Touching our faces -
Touching our faces is just about the worst thing we can do for our skin. We use our hands all day, every day, to touch all sorts of things, and they are always dirty.
Licking our lips -
Try to avoid licking your lips. If they do become chapped, use a lip balm to treat them. Drinking water regularly will also help to keep them moist.
Rubbing our eyes -
Granted it is very difficult not to do this, particularly when we are tired or suffering from allergies. The true is, however, that rubbing our eyes causes inflammation.
Popping pimples -
The reality is that messing around with pimples often makes them worse. If you are desperate to reduce their appearance, try a dab of tree oil.
Using rubber bands -
Tying up your hair with a rubber band is perhaps the worst thing you could do to it. The material will inevitably cause breakages and is very damaging to the hair.
Using heat -
Using heat on your hair is also very bad for it. The heat dries out the hair and can quickly cause split ends or frizz. Try to let your hair dry naturally if you can.
Overwashing our hair -
It is a common misconception that the more often we wash our hair, the cleaner it will be. In fact, washing our hair strips it of its natural oils.
Not washing pillow cases - If left unwashed, pillow cases can accumulate excess oil, dirt, and makeup, which eventually causes breakouts.
Biting our nails -
This is perhaps the most difficult beauty habit to break; it is notoriously difficult to kick. But there are techniques you can use even if it’s the habit of a lifetime.
Distract yourself -
You might try chewing a sugarless gum when the impulse to bite your nails hits, or even finding something to fiddle with, such as a coin or stress ball.
