The beauty industry is overflowing with bad advice. It's time to cut through the noise with the intensity of lava and get to the truth. Your artistry deserves a flawless, healthy canvas, and that starts with ditching the lies holding your skin back.
Consider this your official guide to skincare truth.
Here are five myths we're officially vaporizing.
Myth 1: "Oil Cleansing is the Enemy of Oily Skin"
The Lie: Adding oil to oily skin is a one-way ticket to Breakout City.
The Truth: This is backwards logic. High-quality cleansing oils are formulated to dissolve excess sebum and impurities without stripping your skin's natural barrier. Harsh, drying cleansers can actually trigger more oil production. It’s time to work with your skin, not against it.

The solution is a clean, effective first cleanse. Our Perfect Cleansing Oil is designed to melt away every trace of makeup and sunscreen, transforming from an oil to a milky emulsion that rinses completely clean. It’s the ultimate prelude to a perfect canvas.
Myth 2: "A Complex 10-Step Routine is Mandatory"
The Lie: If your skincare shelf isn't overflowing, you're failing.
The Truth: More products don't equal better skin. Consistency and the right products trump complexity every time. An overcrowded routine can overwhelm your skin, cause irritation, and make it impossible to know what's actually working.

Master the fundamentals. A powerful, minimalist routine is all you need. Our Double Cleansing Duo handles the crucial first two steps: the oil to dissolve and the foam to purify. Follow it with a moisturizer like our Light Facial Cream for hydration that never feels heavy. Done.
Myth 3: "If It Burns, It's Working"
The Lie: Pain equals potency. That tingling sensation means the product is effective.
The Truth: Stinging and burning are not goals; they are red flags. This sensation often indicates irritation, a compromised skin barrier, or an allergic reaction. True effectiveness should feel nurturing, not painful.

Your products should respect your skin. Every formulation in our line, from our Perfect Foam Cleanser to our Cushion Foundations, is designed for high performance without compromise. They deliver intense pigment and clean ingredients without the sting.
Myth 4: "You Don't Need to Cleanse in the AM"
The Lie: Your face is clean when you wake up; just splash it with water.
The Truth: Overnight, your skin sheds cells, secretes oils, and works through your overnight products. Morning cleansing removes this buildup, creating a smooth, fresh base for your makeup to adhere to perfectly and last all day.

A gentle, effective a.m. cleanse is non-negotiable. Our Perfect Foam Cleanser is pH-balanced and gently lifts impurities without stripping, ensuring your Matte Compact applies like a dream and stays flawless.
Myth 5: "Makeup Ruins Your Skin"
The Lie: Wearing foundation, especially every day, will clog your pores and cause damage.
The Truth: Makeup isn't the villain; improper removal is. Sleeping in makeup is the sin. High-quality, non-comedogenic formulas (like ours) are designed to be safe for skin. The magic key is always, always double cleansing at night to reset your canvas.
