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.

News-Worthy Beauty Advice: Anti-Aging Made Easier

Certain I was destined to launch a celebrity career and get along famously with….well, famous people, my 16-year-old brain’s big, big plans were something to be reckoned with. My skin care regiment was pretty much optional at this point. Unsurprisingly, I found creams and lotions meant to preserve my youth to be irrelevant.

 

The job placement tests from the pages of my guidance counselor’s magazine racks blatantly steered me towards “news anchor.” Clearly those results implied that I was going to stay young, camera-ready and intriguing for a significant amount of time. What need did I have for skin care regimen?

In my older age I have learned sincerely relevant concepts that can be blanketed by the phrase “ignorance is not bliss.” Instead of skipping about awkwardly in an oblivious, youthful haze I have, throughout the years, obtained a newfound respect for skin care. I am wiser, but I am in no hurry for years to show on my face. Caring for my face has become a priority, which is why I rely on NeriumAD Age-Defying Treatment to balance uneven skin tone and combat the subtle creases that emerge around my eyes and tend to make my face look older.

I still love to be noticed and I’m not too sure that my adoration for that feeling will ever really fade. Thankfully, gone is the oblivious teenager that didn’t take advantage of opportunities to nourish her skin. In her place, a more illuminated adult that retains her youthful appearance with NeriumAD Age-Defying Treatment.

Exciting Technological Advancements in Beauty and Skin Care

Many exciting technological advancements hit the news every day, and a large number of them are in beauty and skin care. Methods using chemistry, engineering, biology, and other scientific disciplines can give beauty products a technological edge. Take a look at the latest technological advancements in beauty and skin care:

Shade matching

In the world of makeup, the hottest shade right now is the smart shade. Blushes, lip colors, and even foundations now come in a form that matches the right shade for you. The way this works depends on the product, but most will contain a type of chameleon pigment, which goes on white and then adjusts to coordinate with your skin tone. If you have a color matching foundation, you can even find products that will adjust after application to coordinate with your blush and other makeup.

Going electric

Bob Dylan did it—why not skincare? More and more products are hitting the shelves that utilize the power of electricity, like electronic skincare brushes. These brushes use a rotating or pulsating action to cleanse the skin of impurities, priming the skin for cleansing, moisturizing, or whatever skincare routine works for you.

Drawbacks to this type of product can be the bulkiness and the price. A top notch electric skincare brush will be rather pricey, so you need to consider whether this is worth adding to your routine. They can also be difficult to store in your bathroom space or travel with, so be aware of how much prime real estate you have available to avoid overcrowding.

Extraction methods

The sad truth is that many incredible beauty product ingredients are out in nature right now, but we lack any effective way of extracting them from the source. Oftentimes, typical extraction methods cannot procure ingredients from plants and other natural sources without damaging them, taking away what makes that ingredient so special or powerful.

However, the good news is that extraction methods are improving, and a few products are now available that contain hard-to-reach ingredients in quality form. For example, skin cream NeriumAD contains Nerium oleander extract. This ingredient has been used therapeutically for centuries, but has always been held back by damaging extraction methods. NeriumAD’s advanced extraction technique preserves Nerium oleander’s powerful qualities, resulting in the improved appearance of wrinkles and fine lines—an amazing way that science and nature can work together to enhance the benefits found in the natural world.
