The more you scrub, the cleaner your skin will be
According to Jaishree Sharad, the notion is false. Scrubbing too much can damage your protective skin barrier layer making the skin prone to allergies, eczemas, infection, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Sunscreen should be applied on cloudy days
Yes, it is true. 70 percent of the UVA rays penetrate through the clouds. So it is very important to apply a generous amount of sunscreen on cloudy days.
A healthy lifestyle can delay the signs of aging skin
You need no expert opinion to understand that a healthy, nutritious diet is the key to delaying ageing signs. Skincare is holistic. Healthy eating, sleeping on time, exercise, no smoking, no alcohol, and a simple skincare routine are what one needs for radiant skin.
Stress can cause acne and hair fall
Yes, stress will increase the cortisol hormones in your body leading to hair fall.
It's safe to apply lemon to remove dark spots
Jaishree Sharad does not recommend this DIY beauty trick. Lemon can irritate the skin and cause pigmentation or even scarring.
