NEGATIVE SELFTALK AND [NEGATIVE] PEOPLE.

"A negative mindset and being around negativity affects your emotional well-being. You are who you surround yourself with, and I’ve found that being around upbeat positive people motivates me and leaves me feeling much happier mentally and emotionally."

NOT CLEANING YOUR MAKEUP BRUSHES.

3.

SKIPPING YOUR WORKOUTS.

"Regular exercise not only helps physically, but it also reduces stress and anxiety, helps you sleep better and can reduce chances of developing illness later in life. So, stick to your routine!"

"It helps prevent bacteria build-up, which leads to breakouts and it also helps your makeup go on smoother. Another perk? It extends the life of your brush."

There are a ton of makeup brush cleaners out there. Make sure you check the ingredients for anything that might irritate your skin before you try it, here's what Whitney does!

"I just use my body wash. Mix it with water and dip my brushes in and 'brush' them off. Lay them down to dry."

5. HOT SHOWERS.

"Hot showers strip natural oils from us, leading to dry, irritated skin. Cooler showers reduce inflammation, help alleviate muscle tension, improve circulation and wake you up."

6. SLEEPING IN YOUR MAKEUP.

"Just wash your face—your skin will thank you. And, it can cause premature aging, need I say more?"

7.

FOLLOWING PEOPLE ON SOCIAL MEDIA WHO DON’T MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF.

"Everyone is different, and social media should be a healthy place to interact and inspire you. Unfollowing the people who don’t make you feel good can create more of a positive experience and be beneficial to our overall well-being and mental state."
