4 beauty myths that are worth believing

Most beauty myths seem believable seeing how they have been passed down from one generation to the next. Unfortunately, most are just that… myths. But we have found some that actually hold some truth to them and these are the ones that are worth believing.

#1 Tying your hair too tightly can cause your hair to fall out

Loving the tight ponytails and way-too-tight hairbuns? It’s time to reassess your hairstyles. Any hairstyles that create tension on your scalp and hair roots will stress the hair follicles and cause scarring, the hair loss becomes permanent.

Change up for looser hairstyles and nourish existing hair strands with a hair tonic such as Hair Recovery Strengthening & Rejuvenating Serum. Its state-of-the-art ingredients help to strengthen damaged hair, build volume and increase the diameter of hair shaft, encouraging new hair growth.

#2 Rubbing your eyes will cause wrinkles

The motion of rubbing your eyes pulls at the thin, delicate skin around the eye, causing creases and wrinkles over time. While it doesn’t occur overnight, it’s important to not make eye-rubbing a habit.

If you’re looking to halt or slow down those lines from forming around your eyes, invest in an eye cream or eye treatment oil that you can use every day. We love Emerald Oil Vitamin-enriched Anti-aging Eye Treatment that is non-oily and easily absorbed by the skin. The formulation not only softens fine lines and wrinkles, it also brightens up the eye area for a more youthful appearance.

#3 Certain foods can cause or worsen acne

You know how the saying goes, you are what you eat. While it’s not necessarily true that greasy food and chocolates will cause or worsen acne, there are certain foods that you should avoid for yourself. Everyone is different, while some may experience bloating from soy milk, others may be gluten intolerant.

If you can, take note of what you eat and steer clear of the food items that will cause you to have a breakout.

#4 Beer can thicken your hair

Ever heard of this one where a beer rinse can thicken your hair? Well, it seems the barley and hops used in beer are rich in vitamins and proteins, the very stuff that helps hair appear thicker, stronger and healthier.

If beer is not really your cup of tea, a shampoo such as Voluminate Super Growth & Renewal Hair Wash nourishes both the scalp and hair with its star ingredients, minoxidil and gingko biloba. Both of these ingredients work in tandem to reduce hair loss and rescue thinning hair.
