Skin And Hair Myths
There have been many myths about skin and hair care, we share some common misconceptions and clear the air. When it comes to your skin, do not go by hearsay. Listen to experts to debunk some of the most common mistakes.
1) Myth - Acne is caused due to impure blood or constipation.
Truth - Acne is caused by excessive sexretion of sebaceous glands, hormonal imbalances and stress. Impure blood and constipation has nothing to do with it. You can control acne by avoiding fancy, scented soaps, oil massages and excessive moisturising. Keep your face clean, wash it at least 2 to 3 times a day with a pH balanced face wash. Include green leafy vegetables in your diet.
2) Myth - Oiling hair everyday encourages growth
Truth - It is one of the most common myth. Oiling hair only protects your hair from dust, pollution, colour and external polutants. Regular application of oil has no relation to hair growth. When you scrub oil on your scalp, the hair merely soaks it up. It is this protected from the external factors. Oil cannot stimulate growth, so don’t expect long tresses with oily.
3) Myth - 8 glasses of water is good for skin.
Truth - This is a common recommendation from everyone, right from the supermodel in magazine to your neighborhood aunty. Though water is good for the body but the need varies from one person to another. For example a kidney or a heart patient may need more than 8 glasses of water everyday. Also if your diet is high on other water sources you needn’t necessarily consume eight glasses per day. Soup, buttermilk, cucumber, water melon and other foods high on water content should also be counted. But if you manage to gulp down more than eight glasses, good for you.
