10 claims about self-care that you do not need to believe unconditionally

452444

Cosmetics manufacturers use statements for advertising that are often not so true.

Website I decided to find out what is true and what to stop believing.

1. The hair becomes thicker and stiffer when removed with a razor





Myth. In fact, the razor does not affect the thickness, stiffness or speed of hair growth. The effect of hard hair, which occurs a few days after shaving, is created due to blunted tips. The longer the hair grows, the softer it seems.

2. Chocolate causes acne





Myth. But only partially. In fact, any sugar-containing products, which include milk chocolate, cause a sharp increase in blood glucose, which affects the work of the sebaceous glands and can adversely affect the skin. Another thing is a few slices of dark chocolate with a high cocoa content, which will not affect the condition of the skin.

3. Cucumber helps relieve swelling of the eyes





Really. Due to the content of vitamins A and E, the cucumber mask reduces swelling and helps cell regeneration. In addition, this mask has a brightening effect and helps fight pigmentation and dark circles.

4. Thermoprotective hair spray is needed only for those who constantly use a hairdryer and plying





Myth. UV rays, which affect hair while under the sun, negatively affect the condition of hair even more than the use of hot tools for styling. Stylists advise using thermal sprays not only before laying, but every time you go outside, especially in the warm season.

5. Shampoo should be changed often because hair gets used to it and shampoo stops working





Myth. Shampoo has only one function – to cleanse the scalp and hair of contaminants. Whatever the manufacturers promise on the label, shampoo has no other effects, unlike balm or mask. So if the shampoo cleanses well and satisfies you in all respects, you can safely use it constantly, it will work the same way.

6. Toothpaste can help get rid of pimples





Myth. Among other things, toothpaste contains menthol, which, when hit by an open inflamed pimple, can worsen the situation. Although if it is closed and uninflamed, toothpaste will help to dry it. But it is better to still use special cosmetics that are applied point-by-point.

7. You have cleaned your skin well if it creaks





Myth. The feeling of tightness of the skin is not a guarantee that it is well cleaned. Skin screeching signals that you have chosen the wrong means for washing or wash too often. Beauticians advise to choose soft means for washing and be sure to moisturize the skin after the procedure.

8. We can't hear our perfume





Really. After a while, we stop hearing the smell. It seems to us that he cannot be heard by others. In fact, our receptors get used to the smell and stop noticing it, but others still feel it. So don’t wear too much perfume. It is enough to apply a drop by the ear, on the neck, on the bend of the elbow and on the wrist.

9. If you are already a little sunburned, you are not afraid of sunburn





Myth. In fact, the opposite is true. Cells already damaged by UV rays release even more pigment, which can lead to serious consequences. There is no such thing as a safe tan. But if you still decide to sunbathe, be sure to use sunscreen.

10. You can not apply oil on oily skin





Myth. Oily skin needs moisturizing more than others. It is because of constant drying that the body produces more skin oils to moisturize it. If you have oily skin, look for oily products to cleanse and moisturize the skin.
