5 Facial Myths Busted: What You Really Need to Know

Don’t Let Skincare Myths Keep You from Glowing Skin!

Say Goodbye to Skincare Myths & Hello to Beautiful, Balanced Skin

When it comes to skincare, misinformation is everywhere. From social media “experts” to old wives’ tales, it’s easy to fall for myths that may be doing more harm than good. At NeraStyles.com, we believe in empowering our clients with the truth—because informed skincare is effective skincare.

If you’ve been hesitant about booking a facial, let’s bust some of the biggest myths—and show you why a facial at NeraStyles is one of the best things you can do for your skin, especially in Phoenix’s desert climate.

Living in Phoenix? Here’s Why Your Skin Needs Extra Protection

Living in Phoenix means enjoying sun-soaked days nearly year-round, but it also means exposing your skin to intense heat, UV rays, and dry air. These conditions can lead to dehydration, premature aging, clogged pores, and dullness.


With relentless sun, dry desert air, and year-round heat, Phoenix weather puts your skin under constant stress. This can lead to dryness, premature aging, clogged pores, and irritation. If you're relying on just moisturizers or store-bought products, your skin is likely missing out.


That’s where NeraStyles.com steps in—with custom facials designed specifically for Arizona’s climate and your skin goals.

The Truth Hurts—But Your Skin Will Thank You

Myth #1:
Facials Are Only for Special Occasions


Truth: Consistency is key for healthy skin

Example:
You wait until prom, a wedding, or a vacation to book a facial. You enjoy the results—temporarily—then go back to neglecting your skin until the next big event.

Solution:
Just like brushing your teeth, facials work best as a routine habit, not a one-time fix. Regular treatments prevent buildup and keep your skin balanced and fresh.

How NeraStyles Helps:
Our affordable Express Facial or Hydrating Facial services are perfect for monthly maintenance, keeping your skin clean, moisturized, and glowing—even between big events.

Myth #2:
Facials Cause Breakouts


Truth: Proper facials reduce breakouts, not cause them


Example:

You got a facial once, and a few pimples showed up a day later. You swore them off forever.


Solution:

Breakouts after a facial are often due to purging—a short phase where deeply embedded impurities rise to the surface. But poorly performed facials or the wrong products can also trigger irritation.


How NeraStyles Helps:

Our licensed estheticians assess your skin before every treatment and only use non-comedogenic, professional-grade products. Our Acne Facial includes gentle exfoliation and targeted treatments to clear pores safely.

Myth #3:
All Facials Are the Same


Truth: Different facials target different skin needs


Example:

You tried one facial, didn’t notice much change, and assumed they’re all the same.


Solution:

Facials should be personalized. Oily skin needs a different approach than dry or aging skin. Choosing the right facial makes all the difference.


How NeraStyles Helps:

We offer 6 specialized facials, including:

• Anti-Aging Facial for fine lines

• Hydrating Facial for dry Phoenix skin

• European Facial for deep cleansing

• Back Facial for body breakouts

Each one is customized during a one-on-one consultation.

Myth #4:
If You Use Good Products, You Don’t Need Facials


Truth: Products help, but facials go deeper


Example:

You use premium skincare brands daily and think that’s enough.


Solution:

Even top-tier skincare doesn’t replace deep pore extraction, exfoliation, and professional skin analysis. Products maintain; facials transform.


How NeraStyles Helps:

Our facials include steam, exfoliation, and extractions—things your cleanser at home simply can’t do. Plus, we’ll recommend products suited to your skin, not just trendy ones.

Myth #5:
Facials Are Just for Women


Truth: Skin health has no gender


Example:

You think skincare is a “girl thing” or feel uncomfortable booking a facial as a man.


Solution:

Skin is skin. And Phoenix sun, dust, and pollution affect everyone equally.


How NeraStyles Helps:

Our facials are inclusive, gender-neutral, and results-driven. We welcome men, women, and non-binary clients and personalize treatments for your skin, lifestyle, and comfort.


Bonus Myth #6:
Facials Show Results Instantly


Truth: Great skin is a journey, not a one-time miracle


Example:

You get a facial and expect to look 10 years younger by the next morning. When that doesn’t happen, you feel disappointed or assume it “didn’t work.”


Solution:

Facials provide both immediate glow and long-term skin health benefits—but visible transformation often requires consistent care, hydration, and time. Like fitness, skincare builds results layer by layer.


How NeraStyles Helps:

We don’t sell quick fixes—we offer honest, sustainable skin solutions.
Our estheticians will guide you through a personalized skincare plan, suggest the right facial frequency, and recommend daily care tailored to Phoenix’s climate.
