Three skincare tips that are a lie!

Skin is the most important part of your body and if you are not taking care of it, it’s high time you should! 

Here are three types which you should stop believing!

Sleeping will drive off Dark circles

  

Yes, inadequate sleep is hugely responsible for the dark circles under your eyes but there are various other reasons too. Low haemoglobin, allergy to cosmetics or creams, dust allergies resulting in the constant rubbing of eyes, asthma, hay fever, genes and certain medication can also cause dark circles in spite of you having your eight hours of beauty sleep every day. So try to find out the cause and get it treated accordingly. Your dark circles will certainly reduce.

All-natural products are better for the skin

Natural is the ‘in’ thing. The question is: are the products really natural? Can you keep fresh orange juice in the refrigerator for over a week? It will decay, won’t it? In order to keep natural things well preserved, preservatives are required. And preservatives are chemicals too. Quite often natural ingredients can cause irritation and allergies.

Firstly, the plants and trees whose leaves, barks or fruits are used should not be chemically treated or infused with pesticides. The soil in which they are grown should be organic too. Thirdly, the extracts must be pure. Then, the preservatives must also be natural. So always check the authenticity of the products and the manufacturer and do not forget to check the ingredients.

Skincare is a girl thing

Skin is something that men possess too. They can also have eczemas, rashes, pimples, wrinkles, blemishes. So why should skincare be a girl thing?

They love to talk about fitness, protein and other supplements. But if you have a good body and a dull face, would they complement each other? Yes, men have slightly thicker skin, more sebaceous glands, more collagen. So they need different products.
