Everyone wants glowing, radiant, clear skin right? However, with so many skin care hacks, advice and myths on the internet are you actually doing more harm than good?
We’re here to set the record straight with our myth busting tips and to uncover the truth behind them so you can discover your glow and get the skin you deserve.
Myth: I have oily skin I don’t need to moisturise, it gives me spots!
Truth: All skin types need moisturising, including blemish-prone skin. Having oily skin doesn’t mean you have hydrated skin – it’s very possible and very common to be both oily and dehydrated.
However, excessive moisturising can lead to blemishes so try using a penny sized amount of moisturiser twice a day. Our Celletoi™ Firming Cashmere Cream comes with an complimentary applicator which is perfect for applying the correct amount of product and for hygienically scooping the product from the pot.
Celletoi™ Firming Cashmere Cream is luxuriously soft, glides onto your skin and melts deep within – leaving your skin feeling healthy and hydrated without feeling greasy. It is also unscented which makes it great for those with sensitive skin.
Myth: I don’t need to moisturize my décolletage!
Truth: Skincare isn’t just about what you apply to your face, it’s also important to concentrate on your décolletage too! In fact, you should follow the same steps you do for your skincare. These areas are just as sensitive and prone to damage, dryness and premature aging.
TOP TIP: Gently apply your products to your face and décolletage in upwards motions to prevent pulling and tugging that can cause dryness, irritation and premature aging.
Myth: Moisturisers only hydrate skin and don’t address other skin concerns.
Truth: Moisturisers CAN do more than just hydrate the skin – depending on their ingredients. They can give you softer and smoother skin, restore hydration, strengthen the skin barrier and so much more.
Our Celletoi™ Firming Cashmere Cream luxuriously moisturises your skin with hyaluronic acid and Ceraposome™ ceramides, leaving your skin feeling healthy, smooth and rejuvenated. Our Celletoi Peptide Blend™ infuses deep into the skin as the moisturiser is applied – targeting the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles to unveil vibrant, radiant and restored complexion.
Myth: It’s not that bad to sleep in your make up…
Truth: Do not sleep in your make up, we repeat, do NOT sleep in your make up!
Leaving your makeup on overnight means your products are on your skin for longer, which can trap oil, clog your pores, and ultimately lead to breakouts. It also means that dirt and environmental pollutants can blocked inside the skin, which over time can result in premature aging, dullness and dehydration.
Always remove your make-up, cleanse and moisturise before bed.
Myth: What I eat and drink wont impact my skin…
Truth: We all know sugary, processed and fried foods aren’t great for our waistlines, but did you know they can also increase the likelihood of breakouts, inflammation, premature aging, and dull skin?
Making healthier choices will not only help to make a difference in your skin health but energy levels, sleep, and overall wellness. Whether you’re in need of a quick breakfast on the run with our IsaLean Shake, a probiotic to support a healthy digestive system with Triotic, or an extra boost of vegetables with our Greens powder – Isagenix is here to help you glow from the inside out.
FUN FACT: Your skin is your largest organ so ensure you’re looking after it!
Myth: I don’t need to apply eye cream until I have wrinkles!
Truth: When it comes to skincare…it’s never too soon to start! The skin around your eyes is thinner and can be more prone to fine lines and wrinkles than other parts of the face and body. So it’s important that we pay special attention around the eyes, applying products specifically formulated for youthful looking skin.
Eye cream not only prevents premature aging, it can also help reduce or diminish dark circles and puffiness as well as make your eyes appear brighter.
Our Celletoi™ Peptide Eye Cream has it all and even a cooling and de-puffing applicator that not only feels great, it has some incredible benefits too! This rich, restorative cream features our exclusive Celletoi BioFirm Complex™, that works to tighten, hydrate and firm the skin and helps reduce the visible signs of fatigue. Our Celletoi Peptide Blend™ targets the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles to unveil an uplifted, thriving complexion. We recommend using our Celletoi™ Peptide Eye Cream morning and night, and make sure to apply before your Celletoi™ Firming Cashmere Cream.
So, there it is… skincare myths you need to stop believing and some tips to help you on your journey to healthy, hydrated and glowing skin!
