It is very important to apply a generous amount of sunscreen on cloudy days
Skincare plays a major part in our daily beauty routine. You might be keen on buying makeup products to look your best at an event. While there's no harm in that, equal attention should also be given to products that will keep your skin healthy. A good skincare regimen helps your skin look more hydrated, prevent wrinkles, reduce blemishes, restore firmness, and offer even texture. With this being said, there are certain factors associated with taking good care of your skin. Overapplication of products can do more damage than good. Similarly, there are certain DIY beauty hacks and methods followed by people that can have serious side effects too.
If you are wondering what's best for your skin, then look no further. Cosmetic dermatologist Jaishree Sharad is here to bust your myths and replace them with facts. In a detailed video on Instagram, she highlighted some do's and don'ts related to skincare.
The more you scrub, the cleaner your skin will be
According to Jaishree Sharad, the notion is false. Scrubbing too much can damage your protective skin barrier layer making the skin prone to allergies, eczemas, infection, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Sunscreen should be applied on cloudy days
Yes, it is true. 70 percent of the UVA rays penetrate through the clouds. So it is very important to apply a generous amount of sunscreen on cloudy days.
A healthy lifestyle can delay the signs of aging skin
You need no expert opinion to understand that a healthy, nutritious diet is the key to delaying ageing signs. Skincare is holistic. Healthy eating, sleeping on time, exercise, no smoking, no alcohol, and a simple skincare routine are what one needs for radiant skin.
Stress can cause acne and hair fall
Yes, stress will increase the cortisol hormones in your body leading to hair fall.

Jaishree Sharad does not recommend this DIY beauty trick. Lemon can irritate the skin and cause pigmentation or even scarring.
