EARLY MORNING SKIN CARE TIPS
Experts suggest that each one of us should come out of these skin care myths and follow only those tips which we think are good for the skin depending on the type of skin you have. Today, Boldsky has busted some of the myths related to skin care and we think you should take a look:
This is one of the many myths we should get rid of immediately. Shaving does not make the hair growth thicker. Truth be told, when you shave, the blunt edges of the hair regrow giving you an appearance of thicker and coarse hair.
If you want to get rid of body hair, you either wax or shave it. One can't get rid of body hair through exfoliating. Exfoliating the surface of the skin is not going to change the metabolism of the follicle underneath the skin.
If you've been dry brushing all these years in trying to get rid of cellulite, you've been wasting your time. Dry brushing does not get rid of the problem, there are other home remedies which help to smoothen your skin and eventually treat cellulite.
Sunscreen lotions offers you protection from UVA and UVB rays, so this does not mean that the more application coats you apply will make a difference. The sunscreen lotion you use should have an SPF of 15 at least.
It is important to apply sunscreen even on a cloudy day as UV radiation from the sun still reaches the earth's surface. It is necessary you apply the lotion before swimming and even on a regular basis.
No doubt expensive skin care products are gentle on the face, but it doesn't hold true that only the expensive products work best. This is one of the many myths we need to stop believing in.
No matter what complexion you have, it is recommended that every type of skin needs sunscreen, a layer of protection from the sun.
Did you ever notice this - the moment you pop a pimple another one comes up! The reason being, the infection from the zit gets transferred to a new part and thus creates another pimple. This is why squeezing pimples to heal is just a myth.
