[color=#1A1A1A][font=PoynterOSTextTwoL-Roman][background=rgb(246, 244, 240)][size=4][b]MYTH:[/b] The thicker the cream, the more hydration
[b]TRUTH:[/b] The opposite is true. Too rich a cream can trap dead cells and result in dull-looking skin. That’s why many beauty brands are producing more gel and gel-cream moisturizers.[/size][/background][/font][/color]

[color=#1A1A1A][font=PoynterOSTextTwoL-Roman][background=rgb(246, 244, 240)][size=4][b]MYTH:[/b] Cloudy skies mean you can skip sunscreen
[b]TRUTH:[/b] Clouds do little to filter out skin-damaging UVA rays.[/size][/background][/font][/color]

[color=#1A1A1A][font=PoynterOSTextTwoL-Roman][background=rgb(246, 244, 240)][size=4][b]MYTH:[/b] Exfoliation causes dryness and patchiness
[b]TRUTH:[/b] Only if you overdo it. Exfoliating once or twice a week brings new, moisture-rich cells to the surface and allows ingredients to be absorbed more effectively.[/size][/background][/font][/color]

[color=#1A1A1A][font=PoynterOSTextTwoL-Roman][background=rgb(246, 244, 240)][size=4][b]MYTH:[/b] Oily skin doesn’t need moisturizer
[b]TRUTH:[/b] Yes, it does. What it doesn’t need is extra oil. Choose an oil-free moisturizer. Women with combination skin should use a fluid-rich lotion on their T-zone and a richer moisture on dryer parts of the face.[/size][/background][/font][/color]

[color=#1A1A1A][font=PoynterOSTextTwoL-Roman][background=rgb(246, 244, 240)][size=4][b]MYTH:[/b] Showers help dry skin to stay moist
[b]TRUTH:[/b] They don’t. In fact, showering and even swimming too long leaches water from the skin. Keep showers to five minutes and use lukewarm water. A water temperature above 100 degrees Fahrenheit causes blood vessel dilation that produces water loss through the skin’s outer layer.[/size][/background][/font][/color]
