3 You only need a sunscreen when it is sunny.
If you think you are not at risk of sun damage during a rainstorm, you are mistaken. Regardless of the season or weather, you should apply a daily solar screen.
"Ultraviolet rays that are the cause of sun damage and skin cancer are always present"said Dr. Shilesh IYER,a dermatologist atNew York Dermatology Group."They are independent of cold or hot weather and are not blocked by clouds. The days covered, only visible rays (but not the UVB rays) of the sun are blocked."
4 Pinch your cheeks for a natural glow.
In the Victorian era, women would grip their cheeks to get a blushing effect. But continually, this can cause broken blood vessels and broken capillaries that will not disappear, warns Dr. Harris.
5 Pop Buttons with a safety pin.
YouYou should not reveal your period of pimples, not to mention a safety pin, declares Dr. Harris.To avoid infections and scars, leave it to a professional as a dermatologist, a facialist or a beautician.

Hairpray's harmful ingredients can dry your skin and make you look older. Not to mention, he leaves a sticky film behind too.
7 Burn the divided ends.
Brazilian hair treatmentcalled "Velaterapia "involves defining a flame with your hair to burn divided ends. But that's not how you should take care of your hair"said Jet rhys, Owner ofJet rhys living room in San Diego.
8 The higher the SPF, the better the protection.
The SPF mainly refers to the ability of sunscreen to block ultraviolet radiation B. Although UVB rays can be the leading cause of skin cancer and non-melanoma sunburn, you also need to consider ultraviolet rays , which causes wrinkles and other signs of aging skin. Only "broad spectrum" solar screens protect from both.
As a result, products with a higher SPF can give you a false sense of security, saysDr.Steven Q. Wanga dermatologist atMemorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Cancer Cancerin New Jersey. "People who use them tend to stay in the sun much longer. They can ignore reapplication. And they may think they do not need to try to tint, wear a hat or cover clothes ",said."They end up having a lot more UVA damage, which, of course, overcome the goal."
9 Anti-aging cutaneous products can eliminate wrinkles.
Do not believe the moisturizers who claim to return the clock. According to Dr. Harris, retinol in most anti-aging anti-aging skin products strengthens collagen production in the skin, which gives it this temporary plunger effect. But the keyword here istemporary.
"Moisturizers can give a transient effect of the reduction of wrinkles by planting the skin "saidDr. Evan A. Rerder, A Dermatology Assistant Professor in Nyu Langone Health. TONCE The product is no longer on the skin, its effects also disappear.
10 A basic tan prevents a sunburn.

The ends of the cutting split definitely make your hair in better health, but it does not affect growth because the follicles of your scalp are what controls how fast and how much your hair grow. If you cut it or not, hthe air grows on averageA quarter of an inch every month.
12 You canEliminate divided ends.
If you are with split ends, you can work to strengthen the strand of hair using a thermal protective spray or applying a deep packaging. But nothing can repair them completely except to eliminate them with aHaircut or cut, of course.
13 PThe repair h can cure eye pockets.
It's easy to be tempted to use objects around the house for beauty hack instead of buying a new product (LU: expensive) to do the job. But often, hardware your problems is not the best approach.
For example, yes, the preparation of Hemorroid H is reduced redness and pockets. But it also includes incredibly dangerous ingredients if they accidentally enter your eyes. TIt is the best way to get rid of the pockets of the eyes consists of sleeping enough and staying hydrated. Lucky for us, these treatments are also free!

That said, do not completely neglect the top of your head. The scalp has large natural oils the rest of your hair must remain healthy and conditioned.
19 Wash your hair every day.
Even if you work and sweaty, the daily use of the shampoo can harm your hair from its natural oils, thwart your scalp and leave you with dry and fragile hair. "Too frequent washing of the scalp with hard cleaners can lead to scalp problems, "said Dominic Burg, A hair biologist.
