Did you know the answers to these beauty mysteries?

How much hair fall is too much? Well, most specialists agree that about 50-100 strands per day is normal. 90 % of your hair goes through the growing process while 10% is in the resting phase which means you should expect 10 % hair fall. But different people have different resting and growing phases which means the amount of hair fall could vary. Crash diets, hormonal imbalances, high fevers and even stress can lead to hair fall. Consult a doctor if you feel you're having more hair fall than usual.

Can you cause wrinkles on your skin by rubbing moisturiser on it

Well, not really. The wrinkles on your skin appear because as you age the collagen in your body starts to break down. Collagen is responsible for the elasticity and firmness of your skin. So, there are really no demerits of massaging a moisturiser on your skin.

We wish this was true but unfortunately it is not. Split ends cannot be repaired which is why it's best that you get your hair trimmed regularly. Use the right conditioners, oils, hair masks and protein treatments to ensure that your hair stays in tip-top condition.

Why do nails turn yellow after using nail polishes?

Well, most of us do love our cheap nail polishes because let's be honest that colour was super cute. Many times we take off our nail paint only to realise that there's a soft yellow discolouration of the nails. Repeated use of any nail polish will lead to discolouration and there isn't much that can be done about it. However, your safest bet will be to use a UVA/UVB protected top coat as a base before you apply any colour as this shields the nails from the sun.

Will wearing makeup everyday really damage skin?

This one's not really true. If you use quality products then you don't have anything to worry about. Applying makeup doesn't damage skin, not taking it off does. Not washing your face and scrubbing that makeup off is what causes real damage to your skin. If you're wearing very heavy makeup then your skin might feel dehydrated after a while but that's about it. So you could always opt for a breather in between your makeup sessions.

Do makeup and beauty products really expire?

Aren't we all guilty of using makeup way past its expiration date? Well, it may look alright but that doesn't mean that it's usable. You wouldn't use expired medicines or eat expired food would you? The rule of the thumb is that mascaras should be replaced every 3 months, eyeliners every 6 months to a year and lipsticks every 1 and half years. So keep this in mind the next time you think about using those expired products.

Is it necessary to get a Manicure/Pedicure every 2 weeks?

To be honest this depends entirely on your lifestyle. Some people's nails tend to grow a lot faster than others'. Around 3 weeks is when you can notice a difference. For people who are in fields like PR or Events, you might be required to look well groomed all the time. So you should ideally opt for mani-pedis every 2 weeks. For others who enjoy a leisurely lifestyle, you can go for it once every month. We hope this helped answer your questions.
