Bad beauty habits to bin once and for all

There are some bad beauty habits we just can’t seem to ban, common culprits being nail-biting and forgetting to take make-up off at night. This year make a point of ditching some of your beauty no-no’s for good.

 

Failing to wear adequate sun protection has got to be one of the biggest beauty faux pas there is, not to mention a health risk. All the body including the face and lips needs to be protected using a high factor sunscreen. By investing in a moisturizer or foundation that contains SPF you’ll be protected even if you forget once in a while to slap on the sun lotion.

 

One of the more common beauty failings is to not drink enough water. Water keeps skin healthy and moisturized, and it’s good for overall well-being too. Invest in a large sized drinking vessel, so you don’t need to top it up so frequently and use a straw to make it easier to sip.

 

Not taking off all your make-up can clog pores and lead to breakouts, so it’s essential to nip this one in the bud. Keep make-up cleansing wipes in your bag so if you’re heading back late and are half asleep you can take your make-up off in the cab on the way home.

 

Another bad habit to fix is to stop touching your face. Every time you do, you transfer dirt and bacteria, which can quickly lead to blemishes. A good tip is to carry a hand sanitizer around with you wherever you go to protect you should you forget.

To stop yourself biting those nails, give yourself a beautiful manicure – try using Gratiae’s Beautifying Nail Kit – when nails look that good, how could you ruin them?

Make a point of throwing out these bad habits, and you can look forward to a more beautiful future.
