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.
