Entry #10 - Busted! Beauty Myths you never knew were FALSE!

Hello! And Welcome. 

Today on "Myth - Dusters" we are going to BUST those Beauty myths that you never knew were just myths!

Now...Back to the Show. And, thank you to our sponsor MovieFone!

Myth #1 - If you cut your hair regularly, it will grow faster! FALSE

That is not true! Hair grows from the scalp, therefore cutting the ends will not make it grow faster.. The truth is: If you cut your hair it will continue to grow longer instead of breaking off, due to split ends. The moment hair grows out from your scalp it dies! So, cutting off those dead ends stops the split ends from splitting up the entire hair shaft, hence "appearance" of longer, thicker hair!  DEBUNKED!

Myth #2 - Using Preparation H under the eyes will erase dark circle! FALSE 

Again, untrue! The only thing Preparation H can do for your dark circles is to make you smell like you belong in a medical facility. Phenylephrine is the active ingredient in Preparation H. It is most commonly recognized for use in antihistamines and nasal decongestants. Chemically what it can do is constrict the blood vessels temporarily around the eyes to reduce the darker color, somewhat. The issue is that chemical should be nowhere near the sensitive tissue around the eyes. DEBUNKED!

Myth #3 - You don't need Sunscreen on a Cloudy Day! FALSE

This is absolutely NOT TRUE! In fact, because of the reflection of the sun off of the clouds, we should definitely be wearing sun screen and apply it often. Consider adding the application of sunscreen to your daily regimen. You and your skin won't be sorry. DEBUNKED!

All in all, we've heard about the great ideas that get passed around when it comes to beauty. The easiest thing to remember and that which will always be a constant is what you eat and what you apply to your hair, nails or skin should be natural products. Those that are for intended purposes!
