The Most Commonly Believed Beauty Myths

Many beauty and style habits are built on tradition rather than truth. After hearing some commonly believed myths over and over, I’d like to get the word out. Keep reading to find out how you can bust common beauty myths by using a single razor blade and NeriumAD: 

When shaving, a razor with more blades means a better shave.

Most of the razors available today come with three to five blades. It makes sense to believe that more blades mean a razor will shave more efficiently. Multiple blades help get a shave really close to the skin. However, it’s a common misconception that a close shave is a smooth shave. The close shave you get from multiple razors can cause irritation and bumps, and takes away valuable moisture from shaved skin. 

To get the best shave around, it’s most important that your razor is new. Using one new blade, rather than multiple dull blades, will result in smoother skin. A great shaving routine: soak skin in a warm bath, exfoliate, and apply shaving cream (or, if you’re at a loss, hair conditioner) before using your sharp blade. Exfoliation helps get dead skin cells out of the way, giving your razor better access. 

In order to see a difference with wrinkles, you have to book an appointment. 

I hear complaints all the time about how men and women alike take issue with their wrinkles and fine lines, but don’t want to keep up regular appointments with a doctor. It’s true that once you start seeing a doctor for anti-wrinkle procedures, you will likely have to keep up a regular routine of visiting the office. 

However, it is not true that you have to see a dermatologist or plastic surgeon in order to see results. You have to try something different in order to see results. If you look at the ingredients of common drugstore and other anti-wrinkle products, you’ll see much of the same. The ingredient you should be looking for? NAE-8 extract from the Nerium oleander plant.  The plant has been used in herbal medicine since ancient times, but has only recently been utilized in a modern product thanks to an advanced extraction technique.  The only product to improve the appearance of wrinkles using Nerium oleander is NeriumAD, a one-of-a-kind cream that can help reduce the look of wrinkles and fine lines. It’s just a simple step to add to your beauty routine—no appointments or drastic procedures necessary. 

These are just a few of the many beauty misconceptions out there. Stay tuned for another installment of commonly believed beauty myths.

Prepare a Solid Foundation with NeriumAD

For most makeup routines, the bulk of your time is spent perfecting the canvas. Before you can even play with eye shadow, blush, and lip colors, you’ve got to get your skin an even color that matches your tone, and then you can start considering tasks like contouring. A major mistake many women make here is thinking that preparing the palette starts with their makeup routine rather than their skincare routine, though the lines between the two can blur. Use of my current “Wow!” product, NeriumAD, has sped up my skin care routine.

An easy way to cut down on your makeup routine is to adapt good skincare habits that cut down on the need for makeup. Instead of spending time applying heavy layers of primers, BB and CC creams, concealer, foundation, and other products, focus on improving your skin’s appearance before you even get there. While all skin is unique and will require different approaches to achieving this, focus on the issues that keep you in the makeup chair for longer. Do you have dark circles that require heaps of brightening under eye makeup? Look into a soothing nighttime eye mask that will keep inflammation at bay. Find yourself agonizing over the art of covering blemish scars? Look for a product that reduces the appearance of mature acne scars. 

And my personal fight—trying product after product to cover up my wrinkles without success. The key wasn’t covering my wrinkles but finding a way to improve their appearance. I know what you’re thinking: an anti-wrinkle product that works, that’s the Holy Grail of skin care! Well, I found it with NeriumAD, which contains a powerful, patented extract from the Nerium oleander plant, a best-kept secret of traditional medicine for centuries. This ingredient has taken both the beauty and scientific world by storm with its therapeutic properties. 

NeriumAD uses powerful extraction technology to harness this natural extract to help improve the appearance of my fine lines and wrinkles. It’s my easy one-step solution to my uneven palette, meaning I don’t have to spend as long covering up my skin. I love being able to show off a more natural look without worrying about my foundation looking caked on or smudging onto my husband’s white dress shirt. In fact, most casual days (and most days are casual days), I celebrate a “No Foundation Day” wearing just tinted moisturizer and concealer for a natural yet put together look.
