Men’s Skincare Myths That Are Making Your Skin Worse

There’s a lot of bad skincare advice out there — especially for men. Some of it sounds logical. Some of it comes from TikTok. And some of it is just outdated nonsense. Either way, believing these myths can seriously mess up your skin.

Let’s bust the worst offenders — and show you how RAVEN by KRAVE helps you skip the BS and actually get results.

Myth #1: “I Don’t Need Skincare. I Just Use Soap.”

Bar soap strips your skin’s natural oils, damages your barrier, and leaves your face tight, red, and prone to breakouts. It’s not skincare — it’s sabotage.

Myth #2: “Skincare Is Only for Women”

Male skin is actually thicker, oilier, and more prone to irritation from shaving. Skincare isn’t vanity — it’s maintenance. And it matters.

Myth #3: “The More Products, the Better”

Layering 6 steps isn’t efficient — it’s overwhelming. Especially if the products don’t work together. One high-performance product often does more than five.

Myth #4: “My Skin Will Fix Itself”

Skin heals — but only if you support it. Ignoring dryness, irritation, or oiliness doesn’t make it go away. Smart care does.

Myth #5: “Harsh = Effective”

That burning sensation? It’s not working — it’s harming. Good skincare calms, balances, and rebuilds. That’s what RAVEN is built for.

So, What Should You Actually Do?

  • Wash your face with a mild cleanser
  • Apply RAVEN morning and night
  • Keep it consistent — that’s what matters most
