Ever felt like you're doing everything right for your skin… but something still feels off?
You’re not alone. A lot of skincare confusion comes from advice that’s passed down, reposted, or repackaged over the years, without much science to back it. Today, we’re clearing the noise.
Here are 4 common myths that might be holding your skin back and what works.
Myth 1: “Tingling means it’s working.”
That tingle you feel after a product? It’s not a “sign” that it’s effective, it could be your skin reacting to irritation. Harvard Health confirms that overusing actives can damage your skin barrier, leading to redness and sensitivity.
Opt for gentle exfoliants like our Peach Apricot Scrub, enriched with natural oils to soften dry skin without stripping it. For oily skin? Our Coffee Cream Scrub combines salicylic acid and butter-based hydration; a rare combo that balances, not dries.
Myth 2: “Oily skin doesn’t need moisturiser.”
Dehydration triggers more oil production. The AAD recommends non-comedogenic hydration to balance sebum levels, not cancel it out.
That’s where our Vanilla Coconut Body Butter steps in: rich, calming, and light. Perfect for both dry and oily skin types, especially when your skin feels overworked.
Myth 3: “Natural skincare doesn’t work.”
Wrong. A 2023 study found that plant-based skincare improves hydration, soothes inflammation, and supports long-term skin health. It’s not about buzzwords, it’s about what your skin can absorb and respond to.
At Chapter Skin, we use real ingredients (think quinoa, oats, green tea, apricot) in freshly made batches, so your skin gets the full benefit; minus the sulphates, parabens, or guesswork.
Myth 4: “Skincare is only for women.”
Skin doesn’t care about your gender; it cares about care. Whether you’re 16 and acne-prone or 60 and tackling under-eye puffiness, skincare is for everyone.
Our Quinoa Oats Under Eye Cream is loved by students, new parents, and night owls alike; anyone chasing a little rest in a jar.
