Beauty and Fashion Dubai

The beauty industry is booming; and consumers are never far away from a magazine article or advert on television purporting to know all the secrets of looking and feeling your best.

But what beauty products and nutrition supplements really do work, and which words of wisdoms should we incorporate into our beauty regime?

The whole area of beautifying is a quagmire with literally thousands of columns inches given over to beauty advice each month. But not all are true. Below are some wives’ tales that should definitely be ignored!

1. You know your skin is clean when it squeaks
   This beauty myth should be banished to the recycled bin immediately. In fact if your face feels tight or uncomfortable in any way you’re either using the wrong beauty product for your skin type, or you are using too much.
2. If you leave your hair for long enough it will begin to clean itself
   This is not only wrong, but also vaguely unhygienic. Hair should be washed and conditioned daily for it to look its best. And if you leave it for more than three to four days, the scalp can become itchy and flaky with your hair appearing dull and lank.
3. Shaving makes hair grow back thicker
   We would all rather go to a beautician to have our legs waxed but just every now again, we might run out of time and need to turn to the razor. But it’s not such bad news. Shaving has absolutely no effect on hair growth or thickness.
4. Use steam to open pores
   The pores on our faces do not have muscles or hinges so no amount of steam or cold water will open and close them. But what steam does do is help to loosen the dirt inside.
5. Pluck a grey hair and seven more will appear
   We have probably all heard this unlikely myth about going grey but the good news is that it is physically impossible to increase the number of follicles you have on your head as a result of plucking out a hair. If you are worried about grey hair choose a reputable hair colouring product and make sure you take a look at our nutrition supplements for beautiful hair.
