Myth - Blackheads mean dirty skin.
Fact - Blackheads can result from the sun causing oxidation of sebum (oil) in a blocked pore and the oil becomes black. Call us or visit our website for more information.

Myth - We do not need sunscreen in winter
Fact - The winter sun causes more damage to the skin because we tend to enjoy the warmth from the sun without realising the damage we're doing. Those rays are still aging us.

Fact - Pigment takes years to come to the surface so with treatments such as fraxel or IPL even though it may appear to  fade,  it will  return and 3 hours of sun exposure can undo all the hard work. Call Beautiful Image for help or visit our website for a test patch to try before you buy.

Myth - My moisturiser make me feel moist
Fact - This means the cream may be too thick to penetrate the skin to feed the vitamins the skin is lacking.

Myth - The skin does act as a barrier so only 2-7% of products penetrate the surface .
Fact - True, however cosmetic rolling allows up to 87% absorption of products. 

Myth - Foundations do not harm skin
Fact - Some foundations can cause skin congestion as blocked pores and pimples. Check yours by mixing a little in a glass of water. If friendly the water should become cloudy.

Myth

You have oily skin and think you can get rid of the oil by scrubbing every other day and using products that dry the skin out.

Truth

By scrubbing, you just produce more oil from the stimulation you are doing to the skin. The skin may feel smooth but it is no advantage. When you dry the surface oil, you cause a dry layer of flaky skin that is unable to absorb moisture and stops excess oil flowing out of the skin therefore you end up with more blockages as pimples, blackheads, acne and milea.
