Beauty myth: I don't need sun protection in the shade
Is this correct or not?
No, this is not correct
Avoiding visible sunlight doesn't automatically mean you're completely protected from UV rays. Clothing only offers partial protection from UV rays. A thin white T-shirt can let in up to a quarter of UV radiation.
By staying in the shade, you avoid direct UV radiation; the sun's rays don't reach you directly. But just like visible light, UV radiation can reflect. White beach sand, for example, reflects a lot of UV radiation, meaning it can still reach your skin indirectly, even if you're sitting under a parasol.
This means it's still possible to burn or tan in the shade , albeit at a slower rate than if you were directly exposed to the sun. It's therefore important to be aware of the effects of reflected UV radiation and to protect your skin properly, even in the shade.
Beauty myth: It doesn't matter how you cleanse your face, as long as you cleanse
Is this correct or not?
No, this is not correct
Cleansing your skin is essential for healthy skin. Throughout the day, sebum, dirt, and other impurities accumulate on the skin. If not removed, they can cause problems, such as the development or worsening of pimples and other blemishes.
A mild cleanser can effectively remove oil and dirt without irritating the skin. Proper cleansing allows other skincare products, such as moisturizers and serums, to penetrate better and work more effectively. This increases the overall effectiveness of your skincare routine.
However, it's important to pay attention to the cleansing products you use. Some contain strong degreasing ingredients, such as sodium lauryl sulfate, which strip the skin of its natural oils. These oils are essential for the skin's barrier function. When these natural oils are stripped, the skin barrier can become damaged, leading to redness, dryness, pimples, and other blemishes.
Bio'ty Lab products do not contain sodium lauryl sulfates.
That's why it's crucial to choose a gentle cleanser that respects your skin's natural balance. Use products specifically formulated for your skin type and avoid harsh ingredients that can dry out or irritate your skin. Cleansing is not only important, but it's also essential to do it correctly to keep your skin healthy and radiant.
