1, a great analysis of beauty remedies
1. Cucumber slices, Leng Cha bags and hemorrhoid ointment can alleviate the problem of eye bags. No!
Dermatologist PeterVignjevic said: "These tricks are actually useless! No one knows what the real cause of eye swelling is, but it is likely that excess fat accumulates in the eyes. To completely solve it, excess skin and fat can only be removed by surgery. " However, some beauty products specifically for eye bags and dark circles can still play a positive role in dealing with eye problems.
2. Comb your hair 100 times every night to keep your hair healthy and shiny. No!
"When you comb your hair with pure bristles, natural oils will be transferred to your hair with the bristles, so that your hair will become brighter." Hair stylist VarvatosJohnVarvatosSteinberg said. As for the number of combs, it's entirely up to you, if you have a good comb.
3. People with oily skin don't need moisturizing care. No!
"For people with oily skin, you only need moisturizing care after washing your face and drying it." Dermatologist PeterVignjevic said. There is one exception: if your skin is mixed, then you need a cream with a formula that won't cause acne. Refreshing and moisturizing products will not clog pores and will not grow acne.
4. Aluminum contained in antiperspirants can cause breast cancer. No!
The Canadian Cancer Society said that so far, there is no evidence that there is a link between aluminum and breast cancer. It's just that people worry that aluminum, salt and other chemicals interfere with the operation of breast cells through axillary lymphocytes, which is unfounded.
Applying vaseline to eyelashes can make them grow faster. No!
Optometrist MonicaFurmiss said: "The thickness and length of eyelashes depend entirely on genetic factors." In fact, the sticky paste vaseline coated on eyelashes will block the eye glands at the edge of the inner eyelid, and our eyes need to rely on the glands to produce tears to wash away the dirty things in their eyes to prevent bacterial infection.
6. The hundreds of grams of lipstick you consume every year will be harmful to your health. No!
A woman consumes about four milligrams of lipstick every day on average, which means that even if you consume 200 grams of lipstick, you still need to use lipstick every day for hundreds of years. And according to the survey, even if you use this amount of lipstick, it won't do any harm to your body. But if you don't want lipstick to be the "seasoning" of food, you have to get into the habit of removing makeup before eating.
7. You can't completely eliminate cellulite. No!
"Because we don't know what caused the orange peel tissue (orange peel tissue), we can only hope that this is only a temporary shape change." Plastic surgeon MariuszSapijaszko said. You can apply some prescription creams containing vitamin A to relieve the symptoms of cellulite, and another is "subcutaneous resection" to eliminate cellulite.
Storing perfume in the refrigerator can make the fragrance last longer. No!
MarianBendeth, a perfume expert, said: "The oil in perfume will penetrate into all the objects containing fat, such as butter and milk that you put in the refrigerator, thus causing pollution. In fact, the correct way is to put the fragrance in a cool and backlit place. "
9. The bifurcated hair tail can be repaired. No!
"It is impossible to make the bifurcated hair ends heal again! Trimming the split is the best way to prevent the split from hurting the whole hair. However, if you leave your hair for too long or your hair is naturally prone to split ends, I suggest you use professional salon products containing regulators and make hair masks regularly, which can nourish your hair and strengthen your hair quality. " JohnSteinberg, a hair stylist, said, "Remember, long-term use will help solve the problem that the hair ends are easy to split."
10. Drinking light salt water in the morning is good for your health. No!
Drinking light salt water is good for health. It is necessary to drink light salt water to replenish water after sweating in summer. However, supplementing water in the morning is not beneficial, but harmful to health. According to physiological research, although people can't get any water during the whole night's sleep, breathing, perspiration and urination are all going on, and these physiological activities consume a lot of water. When I got up in the morning, my blood had become concentrated. At this time, if you drink a certain amount of boiled water, you can quickly dilute the blood and correct hypertonic dehydration at night. On the contrary, drinking salty boiled water will aggravate hypertonic dehydration and make people more thirsty. What's more, the morning is the first peak of human blood pressure rise. Drinking salt and boiled water will raise blood pressure and endanger health.
1 1. Drink coffee to lose weight. No!
