"Beauty is, for the most part, a complete and utter mystery. That's why there are so many opinions, products, and experts out there\u2014can you really tell what's working versus what isn't? Does that one miracle BB cream truly work on all skin tones? Is this actually the best red lipstick on the whole entire planet?\n\n It's always a good idea to gather a second opinion on subjective matters. But what can be harmful (and sometimes, scary) about improper beauty advice is that technology seems to be outpacing education. That means the old lessons your grandma was taught about, say, sunscreen are completely rewritten by now.\n\n It's impossible to know it all. So instead of even bothering with all the little details, let's focus instead on the bigger picture. Like, for instance, your super-bronzed friend who tells you that SPF is only necessary if you have fair skin. Sure, the statistics support that instances of skin cancer are higher among the more porcelain-complected among us, but that absolutely doesn't mean daily sun protection isn't necessary. And, while we're on the topic of SPF, it's not just for the beach\u2014you can get UV ray exposure through car windows and even on your quick walk from the car to class.\n\n And, oh, you thought your daily BB cream had you covered, right? Think again! \"The small quality of sun protection in makeup is not enough to shield you from UVA and UVB damage,\" says Annet King, Dermalogica's director of global education. \"You should be using about a teaspoon of sunscreen on your face and neck to get an adequate amount of protection.\"\n\n Click here to see the full list of skincare lies you've been told\u2014and how to fix them!"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
