Many people will go great lengths in the name of beauty but some habits can be doing more harm than good. Bad beauty habits can compromise your appearance and overall well-being. If you’re doing any of the following, you may want to reconsider:

Failing to drink enough water

One of the most effective ways to nurture skin comes right out of the tap in the kitchen sink. When people forget to drink adequate amounts of water, loss of fluids can result in dry skin that may have a tired, faded look. Even subtle wrinkles may become more pronounced as a result.

Excess sun or tanning

Many people aspiring to have a warm, golden glow will spend hours in the sun or at tanning salons. However, ultraviolet rays that come from the sun or tanning beds can be very harmful to the skin with primary risks being premature aging and skin cancer.

Using dirty makeup brushes

Cosmetics can completely transform appearance, often with minimal effort. But by failing to clean brushes after frequent use, women are potentially exposing themselves to bacteria and other microorganisms that congregate on brushes and applicators. This bacteria can even spread into the beauty products themselves.

Taking hot showers

While this may be more of a concern in winter, water that is too hot can remove a layer of the protective oils on skin and hair. It’s best to use a moderate temperature instead.
