True beauty myths
Rumors spread - and when girls talk about beauty, the word gets out! What works for some women, doesn't always work for others. Some advice is actually right on - like the following truths that lie beneath the myths.
Myth: Cutting cuticles will make them grow back thicker.
Truth: True, and not good for your nails! Cutting cuticles triggers regenerative receptors that tell your body to protect weak areas. This practice is also a major culprit that causes infections and can lead to permanent damage. Simply ask your nail technician to push them back instead.
Myth: Never use soap to cleanse your face.
Truth: Soap over-cleanses the skin - removing natural oils and moisturizers that maintain a balanced complexion.
Myth: Once hair gets to a certain length, it stops growing.
Truth: Hair grows a half inch per month. It stops growing when there are split ends which become too weakened to grow further.
Myth: Sun cures blemishes!
Truth: Initially, this is true, but in the long run it causes permanent damage: spots, lines and wrinkles. Always wear SPF of at least 30 when in the sun.
Myth: Consuming large amounts of water will reduce cellulite!
Truth: Gulp down this purifying drink to reduce cellulite, which is caused by fat deposits in the tissue. Drinking lots of water will eventually flush them out.
Myth: Hair needs protection from the sun.
