10 Habits That Affect Your Looks
Have a look in the mirror. Does what you see in it make you completely happy or is there something you would like to improve?
We tend to blame our age or even
lighting and ignore the fact that most often what might affect our looks
are our bad habits. Check out the most common things people do that
make them less attractive.
1. Leaving Your Makeup On
Do you sometimes go to bed with your makeup on? Then no wonder what you see in the mirror next morning disappoints you. Clean your skin to avoid clogged pores and let your skin breathe at night. No matter how tired you are you can always spend at least two minutes to remove your makeup.

2. Dirty Makeup Applicators
Applicators, brushes and sponges should always be clean. They accumulate makeup products, dead skin cells, dust and need to be regularly washed. If not cleaned properly, they become the real reason why you have rash, infected skin or allergy. Replace old applicators with new ones – that’s the quickest way to prevent bacteria and infection from spreading.

3. Nail Biting
One of the most disgusting habits ever! Not only does nail biting affect your looks, it is also very unhealthy. You touch a great number of various things throughout the day and bacteria that stays on your hands and under your nails later on gets into your mouth. As for the beauty – well, who wants their nails chewed and ragged? Chew gum instead. Ask for professional help, do yoga or coat your nails with a nasty-tasting polish.

5. Ignoring the Sunscreen
Dry skin is prone to wrinkles. No one wants to look older than they really are. It does not matter what ethnic group you belong to. People of any skin type and color are highly recommended to use sunscreen and never go outside without sunscreen on. We all love summer. Tanned skin might look more attractive, but do not forget that the sun is too aggressive and its rays can negatively influence your looks. Let sunscreen be part of your daily routine.

7. Combing/Brushing Wet Hair
Wet hair should not be combed or brushed when right after shower. Let them dry first. If you are in a hurry and have no time to wait for your hair to dry on its own, use a dryer. Set it so that the temperature of the air coming out of the dryer would not be too high. Warm or cold air is preferred. Attach a special brush to the dryer and gently brush your hair when it is damp.
