 Modern cosmetology - an area traditionally wrapped in a mass of myth and legend, over which often laugh professionals, but ordinary mortals take them quite seriously. Meanwhile, many highly popular misconceptions, being embodied in life, may not only be ineffective (the psychological effect is not considered), but further exacerbate this or that problem. "Do not fall into the trap! "- Warn our experts. And especially for you debunk the most common fantasies.
Myth 1: Acne can be cured toothpaste ...
... As well as alcohol, iodine and tetracycline ointment.
According to the Laboratory Tegor, dermatologist Irina Cybulski, this postulate is not true, though, admittedly, partly is groundless. For example, alcohol disinfects the skin and prevents the growth of harmful microorganisms. Tetracycline ointment - a powerful antibiotic - fights bacteria, thereby preventing the development of acne. But this theory. But in practice, we have a slight positive effect, accompanied by a bunch of negative consequences. For example, the notorious toothpaste rather cause skin irritation than remove hateful pimples. Pure alcohol dries the skin, leading to flaking. What to do? Do not trust such stupid statements, and use only specific cosmetic products for problem skin. Believe me, the scientists who develop these tools, you are much better versed in the methods of treatment of acne.
Myth 2. Oily skin can be dehydrated
It is necessary to feel the difference between the skin and dehydrated skin prone to dryness by nature - continues to Irina Tsybulskaya. In the latter case, it is just about the innate characteristics of the epidermis, while dehydration is a cosmetic disease, a failure in the normal operation of the organism. It can be observed regardless of whether you have oily skin or not, and has symptoms such as a feeling of tightness, flaking, dull appearance. Treatment is best to choose with the help of an experienced beautician - only he can assess the scope of "damage" and assign the program salon or home care.
Myth 3. Young girls can not use cosmetics anti-age
Indeed there is a perception that anti-age cosmetics is not suitable for young skin, but there is a subtle point. Namely, young girls are not recommended age cosmetics containing potent components - such as retinoids, liposomes, fruit acids. As for a "light" ingredients (hyaluronic acid, coenzyme Q10, vitamin E, algae) are, in contrast, are excellent assistants in the prevention of premature aging, preventing build up of free radicals and preventing the thinning of the epidermis. The earlier start to use such drugs, the later will appear on the face of age-related changes. So do not be afraid!
Myth 4. Brown spots on the face - this is forever
Perhaps this was true in the days of our grandmothers, but today pigmentation ceased to be an insurmountable obstacle in the way of beauty.
As we told Irina Shchukin, dermatologist Clinic of laser cosmetology Naomi, now there are effective and safe techniques to completely remove dark spots. In particular, this can be done with a laser. The light beam destroys the cells with excess melanin, whereas the healthy skin areas not involved in the treatment process. The complexion is leveled and age spots simply cease to bother you once and for all.
Myth 5. smoothes facial wrinkles around the eyes with a laser, of course, effectively, but safely
I wonder what the laser author had in mind this postulate? If he meant the laser missile installation, then, indeed, we can talk about the dangers and terrible health consequences. But the laser through which removed the wrinkles around the eyes, is absolutely safe.
This is confirmed by numerous studies - laser treatment is one of the best, if not the only technology that can remove facial wrinkles and thus "rejuvenate" the face. One of the advantages - skin regeneration is carried out without contact, and therefore there is not even a minimal risk of infection. "Moreover, - says Irina Shchukin, - thermal effect during the procedure additionally disinfects the skin, it revitalizes and tightens." If you are confused delicate area - and the area around the eyes is one of the most gentle on your face - do not worry: the modern neodymium laser is successfully coping with this task without the side effects and adverse effects.
Myth 6. Cellulite can be cured with the help of exercise and a strict diet compliance
Exercise and proper, healthy diet (note we are not talking about diets) - always useful. But for the complete and final victory over cellulite have to supplement their beauty treatments. The "running" cases, the best option will appeal to a specialized clinic and a solution by means of modern hardware techniques. If the stucco does not give you much discomfort, it is enough to use home remedies that contain caffeine and Karnith that break down fats. Well proven and anti-cellulite wraps, but such treatments pronounced effect should be done regularly.
Myth 7. Laser and photoepilation can not be done in the summer
Can. According to Irina Shchukin, before and after hair removal can not just sunbathing, remain on the active sun, and the season is not critical. So just before the holidays and after epilation do not. But for 2-3 weeks before the trip to the sea - why not?
Myth 8. Men and women can not use the same makeup
Of course, can, despite the fact that most manufacturers make individual lines for women and men. However, the funds earmarked specifically for the stronger sex, take greater account of the needs of men's skin - Softens rough areas from constant shaving, disinfects, while in cosmetics for women focuses on a few other effects. Therefore, if the opportunity is there, it is better to distinguish between make-up by gender. But even if not, do not worry: the mustache of cream of men do not grow.
Myth 9. deep lifting effect can be achieved only plastic surgery
"Nothing of the kind, - says Irina Shchukin. - In plastic surgery there is a great alternative called Neodime. Representing a new generation of laser exposure, which penetrates deep into the dermis, this procedure stimulates the production of collagen and prevents age-related changes. An additional advantage - the intensive production of collagen skin cells continues even six months after neodymium sessions.
For those who need to look your best after two or three hours (at a party or on a date), you can suggest a special rapid-lifting: just one procedure it allows to lift drooping facial tissues, to smooth wrinkles and folds, and give the skin a radiant Colour.
