Myth vs. Fact: The Truth Behind Popular Beauty Beliefs

We’ve all heard beauty tips that sound too good to be true. But how many of them are actually facts – and how many are just myths passed down like bedtime stories? Let’s separate fact from fiction 🕵️‍♀️

In the beauty world, advice is everywhere — from TikTok hacks to things your aunt swore by. But how many of these tips are actually true? At Siren Cosmetic Clinic, we believe in science-backed skincare and honest beauty. Let’s break down some of the most common myths and set the record straight.

❌ Myth #1: Oily skin doesn’t need moisturizer

Fact: All skin types need hydration — even oily skin. When you skip moisturizer, your skin can overproduce sebum, making it oilier.💡 We recommend lightweight, non-comedogenic products or treatments like our Hydrating Skin Boosters, which deeply nourish the skin without clogging pores.

❌ Myth #2: Injections make your face look “frozen”

Fact: When done correctly by a trained professional, anti-wrinkle injections create a natural, refreshed look — not a stiff one.💉 At Siren, we focus on subtle enhancements, softening fine lines while keeping your unique expressions intact.

❌ Myth #3: Peels are only for severe acne

Fact: Chemical peels are versatile and customizable. They can target acne, pigmentation, dullness or fine lines.🌿 Our range of gentle to advanced peels helps restore radiance, refine texture and reveal smoother, brighter skin — even after just one session.

❌ Myth #4: Pores can open and close

Fact: Pores don’t have muscles — they can’t physically open or close. However, they can appear larger when clogged or with age.🔬 Our microneedling and enzyme facials help reduce their appearance by tightening and renewing the skin.

❌ Myth #5: You don’t need sunscreen if you’re staying indoors

Fact: UVA rays can penetrate windows and screens, meaning you’re still exposed even at home or in the car.☀️ Protect your skin daily with SPF — especially after treatments like peels or injectables, where skin sensitivity may be increased.
