You have probably already bought a shampoo and when you read the label with the instructions for use, you came across the phrase:? Lather, rinse and repeat the procedure? or something similar. But have you ever wondered if your hair really needs to be washed more than once on the same occasion?
The right answer is only a dermatologist, hairdresser or hairstylist can give. That is, considering your particular case: after all, if your strands are not greasy at all, they probably don't need to be soaped twice in the same wash.
However, some people believe that this is a rule and that unless hair is soaped at least twice with shampoo, it will not actually be clean.
But this is just one of the many doubts that circulate in the wide universe of beauty care, whether it be skin, hair or body in general. After all, among so many myths and some truths, what do you really believe ?!
Below you will find a list of some myths that have already been broken down and the clarification on others:
1. White hair growth is a purely genetic matter.
According to dermatologist Bianca Gastaldi, the presence of white hair and the age at which it begins to look in women, in fact, has a very strong relationship with genetics. "But stress, by leading to hormonal changes and vitamin and mineral deficiencies, can accelerate and accentuate the process," he says.
2. Removing a white hair causes other white hairs to grow around it.
Maybe you had already heard this? Advice ?. But dermatologist Bianca Gastaldi makes it clear that this is just a myth.
However, it is noteworthy that removing the strands of white hair is not a good idea and will not bring any significant results in the appearance of women. If the white hair is bothering you, the best way to try to solve the problem is to look for a hairdresser or hairstylist that may indicate good solutions for your case.
3. Hair grows faster in summer
It's a myth. Hair growth is not related to the season or season, but is related to its nutritional and hormonal state ?, highlights dermatologist Bianca Gastaldi.
4. Only teens have pimples
This is another myth. "It is now very common for acne to manifest or extend into adulthood," says dermatologist Bianca Gastaldi.
I have seen more and more cases of adult women with acne and this is related to hormonal changes, zinc deficiency (stress or smoking), use of comedogenic or improper cosmetics, expired makeup, use of hormones to gain muscle mass or supplementation without guidance. Anyway, these are some of the causes of acne after adolescence ?, adds the professional.
5. Some people are prone to acne and eating has no influence
Many people have some resistance to believing that eating can influence the appearance of acne on their face. But dermatologist Bianca points out that chocolate, for example, has this "negative power".
"Chocolate is a high glycemic index diet and can not only cause but also aggravate acne," he explains.
? In one study, which assessed more than 1,200 individuals from two non-Westernized societies (the Papavan New Guinea islet Kitavan and the Ache peoples of Paraguay), the absence of acne in these populations was attributed to their pattern. to feed. In their diets there is substantially low glycemic index compared to western diets ?, says the doctor. "Moreover, in epidemiological studies with the population of Inuit Eskimos, it was found that they did not have such acne until the introduction of Westernized eating habits," he adds.
6. Sunbathing is key to reducing pimples
Dermatologist Bianca explains that sunbathing even improves the amount of pimples on the face, but very transiently. ? During sun exposure we are exposed to ultraviolet radiation that has anti-inflammatory action? which would cause some improvement. But a few days later, can you even see a worsening stimulus that the same radiation would cause in the sebaceous gland stimulating it (rebound effect) ?, says. "Using sunscreen and sunning in moderation is the best course of action for acne," he adds.
7. Drinking fluids with straw causes more wrinkles to appear around the mouth.
It is not necessarily the act of drinking, sometimes, with a straw that will make the woman look older (by contributing to the appearance of wrinkles).
But it is true that very often repeated muscle movements can contribute to the appearance of fine lines and some wrinkles. But the straw is not that bad. Unless it was used many times, for a long time, every day.
Repeated movements with the lips can cause more wrinkles. And smoking or even people with micrognathism have a higher risk of early or more pronounced peribucal strain. The ideal would be to do gymnastic movements of compensatory perioral muscles in this case ?, adds dermatologist Bianca Gastaldi.
8. Removing the eyebrow with tweezers will make the hair grow thicker
Dermatologist Bianca Gastaldi says this is yet another beauty myth.
Today, this is the best known procedure for removing excess eyebrows, making the woman look and face more beautiful. And except for the hassle (which some people feel when removing the eyebrow strands), offers no major problems.
9. Sleeping in a bra is harmful to women
In fact, sleeping in a bra is not good or bad for a woman. According to dermatologist Bianca Gastaldi, it depends on the situation. • If she chooses to sleep with the garment, it is critical that the bra be comfortable and not limit circulation or cause discomfort. That is, models with frames or think ?, he adds.
10. Lymphatic drainage slows down
It is not correct to say that lymphatic drainage gets thinner. However, it is true that it helps in eliminating fluids from the body, as dermatologist Bianca explains.
And so it can be a complementary measure to people who are looking to lose weight (with a low calorie diet associated with physical activity) or simply have adopted a healthy lifestyle.
11. Soda Causes Cellulite
? Soda does not cause, but in fact, contributes to the worsening of cellulite. This is because soda and carbonated drinks are high in sodium (Na) and this mineral increases fluid retention and also contributes to fluid elevation, in addition to the normal versions are also very caloric and contribute to weight gain? dermatologist Bianca.
Some Truths About Beauty
But there are not only myths and legends within the universe of beauty! A lot of phrases and advice you may have heard make sense. After all, does removing the cuticles from the nail really hurt?
According to dermatologist Bianca Gastaldi, yes, "because the cuticle represents a defense of the region that separates the nail from the skin against the entry of microorganisms and this habit can increase the chance of infections in the skin around the nails," says .
Another doubt that arises among women concerns the beauty of the skin. What woman hasn't tried, at least once in her life, to put cucumber slices on her eyes to reduce dark circles ?!
The good news is that the procedure can really help! Cucumber has an anti-inflammatory and whitening active. But it is worth noting that the action is not lasting ?, explains dermatologist Bianca Gastaldi.
Now you know some myths about beauty and be aware of others who listen / read around! When in doubt, whether it be your hair, nails, skin or body, in general, always remember to consult a professional who can help you with the best advice.
