Busting Some Beauty Myths

Here are some common beauty myths that need some busting here and now: Those dark circles under your eyes aren't caused by lack of sleep, although less sleep will make them more prominent. Dark circles are heredity and there's really not too much that can be done about them, since facial bone structure has a lot to do with them. The best annecdote for them is a great concealer. Since most women have a yellow undertone, look for a concealer that is more yellow or orange in color to conceal. Those with pink undertones will need a more pink concealer to match skin tone. Another myth is that shaving will cause your hair to grow back thicker. This myth has been going around for years. If your secondary hair looks thicker, it's because it is thicker. Try waxing or using Veet (this is my new favorite product) for hair removal. Here's a myth I really hate and it's that cellulite can be removed by pills, creams or expensive machines. The best way to get rid of it is through diet and exercise, but those cellulite creams that are on the market will temporarily give the appearance of smoother skin. Also, try a self-tanner to give the illusion of smoother skin. Finally, you really need to use sunscreen every day, even if you are just driving in the car or sitting indoors. Windows don't protect you from the harmful rays of the sun so get in the habit of using a sunscreen first thing in the morning. Try one of the new continuous sunscreen sprays like the one from Neutrogena.
