1. Smiling makes both you feel better and those around you feel better, but too many smiles, like too many squints doing facial exercises will scruntch your face into permanent furrows. We have all seen it and Studies have proved it. The fix: smile politely, smile to your friends, and consciously un-smile when alone or relaxing. And for really bad habits you have to break: eye twitching and frowning you don't even know you do, there's Botox!
2. Potent light treatments can kill skin bacteria and heal acne, but a simple tan won't be enough skin heat to do that, but yet over time contribute to skin aging. A glow of mineral make up with nutrients and antibacterial agents will bronze safely and to promote long lasting health in your skin you need to include healthy eating, vitamin intake, exercising, and using proper cleaning your skin can!
.3. Exfoliating gently not washing with soap helps to cure acne. Harsh soaps are one of the biggest mistakes you can make and more scrubbing is not better when it comes to the skin. It is ok to clean grime, dirt, sweat, oil, but healthy skin cells are to be treated gently with proper exfoliating blends of cleansers. Alpha-hydroxl acid lotions that clean up old cells and generate new ones is also advisable as well. Education in this area is also invaluable.
4. Wrinkles can be erased with wrinkle creams. No, creams are temporary, only treatments like lasers, Botox and fillers can actually erase furrowed wrinkles.
5. Squeezing out the pus helps the pimple to heal it soon.No, another myth, and darn, your mom was right, this even makes it worse by letting more bacteria in where you are wanting it to heal!
6. Shaving the legs accentuates the growth of the hair. No, it is what it is as they say. Most hair growth is genetic. If you have hormone imbalances or have taken a medication with a side effect that can cause hair growth, then yes, you may see changes, but it wasn't because you shaved or waxed the area. Neither of those treatments will permanently reduce hair growth though, only laser treatments will do that.
.
7. Healing of wounds by Vitamin E ointment, is another myth! Silicone elastometer gels do work and good nutrition with Vitamin E foods will work. Good circulation to the area is helpful as well. Also avoiding infections helps your scars be pretty. Eventually poorly heaing has to be reversed with treatments like steroid injections and laser treatments.
8. Eating junk foods causes acne. No, another myth! Not good for you, can cause weight gain, lead to cancers, and all sorts of bad things. But many other factors cause acne including your male hormone levels which can be checked by a gyno.
9. Vitamin D is necessary. So, we should tan our skin more. No, tanning is not a good way to get most Vitamin D. Many excellent food sources of Vitamin D exist and as we get older the skin cannot produce Vitamin D as it did before anyway.
.
10. Some skin care products are effective for the elimination of cellulite. Again, another myth, just not true. You can hide it: like a self tanner or tight clothes, but to change it you have to break up both the fat underneath the layers as well as the pockets due to fiberous bands that create the dimpled look.
