Bulsha:- There are a lot of things that we normally do every day that can affect our looks. This should not be a problem if these things can only help improve our looks but the only problem is that some of these things can actually ruin our beauty. Here are things that we do on a regular basis that can ruin your beauty.
1. Sleeping Can Actually Ruin Your Skin
There is this term called beauty sleep and this is indeed necessary for your beauty and wellness. We acknowledge this fact, but the problem is not with sleeping itself but the other factors that could happen during the process. If you have an air conditioned room, then you could possibly face moisture problems on your skin that could cause aging. The pillowcase that you are using can also draw moisture away from the skin and can leave marks and lines on your face and body. To fight this problem, make sure you apply a skin moisturizer before going to sleep or use pillowcases that are made out of silk to prevent irritated your skin.
2. Makeup Can Also Be Bad For Your Skin
A regular American woman uses at least 10 beauty products every day. This is quite alarming given that makeup and so-called skin care products can be harmful to the skin. Although they can be helpful in order to highlight facial value, they can also cause damage to the skin if they are left in there for quite some time. This is why you need to wash your face and remove all makeup before going to bed. Another factor on why makeup becomes damaging to the skin is the way we apply makeup. Most of the time, we only use bare fingers when applying makeup, this should not be a problem except that a lot of use do not wash our hands when applying makeup which could leave bacteria trapped on the surface of your face.
3. Taking Care Of Your Nails
Taking the best care of your nails is also critical for health and beauty. If you do not pay attention to the nail, especially the toenails, then it can lead to serious problems such as fungal infection. The fungal infection is more common in toenails because they are more likely to be in dark and moist environment like the shoes. There is also less blood flow in the toes as compared to the fingers which can make it difficult for the immune system to detect an infection and stop it. It can cause discoloration of nails as well. You can have dark green toenail fungus or your nails can turn yellowish or black. So it is important to clean your feet and toes thoroughly after wearing shoes to dispel any chance of infection. Distorted nails are not pretty!
4. Talking On The Phone For Hours Can Be Damaging To Our Skin
It is inevitable for us to talk on the phone for long hours due to work or for personal reasons. However, let us keep in mind that this can cause hygiene problems because cellular phones can have a lot of bacteria. Cell phones can be left anywhere such as tabletops, pockets, car seats etc., but we do not even disinfect them when using the device close to our mouth and ears. It would not be surprising if you suffer skin irritations and other skin blemishes due to long hours on the phone.
5. Too Much Washing Can Damage Your Hair
Keeping your hair clean is a must but if you tend to overdo washing then that can already be damaging towards your hair. Shampoos and hair conditioners contain a chemical called sodium urethral sulfate that is needed by hair conditioners and shampoos to do their function. This chemical can also be responsible for damage if hair is exposed to it for a long time. The most common problem out of too much washing is hair loss or premature balding. If you are cautious enough, then you can find some shampoo and hair conditioner products that do not contain this product.
These 5 things are usually a part of our daily routine, but now we know that they can be damaging to our health, perhaps we should refrain from or at least be more mindful of the way we take care of ourselves. Just keep everything in moderation since some of these things can be inevitable. As long as you are conscious and aware of these habits, you can prevent your beauty from being damaged.
