3 Myths Behind Body Skin Imperfections - Debunked!

While facial skincare is a priority for many, the rest of the body is sometimes overlooked, surrounded by misconceptions that can make these issues easier to hide than address.

Let's debunk 3 common myths about body skin imperfections to better understand their causes and learn how to achieve healthier skin.

Myth #1. Dark spots are forever

Dark spots can appear on areas submitted to high stress like hair removal, clothing friction or acne. They can make us feel insecure, but the truth is they can go! Exfoliating and brightening actives will help reduce pigmentation and unify skin tone.

 

 Myth #2. Rough patches will go with hydrating cream

 Hydrating creams and balms will soothe but for long-term results, exfoliation is key. By boosting skin renewal, exfoliation help enhancing skin texture for a silky-soft touch that lasts.

 

Myth #3. Keratosis pilaris can be rubbed away 

Small bumps, called keratosis pilaris, can appear on body areas like thighs and back of arms. Resulting from clogged hair under the skin, attempting to rub them away will only irritate your skin and create red spots. Acid-based exfoliation with lactic and glycolic acids will even them for good!
