Truth Behind Some Beauty Myths

Today everybody is running behind beauty. But do you have any idea that there is some myth behind these beauty notions. I’ll show you these myths.

  • The first beauty myth is tweezing of white hair would give you more white hairs.
  • The next myth is that removing the hair with razor would make them grow thick and stiff.
  • Next is the belief that ice when applied to skin makes the skin stoma smaller. This is rubbish. Pores in the skin are a result of genes so nothing can make them smaller.

  • Fourth myth is that toothpaste can cure pimples. To some extent this myth is right as toothpaste has ingredients that can heal a pimple but at the same time it can cause irritation to the skin as well.
  • Some believe that applying beer before going out for a sun tan can make your skin glitter. This is nonsense. In fact one should avoid sun tanning unless you are going to use a self-tanner.
  • The conviction that crossing your legs would cause a disorder of veins called varicose veins is erroneous.
  • And the last myth from my side is that rinsing your feet when exhausted would cause the swelling of veins.

So this was all from my side. I hope the above beauty myths would help you judge better about your beauty. If you feel like, you may also add up to the list in comments.

I really believed a lot of these myths and I thought I was very beauty savvy!!! I currently use toothpaste to cure pimples! I read it in a Seventeen magazine when I was like 12 under an article about models’ beauty secrets!!! Can you believe it!!! I also don’t cross my legs trying to avoid varicose veins! I don’t know how long I’ve been doing that! This article is making me question every little thing I’m doing now! :)
