When it comes to maintaining healthy, beautiful skin well into your years, everybody is searching for answers. And many enterprising individuals are also all-too-ready to provide those answers — even if the evidence that they actually work is questionable.
With that in mind, we asked the skincare and beauty
researchers at Kristals Cosmetics for help in identifying the hot skin care
fads that seem a bit dubious. Here are some trends that you might want to steer
clear of.
#1
Eating Clay
Actress Shailene Woodley and other celebrities have drawn attention to this skincare trend. Supposedly consuming clay can draw toxins out of the body and enhance the skin’s appearance. The reality is that there’s little evidence that this works, and consuming clay can actually be harmful.

Fish Pedicures
You may have seen this novelty-looking pedicure on TV before, where an individual sticks their feet into a pool of water in order to allow a school of fish to gnaw off the imperfections. Not only does it sound kind of gross, it’s also drawn complaints and even been banned in some areas due to being unsanitary and placing the fish in a poor environment. It’s probably best to stick with standard pedicures.

#3
Bee Venom
This skin care fad gained widespread attention due to Kate Middleton’s use of it. The claim is that a low dose of bee venom actually soothes inflammation and stimulates the skin to produce more collagen. Though it’s now found in many products, there is little evidence that it actually works.

Salmon Enzyme
Here’s another recent skincare ingredient that’s intended to enhance youthful-looking skin and a healthy glow. It’s true that consuming salmon has noted benefits for other areas of the body due to its high levels of omega-3 fatty acids, but the jury is still out on whether or not it actually helps the skin.
