The Problem: According to dermatologist Dr. Arleen Lamba, your skin regenerates, reestablishes its pH, and increases collagen production at night while you sleep, so using harsh cleansers and scrubs in the morning will only strip your skin off all these essential oil goodies.
The Solution: Leave the cleansing for the P.M. and wash your face only with water in the A.M. If you really need to cleanse, opt for a mild moisturising cleanser.
DRINKING WITH A STRAW
The Problem: As hard as it is to believe, frequent major slurping can cause wrinkles around your puckers over time, according to New York dermatologist Dr. David E. Bank.
The Solution: It's tough to totally dismiss straws, but just try not to engage in straw-drinking competitions.
OVER-PUMPING YOUR MASCARA
The Problem: You just want more product on your brush for better application (we understand), but Manuela Marcheggiani, a cosmetic chemist and co-founder of Canada’s Isomers (Skin Care) Laboratories says you’ll get quite the opposite. By pumping the wand in and out, you’re sending more air inside which could dry out the formula, causing it to spread unevenly, form clumps and smudge easily. You also risk introducing bacteria into the tube.
The Solution: Wipe the wand with a clean tissue before use to remove any dried product that might clump on your lashes.
RUBBING YOUR WRISTS TOGETHER AFTER SPRAYING PERFUME ON THEM
The Problem: If you heard that this could let the fragrance set in better, then it’s time you know the truth from Givaudan perfumer Yann Vasnier. He explained that this only distorts the scent as the friction increases the interaction between the fragrance and your skin’s natural oils.
The Solution: One spritz on each wrist and no rubbing. You can also try two on the neck and one on the décolletage – these are the best spots to help diffuse the scent.
