Skincare Myths Debunked: Expert Answers from Dream Spa Medical

July 28, 2025

Q: Do I really need to wear sunscreen every day—even in winter?

A: Yes, yes, yes. UV rays are present year-round and are the #1 cause of premature aging. Daily
SPF is non-negotiable.

Q: Should I skip moisturizer if I have oily or acne-prone skin?

A: Definitely not. Dehydrated skin can actually produce more oil. Use a lightweight, non-
comedogenic formula.

Q: Is expensive skincare always better?

A: Not always. It’s about ingredients and formulation, not price tag. Medical-grade products tend
to be more effective due to higher concentrations and clinical testing.

Q: Can I just use makeup wipes instead of washing my face?

A: Please don’t. Wipes often leave behind residue and don’t properly cleanse the skin. Use a
gentle cleanser instead.

Q: How soon will I see results with a new skincare routine?

A: For most people, 4–6 weeks of consistent use is needed to see visible
improvement—especially with acne, pigmentation, or aging concerns.
