There are so many beauty tips, tricks and hacks out there available
to us, but there are also many ways to go wrong with makeup. Sometimes,
it’s not easy to keep record of all the beauty rules, and this can lead
us to committing some serious beauty sins. To avoid these unpleasant
troubles, read these ten beauty sins that we all should stop committing.
1. Not having a proper beauty regimen
At the very least, remove your makeup before going to sleep,
exfoliate your face a couple of times a week and regularly moisturise,
no matter how fresh and perfectly moisturised your skin already looks.
You’d want to keep it this way for as long as possible, wouldn’t you?
Exfoliation is usually done in the shower, so it wouldn’t take you extra
time, and moustirising only takes about a minute, so you really have no
excuse to skip it.
2. Neglecting sunblock
We’ve said it already and we’ll say it again: the sun is the
culprit number one, when it comes to wrinkles. Solar radiation drains
the moisture out of your skin and boosts the appearance of fine line,
age spots and wrinkles. And that’s actually the least of the problems
that the sun can cause. So, don’t forget that sunblock is not just for
the summer; winter sun can be equally harmful for the skin.
3. Overdoing it with the tan
Speaking of the sun, some of us are still obsessed with getting a
great tan for the beach season, and some people tend to abuse the sun,
or the fake tan. Tan carefully but don’t cause yourself burns, okay?
Also try to avoid prolonged sunbathing, it’s been proven to be unhealthy
for you.
4. Skipping exercise
Whatever time you spend on skincare, don’t neglect physical
exercise neither. It doesn’t just keep your weight under control, it
benefits your entire body, skin included. Exercising, which could be
just fast walking on a daily basis for at least half an hour, improves
your blood circulation, and good circulation is essential for healthy
and beautiful looking skin.
5. Ignoring makeup expiration dates
Of course, you can’t peer at the expiration date of your lipstick
every time you apply it, but if you feel that it’s been around for a
while, check it. That goes double for stuff you put on your eyes,
especially mascara. If you like, stick a note on the mascara with the
date on which you bought it, and six months later throw it away,
finished or not. Mascara is among the products that can become breeding
grounds for bacteria, and you really don’t want such bugs near your
eyes.
6. Not removing your makeup at night
We’re only humans and our energy is sometimes limited, so, of
course, we can get absolutely exhausted after a long day, but this,
however, is not an excuse for going to bed without removing your makeup.
Just like you wouldn’t go to bed without brushing your teeth (you
wouldn’t right?), you shouldn’t go to sleep without properly removing
your makeup.
7. Once you you pop, you can’t stop, but you should!
Every dermatologist warns against it, yet we continue to deal with
sudden zits the radical way: we pop them and hope they will heal
quickly. Sometimes they do, but often they don’t. Try to resist the
temptation, and instead of this harsh intervention, or before it, at
least, try some natural remedies like lemon (which can help efficiently
dry out the zit), or camomile, which fights the bacterial infection that
actually causes pimples.
8. Treating your skin harshly
Your skin does not like rough treatment. This means, along with not
popping zits, not wiping your skin too harshly after a shower, and not
pulling, pushing or forcefully stretching it. This not only includes the
time when you rub in your moisturiser, but it also includes wearing
comfortable clothes that fit you well, starting from your underwear and
ending with overcoats.
9. Overdoing it with shaving
Some ladies find it necessary to shave strategic areas on their
bodies every single day. Fast and effective as shaving is, doing it
daily doesn’t do any favours to your skin. Because of constant
scratching, the skin in the frequently shaved areas – and these are
usually sensitive areas – will start becoming rough and chronically
irritated. So, if you can’t bear the thought of seeing even a short
little hair, consider waxing instead of shaving.
10. Using hot water
Hot water has a serious drying effect on your skin. This is the
reason why you feel so itchy after a hot shower, before you slather the
moisturiser on, in case you were wondering. Wash your face and shower
with warm water only. Consider cool showers as well, they can be
particularly refreshing in the warm months. Cool water combined with
gentle exfoliation will not only make your skin feel wonderful, but it
will also energise and refresh you.
