Considering we’re all giving
ourselves resolutions for the new year, now’s the time to evaluate what’s going
on in your life. As amazing as those resolutions about learning to cook and
exercising more can be, it’s equally as important to figure out what you should
be ditching for
2014. Do you eat too much sugar? Do you fall asleep with your makeup on every
night?
There’s no time like the present to
leave bad habits in the past, and we’re guessing that you could ditch at least
one or two of the bed beauty habit below.
Biting your nails (and
cuticles): Whatever you do, stop biting your fingers. Not only is it
unsanitary — you’re putting bacteria from your hands into your mouth, then
leaving your fingers more susceptible to infection — it’s also unsightly. Keep
your nails short to avoid wanting to bite them and apply cuticle oil to your
fingers once a day.
Not moisturizing: Whether it’s
your face or your body, not moisturizing your skin (especially in the winter)
can cause dry, flaky skin. Get into the routine of applying lotion within 10
minutes of getting out of the shower, when your skin is holding onto moisture,
and you’ll notice smoother, softer skin in no time.
Being afraid of color: On your
lips, your eyes or your nails, stop being afraid to add a drop of color into
your look. To ease yourself into it, try a lip stain instead of lipstick,
colored liner instead of eyeshadow, or one accent nail in a bold color instead
of a whole manicure.
Over-plucking your eyebrows: We know it’s
tempting, but put down the tweezers. 2013 was the year of the bold brows, but
they won’t be going anywhere in 2014. Use an eyebrow pencil or gel while you
grow in your brows naturally, and only pluck stray hairs where you absolutely
need to.
Touching your face: Hands down,
people. Touching your face is likely why you’ve got red spots or acne
happening, and when you stop touching your face, it’s highly likely all those
issues will go away. At first if it’s a huge habit, make sure you’ve always got
something in your hands so that you won’t touch your face. In time, you’ll get
used to not touching your face anymore and your skin will thank you.
Not using a base coat: If you have
yellow nails, not using a base coat is likely the culprit. Not only are you
protecting your nails from being stained by polish, you’re also helping to make
your manicure last longer and you’ll be making your nails stronger.
Wearing your hair up every
day: It’s one thing if you feel like you look your best while your hair
is up. It’s another thing entirely if you simply throw your hair up into a
ponytail or bun because you don’t want to do your hair. Start with once a week,
but make the choice to actually style your hair instead of avoiding it. You’ll
feel better about yourself, and your confidence will go through the roof.
Falling asleep with makeup on: This one’s
an obvious habit to kick, but that doesn’t make it any less important. Sleeping
with makeup on is asking for terrible skin, and no one wants that. Resolve to
do it for three weeks straight and after that you’ll be in the habit of taking
off your makeup.
Hope all this tips were helpful for you
