Therefore, we invite you to discover what the most common myths are, and you learn to implement the best for your skin. You join?
1) There are creams that erase wrinkles
False. The creams do not erase wrinkles in the strict sense of the word. Depending on its active ingredients have different functions: moisturizing, photoresist, antirrojeces, scrubs, preventive ... No cream is able to reaffirm or to remove a wrinkle, as much we can improve skin texture and reduce wrinkles very superficial. However, established and deep wrinkles alone, it is necessary to add other treatments such as injections of hyaluronic acid or botulinum toxin, although treatments are always used with an adjuvant such creams. However, keep in mind that sunscreen is essential in any anti-aging treatment.
2) The chocolate causes acne
Nuanced. It has been written and said a lot about whether foods influence the clinical course of acne. Although no conclusive studies, it seems that in certain patients foods with high fat or preservatives and dyes can worsen acne. However, it is not enough to prohibit or restrict its consumption, only in patients who have shown an open worsening. It is therefore not necessary to remove any food diet, but a balanced and healthy Mediterranean diet is recommended, since diets based on "fast food" themselves have been linked to increased risk of acne.
3) The tanning is harmful
Nuanced. Tanning is not harmful provided it is done in a rational manner, using adequate sun protection. There are people whose skin type (genetic skin color) is more tanned than others. The types I and II (redheads and blondes) should be more cautious and proper sun protection. In general, a recommendation for the entire population, use photoresist in exposed skin, sunglasses, hat and avoid the sun in the middle of the day (between 12:00 and 15:00). Also, avoid the use of cosmetic tanning booths, and that have been associated with an increased risk of melanoma.
4) face should be washed with soap bacterial
False. No need to wash your face with bacterial soap. Depending on the skin or the patient suffering from dermatosis are most suitable products both for cleansing, moisturizing, protection and general care, so when in doubt, it is best to consult with our dermatologist to advise us what is the most appropriate in each case. In patients (especially children) with atopic skin, you should use non-detergent soaps not remove the protective layer of the skin and in patients with oily skin, something astringent soaps.
5) We desmaquillarnos lashes with Vaseline
False. Vaseline is a good solvent, however lacks good organoleptic properties; It is very viscous and sticky and their application is difficult and annoying. There are more suitable for this function products; from those specific tissues or as creams, until micellar water or the like.
6) The sun cure acne
False. The sun has an anti-inflammatory function that temporarily reduces inflammatory acne lesions (papules and pustules), but this has two problems. The first is that there may be a "bounce" (sudden outbreak of lesions when you stop sunbathing) and the other remaining spots in areas where lesions were displayed.
In general, acne is an inflammatory process that usually improves in the summer. This does not mean that "the sun" cure acne, but a set of internal and environmental factors that improve the process in most patients. However, there are some patients that clearly worsen your acne at this time. It is called Acne aestivalis. We must also keep in mind that most topical treatments and oral acne can cause sun sensitivity, so it is vital to consult a specialist to bring such treatments.
7) The higher the SPF is better
Nuanced. The factor most suitable protection for each person will depend on the geographic area in which we are, of phototype (skin color), personal history (if you have had skin tumors or sun damage) and lifestyle (work in the sun, leisure activities). Keep in mind that sunscreen should be used daily in areas like the face and in our geographical area must be equal to or greater than 30 for the general population. Also, keep in mind that not only must assess the UVB protection factor is also important to have filter for UVA.
There are special cases for children with physical filters without chemicals, for people with sun allergy and even oral sunscreens. Besides the skin type and the fact that the patient has some dermatoses can also determine the type of protection you choose, because if it is oily skin will choose a ultrafluido oilfree or gel or emulsion, while dry skin choose creams. Sunscreen should be applied at least 20-30 minutes before exposure and should be repeated every 2-4 hours and after swimming or sweating important (even those that claim to be waterproof). Currently it is considered that the maximum protection is achieved with SPF50 + sunscreen.
