5 Beauty Habit Don'ts

We all have those horrible beauty no-no's we do! The sooner you stop it, the more beautiful and fresh you will look! I'll just list 5 of the major don'ts. (These are not in order of importance)

1. BITING YOUR NAILS.
          First of all it's just gross. Throughout the day we constantly touch things like germs and bacteria. They live on everything, our mascara, our bedding, public bathrooms, and even other people. There are things you can do to help with the bacteria such as using hand sanitizer or opening public doors with a napkin. Unfortunately, you can never really kill 100% of germs. So just imagine. When you go to bite your nails, everything you have just touched has now been transfered to your mouth. GROSS! Not only this but biting your nails weakens your nails. Eventually they will chip because all that time they are in your mouth, they are actually getting softer. You can bend, and therefore, break your nails. Broken nails = ugly manicure. Now we don't want that, do we?

2. NOT WASHING YOUR FACE BEFORE BED.
          I know, I know. We have ALL done it at some point. Some of you may even be reading this at 12 am and just realized that you need to wash your face! So why wash our face? Well it gets it squeaky clean and soft as a baby's bottom! :) Plus, if you don't wash your face, eventually you will get acne. Sometimes you can even get a breakout the next day! Girls especially need to wash their face at night. We wear makeup like foundation. The foundation is in our pores and has oils and all that bad stuff. If you don't wash your face, the makeup stays there and will cause acne. Washing your face also rids of any dead skin leaving your face sooo soft!

3. NOT WEARING SUNSCREEN.
          A lot of you may be thinking "But wait! It's not summer anymore!" It doesn't matter though! No matter what the season or how hot it is your are always subject to skin damage. The UV rays can hit your skin no matter how cloudy it is. Later in life this can cause skin cancer! So make sure you always wear a sunscreen under your makeup or us a makeup with spf included within it.

4. HEAT PROTECTING HAIR.
          Many girls straighten their hair every morning and I guarantee a majority of these girls do no use heat protectant. So why use heat protectant? Applying direct heat will cause split ends and dry, lifeless hair in the long run. Using heat protectant will keep hair soft and gorgeous!

5. BITING/LICKING YOUR LIPS.
          I know the feeling. Your lips feel dry and chapped and you just HAVE to lick them. Or when your lips have dry spot you bite at it. Actually, licking your lips and biting them will produce the opposite effect. Saliva actually dries them out so unless you want dry lips use chapstick instead of your tongue.
