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.

Stay beautiful!
