Skincare Myths vs. Facts
Reflections on Science, Social Media, and Skin Health
Daniyah Kaur | Drishti Mittal | Kanak Garg
Project Overview
Navigating the world of skincare can be overwhelming. This project aimed to investigate widespread beliefs in the beauty industry, distinguishing between popular trends and dermatological science. Our team explored how misinformation spreads and the real impact it has on skin health.
"I learned that not everything we hear on social media is true. Many skincare tips passed down by friends or influencers are actually myths."

Daniyah's Key Learning: Trusting Science
Social media trends often lack scientific backing and can be misleading.
Blindly following influencers can lead to ineffective or harmful routines.
It is crucial to verify facts and trust dermatologists over popular rumors.
Drishti Mittal: Personalization is Key
This project taught me that skincare is different for everyone. Knowing the facts helped me realize that understanding our unique skin type and using the right ingredients is far more important than following a 'one-size-fits-all' solution found online.
Common Myths Debunked
Myth: 'More products give better skin.' Fact: Overloading skin causes irritation. Less is often more.
Myth: 'Natural ingredients are always safe.' Fact: Natural elements like poison ivy are harmful. Safety depends on formulation.
"While working on this project, I learned how misinformation can affect our skin health. Comparing myths and facts helped me become more aware of what really works and what doesn’t."
