(AKA: The Toxic Myths Your Skin Needs to Break Up With—ASAP)
Hey, we’ve all been there. Falling for a skincare myth like it’s the one—until you realize it’s been ruining your glow this whole time. And just like that ex who told you “It’s not you, it’s me” (but let’s be real, it was totally them), it’s time to cut ties with these toxic skincare beliefs. Because trust us, your skin deserves better.
🚩 Myth #1: “You Don’t Need Sunscreen Indoors”
The Ex: The Gaslighter (Always making you question reality)
Look, just because you’re indoors doesn’t mean UV rays are on vacation. Windows block UVB (the burning rays) but not UVA (the sneaky ones that cause premature aging and fine lines). Translation? Your skin is still at risk—whether you’re at the beach or binge-watching a K-drama indoors.
Break-Up Plan: Daily sun protection is non-negotiable. Whether it’s cloudy, cold, or you’re glued to your laptop, SPF is your BFF.
(And no, that foundation with SPF 15 isn’t enough. Nice try.)
🚩 Myth #2: “Oily Skin Doesn’t Need Moisturizer”
The Ex: The Commitment-Phobe (Ghosts you when you need them most)
Oh, so you think skipping moisturizer will make your skin less oily? Cute. In reality, dehydrated skin overcompensates by producing MORE oil—turning you into a human disco ball by noon.
Break-Up Plan: Go for a lightweight, non-greasy moisturizer that hydrates without clogging pores. (Pure Desi Rustic Rose Face Moisturizer is your skin’s new ride-or-die—hydration without the grease.)
🚩 Myth #3: “If It Burns, It’s Working”
The Ex: The Drama Queen (Confuses chaos with love)
We get it, a little tingle makes you feel like something is happening. But if your skin stings, burns, or turns tomato-red, it’s not “working”—it’s begging for help.
Break-Up Plan: Ditch the harsh stuff and opt for soothing, detoxifying treatments that work without the drama. (Pure Desi Turmeric Charcoal Clay Mask gives you that deep cleanse—without setting your face on fire.)
🚩 Myth #4: “More Products = Better Skin”
The Ex: The Overcompensator (Does too much and still fails)
A 15-step routine sounds glamorous until your skin freaks out from product overload. Too many actives? Too many layers? You might as well start a new hobby instead of spending an hour layering serums like it’s an art project.
Break-Up Plan: Less is more. Stick to cleanse, treat, moisturize, protect. (Pure Desi’s natural skincare range gives you everything you need, minus the unnecessary extras.)
Break Up & Glow Up
Just like bad exes, these skincare myths need to be dumped. Your skin deserves real results, real ingredients, and zero drama. So tell us—which myth are you ditching first? (Bonus points if you’re replacing it with a Pure Desi product. Wink.)
