Myth: The black stuff inside blackheads is deep-down dirt.
Fact:
Contrary to popular belief, the black inside a blackhead is not dirt, so it can't be scrubbed away. Dermatologists say the dark stuff is probably a combo of dead skin cells and sebum (oil). Unlike a whitehead, a blackhead is a clogged pore that is open at the skin's surface, so the material inside oxidizes and turns darker when it's exposed to the air. To help keep blackheads away, be sure to exfoliate. Try good skin™ microcrystal skin refinisher once a week, or polished skin gentle exfoliator 2-3 times a week.

Myth: A rinse with cold water and astringents can shrink pores.
Fact:
Everyone thinks their pores are too big. Genetics determine your pore size, and people with oily skin tend to have larger pores. Toners help make the opening look smaller, but physically, it doesn't change. Balance out oily skin and minimize the look of pores with good skin™ clean skin foaming cleanser and clean skin oil-free lotion.

Myth: You're either born with sensitive skin or you're not.
Fact:
Our bodies are changing all the time. In fact, the signs of sensitivity or easily irritated skin usually appear from age thirty on up, even in individuals who've never before experienced sensitivity. If your skin can become easily red and/or irritated, try good skin™ all calm™ creamy cleanser, all calm™ soothing toner, and all calm™ moisture cream.

Myth: People with olive or dark skin do not have to worry about sun exposure or sun burn.
Fact:
While it's true that darker skin types fare better in the sun than lighter skin types, Dermatologists recommend that everyone wear an SPF 15 or higher at all times. Hereditary factors play an important role in determining whether or not one may get skin cancer, but all the protection we can get is helpful. Always wear sunscreen and avoid tanning beds and burning. Try these good skin™ products:
