Sometimes we are least aware but some beauty moves that we do can actually damage our hair and skin.
2. Picking your face. "Regardless of whether you have a pimple or a spot of some sort on your face, do not pick it,Because the moment you do, the area will become red and even get infected and turn into a larger issue if you can't stop yourself, "Then, you'll be left with a big scar."
3. Introducing more than one beauty product into your routine at once. "You can get actually give yourself contact dermatitis — a red, rash-like allergic reaction — if you start using too many new products on your complexion at once," she says. "To avoid this from happening, I recommend introducing any new products one at a time to be sure you're not allergic to any of their ingredients."
4. Skipping sunscreen. "A lot of young people are afraid that if they use an SPF daily they'll breakout, but the trick to making sure that's not the case is getting an oil-free sunscreen and using it religiously," Gerstner says. "The sun has it's own dangers that we need to be protected from, but its harsh rays can also cause scarring if you have or have had acne and don't protect your skin from UV rays. Contrary to popular belief, sunlight cannot dry up a pimple, so don't skip SPF because you think you're going to end up with clearer skin — it's just not the case." Try an oil-free one
5.Using a foundation that is suffocating your skin. "If you're using a foundation that's too heavy, you can actually clog your pores," she says. "If you want coverage, you still need to find a formula that will let your skin breathe. If it looks or feels like it's caked on, then it's probably too thick for your skin and could end up causing breakouts with continued use."
6. Wiping your eyes like crazy to get your makeup off. "Be gentle when you're removing your makeup, After you've dampened a cotton ball with your remover, take a minute and let the makeup breakdown as you hold it against your eye before you start wiping it off. Rubbing your eyes ferocisously will only leave your eyes and the surrounding skin red and irritated. Worst case scenario: you could even cause a blood vessel to burst."
7.Sharing makeup. Sure, she's your BFF but her bacteria isn't as friendly as she is. Stay away from sharing your favorite eye liner, mascara, any makeup you own with your friends, since each time you do it, you transfer bacteria. And since not all bacteria play well together, you could end up with an uncomfortable eye infection in exchange for your beauty-filled generosity.
8.Never brushing your hair. "Brushing your hair invigorates the blood in your scalp, bringing it to the follicle,And the healthier the follicle is, the healthier and more lustrous your hair will look."
9.Copying ballerinas and pulling your hair back too tightly."Over time this can cause breakage to the hairline, since you're essentially putting a lot of tension on your hair at the root
10.Trying to bleach your hair yourself. "If you're trying to do ombré look or give yourself highlights at home, and your hair comes out looking more yellow than what you were going for, call your stylist,If you go out and buy another box, thinking you're going to give it another go, think again. You could end up frying off your hair and making it fall out in the end, which would be terrbile and unfixable."
