Beauty Myths Debunked: Part 2
Time to set the record straight! Here are #'s 5-1 of the top 10 beauty myths we’ve all believed for far too long.
Myth #5: The more expensive a product is, the better it will work.
FALSE. Read the ingredients on any product you buy. A lot of times the less expensive products have the same ingredients as their name brand equivalents.
Myth #4: Darker skins don’t need to use sunscreen.
FALSE. While you may be less likely to burn, you are still at risk for exposure to harmful UV rays. Everyone should always wear a minimum of spf 15 sunscreen everyday (Tyra does!).
Myth #3: Cucumbers will help de-puff your eyes.
TRUE & FALSE. The truth is that anything cold (from cucumbers to towels) will de-puff your eyes. Coldness restricts blood vessels which reduces swelling and puffing.
Myth #2: Pumping the mascara wand will help apply mascara better.
FALSE. When you pump the wand in a tube of mascara you create air bubbles which will dry it out, decreases its lasting power and promotes the growth of germs. Instead, slowly twist the brush as you pull out to pick up more of the product.
Myth #1: Never pluck a gray hair, because 10 more will grow in its place.
FALSE. Only one hair can grow out of one root. If you pluck one, only one will grow back BUT it will probably refuse to lie flat. Instead of plucking, color your hair to cover up any gray.

my brother is soo stupid just becuase he aint light he thinks his skin dont need sunscreen well his false lol
If it wasnt for you i would have no eyelashes! GRACIAS!
this is sad and nice at the same time haha ;)
goodbye cucumbers hello cold towel
i never believed that the more expensive it is the better in the first place. Sometimes yes but mostly its just a scam....
I have been doing the opposite, i thought heat helped puffiness, now i am going to use cold instead....see it's never too late to learn new things lol
Dang the one myth I thought was true was the dark skin one! Sun screen from now on! :/
The reason people always says cucumbers is because it is 20 degrees colder inside then its outside. :)
Thanks for the tip!!
surprisingly... i knew about all of these myths and knew that were just that "myths". lol

While your hair is still growing at the same rate you will never notice because the ends are breaking off :) so if you get the ends trimmed every six weeks and keep the dead ends off it won't break off and your hair will noticeably grow and not break off as much!!

To de-puff, I've been told hemorrhoid cream is supposed to work wonders. I have also heard women stating they use it all over their face as part of their beauty regimen!
Thanks Tyra!!! Have to confess, I'm always pumping my mascara, time to stop!
