We all have different habits when it comes to personal hygiene, so hearing what other people do or what magazines prescribe can make us wonder if we're doing things correctly.

Learn the truth about these 5 common skincare myths and let your inner beauty shine:

You need to shower every day

While there are a variety of reasons why someone would choose to shower every day, such as personal choice, help in getting up in the morning, or a regular gym routine, showering every day has no health benefits.

Showering too frequently might be harmful to your skin. A layer of natural oils and helpful bacteria protects the skin from dryness and germs in normal, healthy skin.

Over washing your body with soap and water, especially when it's hot, can remove this layer, leaving your skin dry, itchy, irritated, or cracked, and putting you at risk of infection or allergic reaction.

Your hair should be washed daily

When it comes to shampooing, there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all strategy, just as there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all method when it comes to showering.

How often you should wash your hair is determined by several factors, including hair type, activity level, and scalp oiliness.

For example, those with fine, thin hair should shampoo daily because their hair tends to turn oily and greasy more quickly.

Those with thick, curly hair, on the other hand, may choose to wash their hair less frequently because natural oils take longer to coat the strands.

Stress cause acne and eczema

Skin diseases such as acne and eczema are not caused by stress; nonetheless, stress can promote acne and eczema outbreaks.

Oil glands on your face may go into overdrive when you're anxious. This can lead to more clogged pores and, as a result, acne.

Similarly, the release of stress hormones in your body can cause eczema by increasing inflammation.

Cotton swabs are a safe way to clean out earwax

While many people clean their ears with cotton swabs, the truth is that it is not safe.

Using a cotton swab or Q-tip to remove earwax can push it deeper into your ear canal, creating obstruction and irritation, as well as trap bacteria in the ear, which can lead to infection.

Inserting objects into the ear, such as a cotton swab, can cause ear damage or injury, such as a ruptured eardrum.

Though earwax might be irritating, painful, or itchy, it also protects the ear from hazardous elements such as dirt and bacteria by preventing it from being too dry.

The 5-second-rule

Have you ever witnessed someone dropping a piece of food, picking it up immediately, using the "5-second rule," and then eating it?

The '5-second rule,' on the other hand, is a complete myth! Bacteria do not take 5 seconds to hop onto fallen food; they do so instantly.

Furthermore, the chances of your floor being bacteria-free are limited.

To avoid being sick, it's best to take a little bit of caution and throw any fallen food away, or at least, wash it thoroughly before eating it.

Skincare is a tricky business. Common skincare mistakes can aggravate such problems as suntan, sunburn, dark patches, blackheads, pimples, acne, rash, dryness, or skin sensitivity. Skincare should be according to skin type and the seasons.

Here are a few mistakes you might have been making when it comes to skincare which is preventing you from getting that smooth and glossy skin you want.

Not wearing sunscreen daily:

The sun is your skin’s biggest enemy; it speeds up the aging process by contributing to fine lines and wrinkles, loss of elasticity, dark spots, and even skin cancer.

That’s why applying sunscreen is an essential step in your skincare routine – regardless of your age – to prevent sun damage and keep your skin healthy and radiant for as long as possible.

Pimple popping:

Squeezing pimples and blackheads can allow dirt and bacteria to get into the skin and make matters even worse.

Besides increasing the odds of infection, popping your pimples can lead to permanent scarring. Scarring becomes an issue to deal with.

And scarring isn't something that goes away overnight.

Over exfoliating:

While exfoliation is a great way to remove the build-up of dead skin cells for smoother, brighter skin, over-exfoliation can be super damaging to the skin’s natural moisture barrier.

Avoid exfoliating scrubs with harsh particles that can tear and damage the skin.

Using too many products:

It’s important to understand how much of each skincare product you should use to get the most benefit without wasting it or irritating your skin unnecessarily.

Your skin could be oily and quite sticky because your skincare is just sitting on the surface, but overloading your skin can also result in dryness, irritation, and redness.

Just a handful of products and ingredients will do for most people with 'normal' to combination skin.

Touching your face too often:

Most people touch their face countless times per day; it’s a natural habit and also a common skincare mistake to avoid.

The hands carry germs and bacteria, conveying them to facial skin and leading to eruptive skin problems.

If there is acne, it can get aggravated if you keep touching your face.

Women have very unique health issues as compared to men. It is vital that every woman has access to knowledge about the women’s health conditions, not only about her reproductive system but related about all aspects of her body.

It’s important to consider that poor health affects not only women but also has repercussions for their infants and other family members.

So here are some common health issue faced by women and needs to be taken care of:

Maternal health issues

From iron-deficiency anemia to high blood pressure, the changes a woman experiences during pregnancy can impact a woman’s health.

Pregnancy can cause a healthy mother’s red blood cell count to drop, a condition called anemia, or induce depression.

Other problems like abortion infections, STDs, post-partum infections, pelvic inflammatory diseases, etc. are also faced by many women.

Lifestyle problems such as smoking, alcohol, consuming processed food, physical and emotional stress can also play a significant role in infertility.

Thyroid problems

Thyroid disease is twice as prevalent in women as in men and is common among women of child-bearing age.

Women generally have hypothyroidism (low thyroid hormone levels), in which the metabolism slows down. Symptoms include weight gain, feeling sluggish and tired, etc.

On the other side, high thyroid levels can also cause early onset of menopause, before 40 years or in the early 40s.

Urinary tract infections

Urinary tract infections is particularly common in women, as they have a shorter urethra than a man does.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) occur when germs get into the urethra and start to multiply.

Symptoms of a UTI include frequent urination, pain or burning when urinating, and cloudy urine.

Gynecological Health

Bleeding and discharge are a normal part of the menstrual cycle.

However, added symptoms during menstruation may indicate health issues, and unusual symptoms, such as bleeding between menstruations and frequent urinating, can mimic other health conditions.

Vaginal issues could also indicate serious problems such as sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) or reproductive tract cancer.

While care providers might treat mild infections easily, if left unchecked, they can lead to conditions such as infertility or kidney failure.

Depression and Anxiety

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) occurs commonly among women, while premenstrual dysmorphic disorder (PMDD) presents similar, but greatly intensified, symptoms.

Shortly after birth, many mothers acquire a form of depression called the “baby blues,” but perinatal depression causes similar which include symptoms like concerns, emotional shifts, sadness, and tiredness.
