These Bad Habits Are Ruining Your Skin

Is your skin prone to frequent breakouts? Have you tried all facepacks, beauty parlour treatments, eating healthy food and drinking bottle after bottle of water to still have horrible acne on your face? Are you wondering what you are doing wrong? Well, we all have unhealthy habits that cause sickness and if your skin is showing you signs of being unhealthy, then these must be the things you are doing wrong.

Being Too Touchy-Feely

Do you feel itchy and touch your face all the time? Then be prepared to see whiteheads, blackheads and painful acne on your face and back as the dirt from your hands (or nails, especially if you have long nails and do not clean them properly) can infect the skin. Scratching your scalp because it feels flaky or irritated is another bad habit that can transfer the oils and bacteria.

Being A Dirty Gal

Not keeping your mobile phone clean and wondering why you have those breakouts on your cheeks? Start with the good habit of wiping the mobile phone screen every time you put the phone to your ear to avoid transferring the infectious bacteria along with the dirt and oil on it. Keep your spectacles, makeup brushes and anything that comes into contact with your skin totally clean.

Trying To Be A Sleeping Beauty

Sleeping with your makeup on because you are too tired or lazy to take it off is a sin with a capital S girls! Using makeup wipes is also not enough as it only clears away the cosmetic product from the skin, leaving behind the dirt that is enough to make itsy-bitsy acne pop up the next day.

Scrubbing Your Skin Like A Dish

Your skin is not a greased utensil to be scrubbed roughly with harsh scrubs to remove the upper layer. Yes you may look refreshed after a vigorous scrubbing session but it irritates the hell out of your skin and it will react to this by producing more oils to clog pores. Likewise, do not make the mistake of forgetting to scrub once a week as it can remove the dead cells to refresh your skin. Just use natural scrubs like sugar, sooji or oatmeal for that rosy glow.

Eating Sugar Like There’s No Tomorrow

Bingeing on sugary delights every now and then is not only bad for your figure and teeth but it can also cause acne breakouts unlike anything. Sugar elevates the insulin levels and this can cause inflammation in body resulting in acne, says Dr Lipy Gupta Dermatologist at Delhi’s Max Super Specialty Hospital. Indulging too much in alcohol and smoking away your lungs is another bad habit that you should give up to have flawless skin, she says.

So if you think that you are guilty of these bad habits, stop right away and see the difference in some time. For more important skincare tips, haircare tips and tips to make your skin as flawless as celebs, keep reading Her Zindagi to #BeBeautiful.
