Top Ten Beauty Myths


# Neglecting neck: As part of your daily skin care routine, do you cleanse and moisturize your neck? Thought not. Don't stop at your chin, make sure you carry on and take care of the thin, delicate skin on your neck. This area can be prone to sensitivity so it is really important to look after it.

# Over-treating and over-covering spots: It's too easy to apply every spot cream you have to your face as soon as you have a breakout, but don't. They work on your skin for hours so make sure you always follow the pack instructions to the letter. Likewise, don't cake them in make-up. Your skin needs time to breath.

# Applying foundation before moisturizer is dry: Moisturizer needs time to dry so give it a minute before you start applying your foundation. The creaminess of moisturizer can cause makeup to thin out, so if you apply too quickly you'll get a streaky look.

# Plucking eyebrows too close to the mirror: If you pluck too close to the mirror you find yourself looking at every hair rather than looking at the overall shape of your eyebrows. This can leave you with thin, uneven brows. Instead use a large mirror and take a couple of steps back so you can see your whole face, not just your eyebrows.

# Yellow nails: If you love nail art and never leave the house without a new design or color on your talons, then you could be prone to yellow nails. Constant decoration can change the natural color of the nails. The answer? Always apply a base coat and this will help prevent the stains.
