Beastly Mistakes

October 17, 2008


We often take trouble wondering what to do in order to look good. Often, it is what not to do that makes more of a difference. Here are simple don’ts to remember while grooming yourself.

Avoid sleeping with make-up on. Not only does it increase the duration that chemicals come in contact with the skin, but also prevents the skin from breathing freely for a much longer time. This can lead to the formation of pimples and acne, and can also cause allergies.

Never rub the face dry after washing. Use a soft towel and pat the skin dry so that some moisture is left on the face at all times.

Do not use any new cosmetics unless you have tested them first. Many products recommend a patch-test before use. Carry it out to negate the possibility of your skin reacting with the product. Try using products that have more natural and herbal ingredients.

Throw away any old or expired cosmetics. Never use them no matter how precious they are to you, or no matter how desperate the situation. You are better off without make-up that using dead products.

Avoid excessive bleaching. Large amounts of peroxide strip the skin of natural moisture, making it more dry. It also accelerates ageing of the skin, and makes it look dull and lifeless.

Do not wax the skin if it is irritable. Rashes of allergies can worsen if the areas are waxed. Waxing could also cause the allergy to spread to other parts of the body.

Washing the face too often with soap is also harmful. It removes natural oils that are required and causes the skin to dry up faster. Use plain water to refresh the skin instead.

Stick to simple rules that can never go wrong. You will see that caring for yourself is not so difficult after all.
