The 10 most popular health traps

It is a woman's nature to love beauty. For the sake of beauty, women are willing to try various beauty and body methods, but women should be careful! Many methods may actually be wrong beauty traps!

1. The whiter your teeth are, the faster they decay

Brushing your teeth with toothpaste that contains bleach can damage your teeth. If you hear this kind of statement many times, you will be affected to some extent. But the truth is: toothpaste with brightening effect will not damage teeth and can be used for daily brushing with confidence. Because the white pigment contained in this type of toothpaste can not only clean the teeth thoroughly, but also protect the enamel of the teeth.

Expert tip: Toothpaste for smokers contains decontamination particles. If you brush your teeth too hard, it may cause certain damage to the surface of your teeth. You should use it with caution and use it less. It is best to use it alternately with regular toothpaste.

2. Regular trimming will make your hair thick and beautiful

Get haircuts regularly and get them trimmed frequently to ensure you have beautiful, thick hair. Do you really believe it and go to the hair salon once a week? But unfortunately, you will find that your hair does not become thicker as a result.

Expert Tip: Whether hair grows fast or slow is not affected by external factors. The key is the hair root, which is solely responsible for hair growth. No matter how many times you trim your hair, it will not stimulate and speed up its growth.

3. Sunscreen cosmetics can prevent sun spots

Nowadays, many beauty and cosmetics companies have launched a number of cosmetics with UV filtering functions. However, the UV protection properties of these cosmetics are usually not enough to protect against strong sunlight, let alone prevent the formation of sun spots.

Expert tip: Sunscreen means you don't have to wear any makeup to fully enjoy your sunbathing experience. For sensitive facial skin, you should use a product with the highest possible SPF.

4. The more you shave your body hair, the more it grows

Do unsightly body hairs grow back even more after shaving? People who shave their leg hair usually feel that the new hair grows thicker than before.

Pro tip: It looks like this. Because the tips of the newly grown hair have just been shaved, they appear coarser and harder than the worn-out hair before shaving.

5. Cellulite is caused by being overweight

Are all overweight women with thick thighs afflicted with cellulite?

Expert tip: This is a false statement because cellulite is not caused by weight but by the loosening of connective tissue. Weak connective tissue is hereditary, and women's connective tissue automatically loosens as they age.

6. Hot water bath can open pores and make skin whiter.

There are risks to your skin from taking a hot bath. There is nothing more pleasant and wonderful than taking a hot bath with aromatic bubbles! But some people say not to take a bath too often because hot baths will dry out your skin! In fact, as long as you pay attention to the following two points, the above statement will lose its basis: first, the water should not be too hot, the water temperature should not exceed 38 degrees Celsius, and second, do not soak for too long, preferably within 20 minutes, then a hot bath will not cause damage to your skin. After 20 minutes, please be sure to finish bathing and get out of the bathtub.

Expert Tip: Mild bath gel or cleansing soap (such as those containing ash oil, palm oil, avocado oil, etc.) can prevent skin from drying out. Do not rub your skin hard after bathing, and don't forget to apply body cream containing moisturizing ingredients.

7. Mascara breaks eyelashes

Will mascara break eyelashes? If you apply mascara too often and too thickly, your eyelashes will become thinner and thinner!

Pro tip: This is a completely wrong view. The latest mascaras are packed with highly nourishing conditioning proteins to protect extremely sensitive lashes. However, if you frequently forget to remove your makeup at night, your eyelashes will certainly suffer.

8. Squeeze out acne directly with your hands

Do you have a lot of pimples on your face and it makes you look ugly? In order to avoid attracting attention, you often become impatient and squeeze them out immediately when the pimples just appear and before they mature. This is the most commonly used "magic method" for eliminating acne by people, especially young women. Little do you know that squeezing will often bring you unexpected dangers: the acne will be squeezed deeper into the skin tissue and leave ugly scars.

Expert tip: Never use your fingers to pop pimples! Instead, give your face a steam bath, then wrap your fingers in facial tissue and apply gentle pressure to squeeze the pimples out.

9. Chemicals in nail polish damage nails

Nail polish is a cosmetic that contains extremely toxic chemicals that can damage your nails. Indeed, that was the case in the past. But now cosmetics manufacturers have responded by adding proteins and acrylics to nail polish to protect nails.

Expert tip: In fact, it is not the nail polish but the nail polish remover that causes damage to the nails. Therefore, you should choose nail polish remover carefully and pay attention to whether it contains substances that protect nails.

10. People with oily skin should wash their face frequently

Should people with oily skin wash their faces frequently? People with oily skin often have a shiny face, which looks very unsightly. Many people believe this popular beauty myth and really think that the only way to deal with a shiny face is to wash it frequently. But in fact, the result of doing so is just the opposite: the more you wash your skin, the drier it becomes, and the more oil is secreted.

Pro tip: People with oily skin only need to wash their face twice a day. Cleanse your skin morning and night with a non-soap cleanser, followed by a non-greasy day cream. For people with serious conditions, it is recommended to use a full set of oil-control skin care products, the effect will be more significant.
