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

Any moisturiser will do so long as I use something and it stops my skin feeling dry.

Truth

Moisturisers that are too heavy to be absorbed into the skin and just sit on the surface making you not feel dry can cause many skin problems such as blackheads, pimples, congestion and milia( little white hard lumps you see around your cheek bones and on your eyelids.). A  good moisturiser must be light so the skin is able to absorb the essential vitamins it must have including Vitamin A and Vitamin C.

Myth

Smoking does not harm skin

Truth

One cigarette is believed to destroy 25milligrams of vitamin C and a healthy balanced body needs 45 milligrams of vitamin C to exist each day. This is why smokers have dull grey skin and can have pigmentation. It may be beneficial to take 1000 milligrams of Vitamin C every day to replace some of the loss caused by the smoking.
Vitamin C is essential to protect the skin from the formation of pigmentation. It is a free radical scavenger. Skin low in Vitamin C is usually very sensitive and can be very flushed on the cheeks and chin.
