Here’s how to say goodbye to old vices
We all have our own quirks and bad habits, but the problem with beauty-related vices is they can affect your appearance, and sometimes your confidence as a result. Look your best by saying goodbye to bad habits and welcoming some new routines. You have nothing to lose and only beautiful things to gain.
1
Bad habit: Not trying new makeup
Good habit: A good place to start experimenting is a brighter lipstick shade. After all, you can always wash it off.
2
Bad habit: Not moisturising your body because the weather’s too hot.
Good habit: Switch to a feather-light hydrating lotion that won’t make your skin feel as sticky.
3
Bad habit: Sleeping on your stomach
Good habit: Switch to sleeping on your side. Sleeping on your stomach creates pressure and deepens wrinkles, according to Radical Beauty, How To Transform Yourself From The Inside Out by Deepak Chopra and Kimberly Snyder. A silk pillow slip will help keep skin looking smoother by morning and extend your blow-dry, too.
4
Bad habit: Too lazy to take off your makeup
Good habit: Keep your cleanser in the shower and cleanse twice, especially on days where you’ve applied water-resistant sunscreen. Or try micellar water, which cleans thoroughly with just a makeup removing pad – no water necessary!
5
Bad habit: Brushing your wet hair
Good habit: Young or old, hair is more fragile when it’s wet and a normal hairbrush will create frizz and breakage. Use a comb or brush designed to be used on wet or dry locks.
Try: Tangle Teezer
6
Bad habit: Not reapplying sunscreen
Good habit: It’s simply the best anti-ageing advice we can give you, so adopt the habit of topping up throughout the day (yes, even in winter) or set an alarm on your smartphone as a reminder. One shot glass is needed to cover your body.
