Skincare Myths That Are Damaging Your Glow
With social media, influencer tips, and product trends everywhere, skincare advice is easier to find than ever — and yet, misinformation spreads fast. At BELAMÉRES, we see clients daily who are unknowingly following routines based on myths. Let’s set the record straight and protect your glow.
Myth #1: Oily skin doesn't need moisturiser
This is one of the most damaging myths. Oily skin can still be dehydrated — especially if you're using harsh products. When your skin lacks hydration, it often compensates by producing even more oil.
✅ Do instead: Use lightweight, hydrating products like the NIMUE Hyaluronic Ultrafiller Serum and non-comedogenic moisturisers.
Myth #2: Pores can shrink
You can't change the size of your pores — but you can reduce their appearance. Dehydration, congestion, and loss of collagen make them look larger.
✅ Do instead: Regular exfoliation, deep-cleansing facials like our Fairy Frost Treatment, and collagen-supporting actives help smooth skin texture.
Myth #3: If it tingles, it’s working
That tingling feeling might not mean a product is effective — it could mean it’s irritating your barrier.
✅ Do instead: Respect your skin's limits. Our Ultrasound Skin Scan helps identify sensitivity and inflammation before it causes visible damage.
Myth #4: Natural = better
Not always. Many “natural” ingredients are allergens. Just because something is natural doesn't mean it's safe or effective for your skin.
✅ Do instead: Choose scientifically backed products. At BELAMÉRES, we use brands like GERNÉTIC, BEAUTÉ PACIFIQUE, and NIMUE because they combine science with results.
