Skincare Myth-Busting 101 — Simplifying Your Natural Skincare Routine
Confused about skincare? You’re not alone. The beauty industry has long thrived on complex routines, contradictory advice, and product overload. At Twentytwo Skincare, we believe less is more—especially when your skincare is rooted in nature. It’s time to simplify and clarify, starting with the most common skincare myths that leave skin irritated, stressed, and unbalanced.
Myth 1: “You need a 10-step skincare routine for results.”
Truth: More isn’t always better. Consistency is!
A natural, effective skincare routine doesn’t need to be complicated. In fact, too many steps can overwhelm your skin barrier, especially if they involve synthetic or harsh actives. At Twentytwo, we focus on multitasking natural formulas that do more with less—giving your skin everything it needs and nothing it doesn’t.
✨ Start simple with our Cleanse – Hydrate – Moisturise – Protect approach. Try our Nourishing Cleansing Milk to gently remove impurities, followed by the Hydrating Toner and Rejuvenating Anti-Age Day Cream for all-day nourishment.
Myth 2: “Natural skincare doesn’t really work.”
Truth: Nature knows best—when it’s backed by real formulation science.
Our skin recognises and thrives with natural ingredients. At Twentytwo, we formulate with cold-pressed oils, bioactive plant extracts, and antioxidant-rich botanicals that support skin health holistically. Products like our Rejuvenating Collagen Boost Serum combine natural collagen-stimulating ingredients and hydrating actives for noticeable results—without synthetic fillers or harsh additives.
🌿 Natural skincare doesn’t mean weak—it means gentle, effective, and in harmony with your skin’s own biology.
Myth 3: “If it tingles, it’s working.”
Truth: Tingling often means irritation, not effectiveness.
Sensation does not equal results. Many mainstream products use fragrances or acids that cause sensitivity or inflammation. At Twentytwo, we avoid irritating ingredients and focus on skin-calming actives that strengthen and soothe—like ginkgo, calendula, and chamomile.
💡 If a product stings or burns, stop using it. Skin health should feel calm, not reactive.
Myth 4: “Your skin should feel squeaky clean after cleansing.”
Truth: Tight skin is a sign of barrier damage.
Cleansers that strip your skin’s natural oils leave your barrier compromised, often causing dryness, redness, or breakouts. Our Nourishing Cleansing Milk uses gentle emollients to cleanse without disrupting the microbiome, leaving your skin clean, balanced, and comfortable.
🌼 Tip: Your skin should feel soft and supple after cleansing—not tight or dry.
