Myth Busting!

We hear it all! Below are some of the most common myths we love to bust, and we're barely scratching the surface.

MYTH #1:

"Dermaplaning makes my hair grow back longer, darker, or more coarse.'"

FACT:

Make no mistake, your hair WILL grow back, and it may even feel (not look) stubbly. But, this is simply because of the way it was cut straight across. It will appear exactly as it was before, even while going through the growing process.

MYTH #2:

"I am in my house all day/the sun is behind the clouds, I don’t need sunscreen!"

FACT:

There are still plenty of minutes of the day where exposure to the sun happens. Some examples would be sitting by a window, driving around town, taking the dog on a walk, walking to the mailbox, etc. In fact, when it is cloudy outside, the sun's rays still penetrate through the clouds and can possibly be more intense due to the reflection off the clouds. And did you know that fluorescent light bulbs can cause skin damage? We think you're better safe than sorry!

MYTH #3:

"There is sunscreen in my moisturizer/makeup, I don’t need to buy SPF."

FACT:

The concentration of SPF is so low when mixed in to moisturizers and makeup, that you would need 10+ layers of it in order for it to be as effective as an SPF. I am sure you can imagine what 10 layers of makeup would feel like. Don't rely on that as your only protection from the sun's rays!
