A dermatologist has revealed three of the most common skincare ‘lies’ that you have to stop believing.<\/p>\n
The expertise was shared by Dr. Lindsey Zubritsky, a board-certified dermatologist based in Mississippi, in a TikTok video last week.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dr. Zubritsky\u00a0often takes to social media to share her extensive skincare tips, tricks and advice with her viewers and followers.<\/p>\n
In the video, Dr. Zubritsky began by debunking a myth about allergies to certain skincare products.<\/p>\n

Board-certified dermatologist Dr. Lindsey Zubritsky revealed the skincare lies that you have to stop believing\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
She said that these were the three most common misconceptions that she’s heard from patients\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘These are the three most common mistakes that I hear my patients make,’ Dr. Zubritsky began.<\/p>\n
‘It’s so common that I see these, and I really wanna make sure none of y’all are believing this.’<\/p>\n
The first sentiment that Dr. Zubritsky touched on was the fact that anything can break you out at any time\u00a0\u2014 something that she says is absolutely true.<\/p>\n
She explained that sometimes, she has patients come in with a rash that looks like contact dermatitis, to which she tells them it looks like they might be allergic to something.<\/p>\n
Oftentimes, though, they’ll say to her that they haven’t changed anything in their routine, but the dermatologist says it just doesn’t matter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘Here’s the truth, you can develop an allergy to anything at any time no matter how long you’ve been using it,’ Dr. Zubritsky maintained.<\/p>\n
Next up on the list of lies was the notion that you should stop using retinoid products in the summer.<\/p>\n
It’s something that Dr. Zubritsky said just simply wasn’t true.<\/p>\n

Dr. Zubritsky revealed that you can develop an allergy to anything at any time – and she also debunked the myth that you should stop using retinoids in the summer<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Dr. Zubritsky often takes to her various social media pages, like TikTok and Instagram, to share her tips, tricks and other skincare wisdoms\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘Another super common misconception that I see is people will come in in the summer and they’ll tell me that they stopped their tretinoin, or that you can’t use it in the summer,’ Dr. Zubritsky said.<\/p>\n
‘That could not be farther from the truth,’ she explained.<\/p>\n
The dermatologist furthered that the summer was actually a fantastic time to use the product, as it won’t cause certain side effects like irritation, because it’s not as dry outside.<\/p>\n
‘As long as you’re applying sunscreen, your risk of burning with tretinoin use is minimal,’ she assured.<\/p>\n
Last but not least, the skincare expert debunked a common misconception about acne medication.<\/p>\n
‘I need you to stop believing that acne medications work like that,’ she said as she snapped her fingers.<\/p>\n
The dermatologist explained that she often sees patients who will say a medication didn’t work for them, but only took it for two weeks.<\/p>\n
‘You need longer than two weeks,’ she explained. ‘On average, acne medications take about six to eight weeks to see results.<\/p>\n
‘So, don’t give up,’ Dr. Zubritsky concluded.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dr. Zubritsky also said that she oftentimes sees patients who only use acne medication for two weeks, and says it doesn’t work its magic overnight\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the comments section of the video, many seemed to agree with Dr. Zubritsky’s sentiments<\/p>\n
In the comments section of her video, some users seemed to agree with her sentiments and shared their own experiences.<\/p>\n
‘The first one looks like hives because my body would react but never knew from what,’ one person wrote.<\/p>\n
Another typed, ‘First problem happened to me with Cosrx Snail Mucin. Fine for a year, then all hell broke loose.’<\/p>\n
‘Also companies are constantly changing \u201crecipes\u201d without telling anyone so you could be allergic at some point,’ one person claimed.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
