Beauty Myths Debunked: Part 1

Time to set the record straight! Here are #'s 10-6 of the top 10 beauty myths we’ve all believed for far too long.

Myth #10: You can shrink your pores.
FALSE. It is impossible to change the size of your pores, but you can shrink them temporarily with certain beauty products.

Myth #9:
Your eyelashes will fall out if you don’t remove mascara.
TRUE. Mascara can clog your eyelash follicles, which can lead to breakage.

Myth #8: Your inner wrist is the best place to test makeup.
FALSE. The inner wrist is the lightest skin on your body. Foundation should be tested on your jaw line and match the color of your chest.

Myth #7: Split ends can be reversed.
FALSE.
Once a split end happens, the only way to get rid of it is by getting a haircut. The right products (like pomades and serums) can however make split ends less noticable.


Myth #6:
Your cell phone can make you breakout.
TRUE. Your cell phone is a breading ground for germs that cause pimples. Clean your cell often to zap zits.

Check back next week for the #1 beauty myth! What do you think it's going to be? Share your guess with the Inner Circle!

I hate when girls say make-up makes you look old and they never even wore it before. I have never been told I look old but I just think it's a sign of jealousy =d
