Before you dig into your medicine cabinet, find out which of these six common beauty beliefs are legit. Alexis Farah from Women's Health Magazine is here seperate fact from fiction?

Cucumbers contain vitamins that reduce under-eye circles. (MYTH)
• Putting cucumbers on your eyes can fade dark circles, but only when they happen to be cold.
• That's because it's the cold-not the cucumber-that reduces puffiness.
• The cold works by constricting blood vessels to reduce fluid buildup in the soft tissues beneath your eyes.
• You can just as easily use a cool washcloth on your eyes for a few minutes and save your cucumbers for a Greek salad.

Shampoo can make a great body wash. (FACT)
• Shampoo has the same dirt-trapping agents as your favorite body wash.
• That means shampoo can make a great stand-in when your body wash bottle goes empty.
• Plus, shampoo contains conditioners that can make your skin softer than a baby's bottom.
