easy to confuse what’s right and wrong for your skin. As a Beauty Specialist, Educator, and Professional Makeup Artist, I believe it’s time to clear the noise. Beauty isn’t about copying trends it’s about understanding your skin and making educated choices. Let’s bust some of the most common beauty myths and help you achieve real, lasting beauty.
Top 5 Beauty Myths You Should Stop Believing
Myth : “Makeup damages your skin.”
Truth: Makeup itself doesn’t damage your skin but not removing it properly does. Cleansing your face well every night and choosing skin-friendly makeup products keeps your skin healthy.
Myth : “Oily skin doesn’t need moisturiser.”
Truth : All skin types even oily need hydration. Dehydrated oily skin produces even more oil! Choose a lightweight, gel-based moisturiser to balance the skin.
Myth : “Natural DIY treatments are always safe.”
Truth : Not all home remedies are skin-friendly. Lemon, baking soda, or toothpaste can damage your skin barrier and cause irritation. Trust ingredients that are scientifically tested for skincare.
Myth : “Expensive products guarantee better results.”
Truth : It’s not about the price; it’s about the ingredients. A simple serum with hyaluronic acid or vitamin C can be more effective than a costly cream packed with fillers.
Myth : “You don’t need sunscreen if you’re indoors.”
Truth : UVA rays (which cause aging) penetrate windows. Sunscreen is essential every single day, indoors or outdoors. Daily Skincare Routine for All Skin Types (Simple & Effective)
Healthy, glowing skin starts with a simple, consistent skincare routine. No matter what your skin type is, these four steps are your foundation:
Morning Routine:
- Cleanser: Gentle foaming or hydrating cleanser
- Toner: Alcohol-free toner to balance pH
- Serum: Vitamin C serum to protect from environmental damage
- Moisturiser: Lightweight for oily skin / rich cream for dry skin
- Sunscreen: SPF 30 or above mandatory even if you’re indoors Night Routine:
- Cleanser: Double cleanse if you wear makeup (oil cleanser + face wash)
- Treatment: Targeted serum (anti-aging, hydrating, or brightening based on your concern)
- Moisturiser: Night cream to repair and hydrate the skin overnight Why Daily Skincare Is So Important
Think of skincare like brushing your teeth consistency is the key.
Skipping skincare leads to dullness, premature aging, pigmentation, and loss of natural glow. A disciplined routine protects your skin barrier, supports natural repair, and enhances makeup results beautifully.
Final Thoughts: Beauty Begins with Knowledge
Beauty isn’t about following trends blindly. It’s about understanding your skin’s unique needs, protecting it wisely, and using makeup to celebrate it not hide it.
As a professional who has worked with countless faces and taught many aspiring artists, I believe knowledge is your best beauty tool.
Break the myths. Empower yourself. And let your true beauty shine.
When You Know Better, You Glow Better.
