It’s time for the answers to last week’s Beauty Science Poll. Looks like this one was a little harder since most of you did not guess the right answer. Keep reading to find out if you guessed correctly. 
Botox is not only good for removing wrinkles but it can also prevent hair loss.
True
About 22% of you guessed this was false but Cosmeticsdesign reports that one aesethetic surgeon claims to have data showing that Botox is a solution for baldness. Theoretically two to three injections a year can reduce scalp tension through increased blood circulation, which helps to improve the level of nutrients in the tissue surrounding the hair follicles, reactivating hair growth.
You can fight Swine Flu with a soap-sniffing “breathalizer” device that tells if people really washed their hands.
True
Although 33% said this was fake, ScienceDaily says that University of Florida is using this technology to monitor health-care workers’ hand hygiene by detecting sanitizer or soap fumes given off from their hands.
An aquarium worker was arrested after feeding whitening toothpaste to fish so “they would look better for tourist pictures.”
False
29% of you correctly guessed this was the made up headline. But it was based on a different story that IS true. BBC news reported that a journalist was arrested and charged with this same crime after dumping dandruff shampoo into a tank of fish on live TV to demonstrate how toxic the chemicals are. Of course as we all know, the dose makes the poison so dumping an entire bottle in a small tank isn’t a realistic test.
Adding a cup of coffee to your skin care routine could protect you from sun damage.
True
15% of you were fooled but Cosmeticsdesign says that researchers have discovered that caffeine could help control how the body sheds damaged cells, which could help mitigate the effect of UV damage. Does this mean we’ll see Starbucks brand sunscreen in the near future?
How did YOU do in this week’s poll? Did you guess the right answer for the right reason? Or were you just lucky?
