The world of beauty is masked in mystery. Behind the flimsy veil of these time-
Beauty Myth: Botox can cause facial paralysis
Beauty Truth: Botox does cause slight, temporary muscle paralysis. To cause complete paralysis, you would have to inject huge doses. What botox does is to relax muscle contractions that aggravate wrinkle formation. It is, however, broken that it will down by the body within six months.
Beauty Myth: The more expensive the product, the better it is
Truth: Yes, let's admit it, good quality comes with a premium price tag. But it does not necessarily mean that it will deliver better results. Understand and know what works for your skin. Always request for product samples at beauty counters before parting with your precious dollars.
Myth: Applying toothpaste on spots help them go down
Truth: Toothpaste contains little amount of Triclosan, the same anti-
Myth: You do not need to wear sunscreen during winter or cloudy days
Truth: Ever wondered why you still get a tan in air-
Beauty Myth: Cocoa butter prevent stretch marks
Beauty Truth: Stretch marks occur when the skin expand quickly and breaks supportive fibers like collagen and elastin. Cocoa butter and other oil emollient such as olive oil only soften external skin temporarily. Laser skin resurfacing penetrates deeper.
Beauty Myth: Rubbing your eyes causes wrinkles
Beauty Truth: Gravity, sun damage, repetitive motion of facial muscles and the breakdown of collagen are the actual culprits.

You will probably end up smelling like stale sandwich and a messy bathroom. Not worth trying. It is much wiser to use store bought products instead.
Beauty Myth: Regular trims make your hair grow thicker, fuller and faster
Beauty Truth: This is totally ridiculous. Trimming does not alter the fact that hair grows about half an inch every month. If it was the case, men suffering from sparse hair condition will be running to barbers every other week to try growing their hair back faster! A healthy diet rich in proteins like fish, lean meat and eggs is the secret to luscious locks.
Beauty Myth: You can shrink the pores on your face
Beauty Truth: Wrong again. This myth fuels the cosmetic industry. Your pore size
is genetically determined and cannot be minimized no matter how expensive the cream
you use. They may appear larger because of bacteria and dead skin cells that build
up. To visibly reduce their appearance,keep your face clean with cleansing products
that contain salicylic acids, AHA & BHA. Retinol-
