Top 10 Beauty Myths

by Jessica 16. March 2009 03:39

Myths run rampant in every part of life and beauty ones are no exception to the rule. I'm sure you've heard tips and tricks like “Put mayo in your hair and it will strengthen it/help it grow/etc.” Below are the Top Ten Beauty Myths busted wide open.

 
     
  1.) Rubbing Lemon upon your teeth will give you the white smile you crave.

 

While this actually does work the price to the enamel on your teeth is not worth the results. Instead try brushing with water and baking soda 2-3 times a week for a whiter smile that will make you and your dentist happy!

  2.) Fake nails destroy and damage your real nails.

 

Simply not true. It is not the glue or the acrylic nails that damage your real nail, it is the process many use to remove them. Do not pull them off, pick at them, etc. instead go to the beautician who did your nails and have them removed properly.

  3.) Laser hair removal doe not work on light hair.

 

Proposterous and absolutely not true. It is true that laser hair removal works more effectively the FIRST time for darker hair and only about 80% on light hair, so if you're fair of hair schedule an additional appt. and you're good to go.

  4.) You need to cut your hair frequently if you wish it to grow.

 

Not true. The hair grows from the root so cutting its ends are not going to speed up the growth process. It will however help keep your hair style fresh and tangle free at the ends.

  5.) Petite girls can't pull off the sexy lingerie look.

 

Dumb, double dumb myth. On today's lingerie market there are so many styles, cuts, designers, and more that any woman wishing to spice it up no matter her size, body shape, and more is sure to find that special something!

  6.) Breakouts are brought on by oily skin.

 

While many associate pimples and breakouts with oily skin in truth there are many causes that could be at the root of the problem. If you've tried the line of products assciated with curing oily skin breakouts my advice is to try something for 'sensitive' skin and you will likely see results. You can also turn to your regular health care physician for more in-depth advice.

  7.) Organic products are weak and show little results.

 

Craziness! This myth is a bit on the older side since I have finally noticed the huge turn around in organic beauty products that are being marketed such as mineral based powders, and more. Truth: Organic products are the best you can get, try them!

  8.) You cannot pull off all colors.

 

This one is just irritating. With some style advice you can indeed wear the colors your heart desires. A few tips to wearing that fave color you've had your eye on is to pay close attention to the shade and its undertones in comparison to your complexion.

  9.) Chlorine colors your hair green.

 

Boy wouldn't the summer swim holes be out of business were this particular myth true! Copper...not chlorine colors the hair green. Stay away from copper coated pools and you're good.

 

 
  10.) Crossing your legs will give you spider veins.

 

Simply untrue. Most things like spider veins or vericosse veins are hereditary. If you're worried about getting either of these speak with your physician and consider asking your mother/grandmother/etc. if perhaps they run in the family.
