"I need to Tan in the sun to get Vitamin D"
There are safer ways to get vitamin D than lying in the sun, as it can be obtained from a variety of foods. One of
the biggest myths about skin is that sun exposure is the best way
to boost vitamin D levels. In reality, ultraviolet light is a carcinogen, much like cigarette smoke. Think of it
this way: if someone told you that you could get vitamin D from smoking a cigarette, would you start smoking?
Instead of risking harmful mutations in your skin cells, it's best to rely on safer sources for vitamin D.
Instead, enjoy a sunny day by seeking shade, wearing protective clothing, and applying sunscreen. Ask your
doctor about whether a vitamin D supplement is even necessary.
"Never, ever go to bed with your makeup on"
One of the
common myths about skin is that
not removing makeup before bed will always cause severe damage. While cleansing
your skin is important, the reality is that occasionally forgetting to take off
makeup may not be as harmful as many believe. However, regular cleansing helps
maintain healthy skin and prevents clogged pores over time.
Think about it this way: What's the difference
between wearing the makeup on your skin for the eight hours that you're sleeping as
opposed to the 12 hours that you wear it during the day? There's really not much of
a difference, particularly if you sleep on your back. It is possible to get eye
irritation from your pillow rubbing makeup into your eye but that's very
uncommon."
