"  1.Chocolate is bad for your skin As someone who has acne prone skin, I will be the first to tell you that chocolate does not cause acne. There is absolutely no scientific evidence showing that chocolate breaks you out. Truth is dark chocolate or Cocoa can actually be beneficial for your skin. It contains more antioxidants than green tea and has a high amount of sulfur, which is essential for gorgeous hair, skin, and nails. If you buy chocolate, make sure it contains 90 percent cacao.  2. Toothpaste or Vaporub will stop a zit As a teenager suffering from severe cystic acne, my sweet mother would always tell me &amp;quot;hechate Crest en esos zits.&amp;quot; I would apply either toothpaste or Vaporub every night to my acne-filled face. In the morning, my sheets would smell minty fresh, but my Zit was still big as ever. Also, because my complexion is brown, I started to notice after applying the toothpaste I was left with a brown mark in the morning. Don&amp;#039;t do it! It doesn&amp;#039;t work, and every dermatologist on earth will tell you that! PS: a tip to get the redness out of a zit quick is to use Visine redness-reducing drops. 3. All oils give you acne False. One of the most effective products for acne-prone skin is Tea Tree Oil, which contains anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. I also swear by Jojoba Oil which leaves my skin glowing (and is very similar to human sebum). 4. Using cocoa butter prevents stretch marks One of my girlfriends recently called me upset because she applied cocoa butter to her skin every single day while pregnant and she still had a lot of stretchmarks. Let&amp;#039;s end this myth. One study showed that using cocoa butter made absolutely no difference with the development of stretchmarks at all. I personally swear by Vitamin E creams and am proud to say that although I&amp;#039;ve been pregnant, I have no stretchmarks. Woohoo! 5. Trimming your hair will make it grow faster Ladies, your hair grows from your scalp, not from your ends. Trimming your hair will not make it grow faster!! Hair growth has a lot to do with genetics, nutrients (deficiencies in Protein, B vitamins and Zinc will stop growth in a heartbeat),and stress will stop it from growing too. The only thing frequent trimmings will do is get rid of any split ends and put money in your hairstylist&amp;#039;s pocket. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
