When it comes to skincare myths, there are plenty floating around
the Internet and most people’s heads. But recently, I’ve noticed certain
myths are gaining steam—ones regarding the ingredients you should and
shouldn’t combine in your regimen. While it’s true that there are some
ingredient cocktails that aren’t ideal for your skin, there seems to be a
lot of misinformation about the exact effects of mixing specific
ingredients. People always say that if you want to tell a woman’s age, you
should look at her hands and neck. And there’s some truth to this:
because the skin is thin in these areas and constantly exposed to the
sun, they do tend to show age more quickly than other areas of the body.
But another often overlooked area of the face that shows age more
quickly is your mouth! Thinning, cracked lips are one of the telltales
of aging skin.
