1. Shaving makes hair grow back thicker: This is actually un-true. What you see is actually an optical illusion of blunt hair growing from the hair shaft.
2. Sleeping in my makeup isn't bad: All makeup, no matter how natural, can clog your pores if left on during sleep. Never forget to take off your makeup before hitting the sack.
3. Only expensive products work: Although I prefer higher end products, not all of them deliver results. Look for products that have been time tested. You can find effective products without breaking the bank.
4. I can get a base tan at the salon and prevent burning at the beach: Any visible color on the skin is actually a sign of damaged skin. Avoid tanning and always protect with sunscreen. Use fake bake instead of tanning and you will thank me in twenty years!
5. My skin will age according to my genetics: Your skin may or may not age according to your genetics. There are multiple factors that contribute to the aging of skin. Smoking, sun-bathing, and overall lifestyle can make a huge difference on how your skin ages. Ultimately, your lifestyle choices are a huge contributer to how your skin will age.
