Too often, people believe too much of what they see or hear on the Internet, in magazines, or on television. Through doing a little bit of research and digging, our expert dermatologists in San Diego wanted to share with our readers some of the most popular beauty myths that are still extremely common today, and how they could actually be doing more harm than good.
Dry Skin Causes Wrinkles
Some people think that dry, cracked skin can lead to additional wrinkles on your face and body. In reality, dry skin has nothing to do with the number of wrinkles seen on your face, as wrinkles, crow’s feet, and fine lines appear as a result of collagen loss. The best way to combat wrinkles is to apply face creams containing retinoids and SPF, as well as the use of Botox and facial fillers. To learn more about Botox, visit fda.gov
Dark Circles Are Caused By Lack Of Sleep
One myth that we all may be guilty of believing is that dark under eye circles are actually a result of not enough sleep. This, however, is actually untrue. Dark circles under the eye are actually caused by veins in the extremely thin under eye skin. At Cosmetic Laser Dermatology, our dermatologists are extremely skilled in the treatment of under eye veins with the help of lasers, meaning no surgery is required to diminish their appearance.
100 Brush Strokes Brings Healthy Hair
Perhaps one of the earliest beauty myths we ever learn is this: brushing your hair one hundred times before bed will leave you with long, healthy, and strong hair. However, brushing your hair too much can actually lead to breakage, which leaves hair looking unhealthy and weak—the complete opposite of shiny! According to several beauty experts, your fingers actually make the best comb or brush. Using your fingertips to remove tangles is actually the gentlest on your hair.
