5 myths about beauty

We often think that we know almost everything about favorite creams, decorative cosmetics or beauty procedures. But even where we are considered true connoisseurs, there is a place for myths and misconceptions. About five of them today and there will be a speech.


1. Is it necessary to rub the face with ice?

Many women are sure that this is very useful for our skin. But, unfortunately, this is not always the case. According to one American academician of sciences of cosmetology dermatology, low temperatures are more harmful, in contrast to high temperatures, as they cause stress.

With the constant use of ice, there is then an expansion of the vessels, then their constriction. Yes, this is a wonderful physiological effect, but not for the skin of the face. After all, every person knows from the school bench that any expansion or contraction of bodies ultimately leads to expansion. Regularly wiping the skin with ice, thereby you break the inflow to the face, there is a network of capillaries, hated by all women, protruding to the surface.

2. Thanks to properly selected skin, you can solve skin problems.

According to experts, the problems that arise with a person, solve creams is almost impossible. Skin condition is considered a product of the body's activity. If everything is all right with him, then the skin looks good. And vice versa. Cosmetologists say that there are many women, the body that allows you not to look after your face skin. They need to regularly cleanse it and sometimes make masks.

Therefore, it is better not to take care of the skin at all, than to provide it with improper care.

3. It is good for the skin when a lot of cream is not given.

It is not true. All the necessary is reached with a minimal amount, so it is important to apply the cream on a face layer. To achieve the expected effect, half a gram is sufficient. By the same token, many acids and extracts are included in the composition of modern creams, which require careful handling. This is a remedy, with an overdose of which it is possible to cause complications in the form of various allergic reactions, dermatitis and the like. Moderation is more important than ever. Moreover, if you first purchase a cream, before applying care, first spread a small patch of skin on it and look at the reaction.

4. One single cream forever
Often you can hear that there are women who use the same cream all the time, because to it the skin of the face is used and without it it turns red and flakes.

In fact, no means of skin care are able to "program" it for good. Therefore, it is important to change the cream regularly. Almost every composition contains a chemical basis, and any chemistry is addictive. If we talk about the means of natural origin, then most often they include multiconservatives, which can cause allergies.

The skin has a good property: it suggests that it is more suitable. Once you notice a change in the reaction of the skin to cosmetics, to which she is accustomed, think, maybe you need to change the cosmetic.

Today, the purchase of creams has been transformed for many women into a so-called hobby. They buy something one-cream, then another, then the third. Meanwhile, abroad every year conducting research, according to which it is established that since the 80s, what is produced in the field of cosmetology is essentially the same. The difference is only in the properties indicated on the package and the sensations of a single consumer. Virtually nothing new is fundamentally new.

Ideally, the selection of a cream should be a specialist who is not interested in advertising a certain company, and guided by his experience and the state of your skin will tell you that it is necessary. On the other hand, every woman, knowing the peculiarities of her skin, can get similar creams and combine them.

5. Artificial or natural?

The composition of modern cosmetics includes a wide variety of ingredients. Previously, many of them were natural, but now almost every cream has components of chemical origin. Experts are sure that they are all similar to components of animal or plant origin.

However, the parties of cosmetics from natural raw materials claim that the naturalness is better than synthetics. There is a likelihood of the rightness of such an opinion, but it is not worth mentioning this groundlessly. For example, natural raw materials are not allergic to allergy because of the difficulty of achieving the required degree of purification. And the synthetic components, corresponding to any active substances, most often guarantee protection against allergic reaction. Therefore, sometimes synthetics are more preferable.