Studies have found that caffeine has the effect of draining water and reducing swelling, and most slimming products used for smearing contain caffeine. So, can drinking coffee directly reduce weight more effectively? In fact, caffeine in coffee can't help you lose weight. Excessive drinking can even lead to acceleration, high blood pressure and insomnia. Coffee with milk and sugar makes you fat more easily. In addition, coffee is acidic and will remain in the human body for a long time before it is decomposed, which is easy to increase the burden on organs. Of course, drinking coffee and tea often has diuretic effect, but the weight lost is the loss of water, not fat, and its slimming effect is very weak.
12. Toothpaste is the best weapon against acne. No!
Dermatologist PeterVignjevic said: "Although some toothpastes contain benzene peroxide (an ingredient for treating acne, which also has whitening effect), there is actually no scientific basis for using toothpaste to remove acne. Some care products specifically for acne contain other effective anti-acne ingredients besides benzene peroxide! So, if you have acne, don't think that toothpaste can eliminate it.
13. Never squeeze acne. Partially correct!
The best time to eliminate acne is when it matures. The following are the rules for squeezing acne: First, make sure the tip of acne is white. Second, clean your fingers and tools. Third, wash your face. Fourth, use facial tissue to absorb the squeezed liquid. Fifth, after the acne scar, let it naturally heal and fall off, and don't use your hands to uncover the scar.
14. You don't need toner. Partially correct!
"Toner can gently remove dead skin, but it is not necessary," said dermatologist PeterVignjevic. But for people with blackheads and acne, some fruit acids contained in toner can remove dead skin cells that block pores and prevent acne. At the same time, using toner can also bring a cool and comfortable feeling.
15. Don't wax and remove hair during physiological period. Yes!
"Hormone changes in the body before and during the physiological period will increase the sensitivity of nerve endings, which means that waxing will feel more pain during this period." Hair removal expert NicoletteOakwellMorgan said. The best time for waxing is after the physiological period.
2. Misunderstanding of dry skin muscle maintenance
1. Excessive use of moisturizing spray
Moisturizing spray can temporarily replenish the water that the skin lacks, but if it is used excessively, it may be counterproductive. Replenishing water cannot prevent water shortage. Experts point out that the process of spraying water and skin exchange is only a short time, and it will evaporate soon, and the evaporation of water on the skin surface will take away the water inside the skin, thus making the skin drier. In addition, some substances in the spray that are not absorbed by the skin will remain on the surface of the skin after evaporation, which is easy to breed bacteria and form inflammation of small hair follicles.
So before using moisturizing spray, be sure to clean your face, and then spray the spray on your face. After the moisture comes into contact with your skin for about a minute, gently suck it with cotton facial tissue or cotton pad, and then apply it to your skin with moisturizing products, so as to firmly lock the moisture.
2. Hydrate only at night.
Many people only do hydration work at night, and the best hydration time is early morning. 12 during the afternoon to 2 am, skin metabolism is at its peak, but it is not the best time to replenish water. Because people usually evaporate about 200 ml of water during sleep, when they get up in the morning, their skin is in a state of physiological water shortage. At this time, it is best to do a good job of replenishing water.
So it is also important to replenish water in the morning!
Drink water hard, your skin won't dry.
Science has proved that drinking a lot of water at once has little effect on relieving dry skin, because although water is transported to skin cells, it is usually metabolized before it reaches the skin. Moreover, drinking plenty of water will take away many useful electrolytes and minerals in the body, which are important water-locking elements in the skin.
Tip: Drinking 1800 ml of water is enough to provide the skin with daily water demand. Cold boiled water has a better water supply effect than hot boiled water, and can also help maintain the easily lost water at the best level. Drink a cup of cold boiled water before taking a bath or shower to prevent the water under the skin from evaporating quickly.
4. The thicker the moisturizing product is applied, the better the effect will be.
Among the ingredients of moisturizing products, if it is a gel or jelly moisturizing product with high water content, even if it is rubbed very thick, it will evaporate water because of the dry climate. After entering autumn and winter, whether it is dry skin or oily skin, it is best to choose some high-quality moisturizing products with high oil content, or use moisturizing products with high oil content after water-based moisturizing products to achieve real moisturizing and water locking effect.
