Common Beauty Myths
September 11, 2008
There are many beauty myths prevalent since ages. These misconceptions are sometimes really harmful and deprive us from the proper gain of the scientific and technical advancement in the field of beauty. It has been a misconception that soap is bad for skin, but false. The older soap formula used to contain animal fats and vegetable oils but theses days the soaps are formulated to be milder and also contain moisturizers. This does not dry out your skin. Moreover, clean skin is better than dirty skin.
Some people believe antiperspirants can cause cancer, but scientifically there is no evidence linking antiperspirants and cancer. It is said that split ends can be repaired.
But the only way to remove split ends is to cut the split end. It should be prevented to grow further with good hair care. Dry skin causes wrinkle is partly true as most of the wrinkles are caused from the sun. It is commonly believed that acne and pimples can be washed away but scrubbing too much increases oil production and only worsens the condition. Sticking to one brand and line of products is general suggestion but this beauty myth is just a tactic by cosmetic manufacturers to keep customers stick to their brand.
The sunscreen not required on a cloudy day is a myth because the UV radiation penetrates clouds and can still cause tanning and wrinkling of your skin.
Natural ingredients do not cause allergy is a misconception. A natural as well as chemical ingredient can trigger a skin reaction if you are allergic to it. Chocolate and greasy foods cause acne is a very common misconception. The truth is still not proven what kind of food causes breakouts. You can shrink the pores on your face. Scalp massage can turn around hair loss is another silly myth because it strengthens hair.
