Beauty Do’s & Don’ts: Avoid Making Common Beauty Routine Mistakes

Ever wonder what simple beauty mistakes we make without even realizing it? Every woman (and even some men) are probably guilty of at least one of these. Here is what I believe are the top 5 most commonly made mistakes when it comes to personal grooming and beauty:
 


#1 – NEVER pump your mascara. Pumping mascara pushes air into the tube and increases the chances of it drying out sooner. Instead, roll the tube between the palms of your hands to get the liquids flowing before each application. Also remember to keep your mascara no more than 3 months before tossing it and replacing it with fresh product. 

 
#2 – ALWAYS moisturize your skin after every shower or bath. Forgetting to do so will make your skin flaky and also make it look undernourished and dry. Moisturized skin looks and feels healthier.
 
 
#3 – NEVER pop your pimples. Popping acne damages the skin on your face and increases the likelihood of scarring and additional breakouts.
 
 
#4 – NEVER substitute soap for shaving cream. Shaving cream creates a cushion that prevents cuts, and irritation from friction, so stick with shave cream and not slippery body wash/soap! =)

 
 
 #5 – DON’T go overboard with your tweezer:  Avoid over-tweezing your eyebrows. Some hairs never grow back so don’t overdo it unless you plan on drawing on your brows when you’re older.
