The Truth Behind Beauty Myths

While we hear a lot of dos and don’ts in beauty care here and there from time immemorial, with some even from grandparents’ era, let’s know the facts once and for all!

1. “Shaving causes hair to grow back thicker.” Hair grows back at another angle which causes them to look thicker.

2. “Split ends can be repaired.” Hair can never be fused together. Chop it off already!

3. “Lemon juice or beer will lighten your hair.” Pouring a whole carton or a case on your head will only make you sticky and leave you a nasty burn especially when you’re out on a hot day.

4. “Brushing hair 100 times a day will make it shine.” Sure, it helps distribute your hair’s natural oils but it will only promote hair loss!

5. “Putting toothpaste on zits helps clear them up.” Certain ingredients in toothpaste do dry them up but always trust proper treatment meant for pimples and acne. You’ll only risk of worsening the condition of your skin.

6. “Acne is caused by dirt.”  Even with proper skin care, it can still be caused by hormonal imbalance.

7. “Cutting your eyelashes will make them grow longer.” You’re only risking your eyes with that sharp pair of sissors and your lashes will never grow longer if you cut them. Switch to a lash-lengthening mascara instead!
