3 Great Beauty Myths Revealed
by Kelsey on Nov.19, 2009, under Fashion
It’s tough being a woman nowadays. Being bombarded with messages about what we should wear, eat, do and say is tough. Here we have cut out some of the fat from the beauty myths out there giving you the truth, the whole truth and nothing but:
Beauty Myth #1: Toothpaste can cure pimples
Well, yes. Toothpaste has menthol and other active ingredients that can dry up a pimple and make it heal much quickly than if left alone. However, the same active ingredients in toothpaste that can heal a pimple can also dry up and irritate the skin of your face, so it is better to use a pimple cream rather than toothpaste for your pimple.
Beauty Myth #2: Mayonnaise makes for a great conditioner.
No, this one is not a myth. Mayonnaise, as long as it is real, does make for a great hair conditioner. The oil and eggs that can be found in real mayonnaise is rich in fatty acids and protein that nourishes the hair.
Beauty Myth #3: Applying ice to the skin makes the pores smaller.
Nothing can make the pores smaller. The size of our pores is the result of genetics, not of temperature applied on the skin, so some people just have smaller pores than others.
