Beauty Alert: 10 beauty habits that you have to stop today...
Hello girls,
Here are ten beauty mistakes that I am sure you are doing at the moment and you need to stop them immediately.
1) Makeup remover wipes:
Many of you rely on makeup remover wipes to remove makeup and dirt at the end of the day. Well, here is the bad news, they do not remove makeup and dirt sufficiently. In addition, the constant friction between the wipes and your face will cause open pores and irritation. Keep those wipes on exceptional days when you are too tired to get up and wash your face.
The best way to remove makeup is using a facial cleanser and a makeup remover lotion.
2) Sharing makeup brushes:
Many of you will share blush and bronzer brushes with their friends, mother and sisters. Stop doing that and get your own set. Sharing makeup brushes is as bad as sharing tooth brushes. It is not hygienic and can cause cross-infection.
3) Skiping on sunscreen:
Many girls apply sunscreen only in the summer and some do not even apply it at all. Apply sunscreen every single morning even if you are at home. There are very good brands that will not clog pores and will not leave a white residue behind. If you do not feel like it, then opt for morning creams with SPF 20 minimum.
4) Not sanitising your contact lenses:
Wearing contact lenses without cleaning them properly or even worse sleeping with them can cause long-term damage to your eyes. Not to mention, the extreme pain and redness that you will suffer from.
Take them off at the end of each day, do not use them past their expiration dates and make sure to get a new pair with the first signs of itching. This is crucial.
5) Not washing your makeup purses:
Well, look at your makeup purse now. Look at how dirty its interior is. This is a harbour of bacteria that will be transferred on your face.
Throw it in the washing machine every two weeks.
6) Not cleaning our makeup containers:
Our makeup containers are always dirty. This is also another harbour of bacteria. Make sure that you wipe your containers also every two weeks with Dettol wipes to keep infections at bay.
7) Not washing your hair brushes and combs:
Tell me when was the last time you washed your hair brushes? Never? Ok, start doing it today.
Combing your hair with dirty brushes keep your hair dull, unhygienic and smelly.
Get a bowl of warm water, add a few drops of shampoo and give your brushes a nice soak for thirty minutes. Rinse it off properly, remove all hair inside and let it air dry. Repeat every two weeks.
8) Washing your face with shampoo in the shower:
Many of us wash our faces with the shampoo when we are showering. Shampoo is extremely harsh on the delicate skin of our faces. Make sure you take your favourite facial cleanser and clean your face properly at the end of your shower to remove any shampoo residue.
9) Not applying eye cream religiously:
Many girls forget applying their eye cream as part of their skincare routine. This is the most important part of the skin routine as this is where the first signs of ageing show. If you do not start early, chances are you will regret it in your 50's.
10) Using your highlighter as a concealer:
A highlighter is not a concealer. A concealer is not a highlighter. Do not apply highlighter under your eyes. As the name implies, it will highlight your dark circles. Unless the product says highlighter/concealer on the same bottle you can use it under your eyes. Do not apply anything under your eyes that does not specify that it is a concealer. These are the two best liquid highlighters on the market.
