But you could be engaging in a few habits that may be doing more harm than good. Here are some common beauty faux pas that women likely want to avoid. · Scrubbing skin: Dermatologists say the skin naturally sheds dead cells, so for most people it is unnecessary to use harsh exfoliants or scouring pads to rid the skin of dead cells. · Popping pimples: It can be quite difficult to resist popping a pimple, but doing so can cause irritation and spread bacteria, and you may end up getting more blemishes as a result. Change these bad beauty habits · Wrapping wet hair in a towel turban: Gathering wet locks together and twisting them into a towel is a recipe for damage and breakage. · Failing to clean makeup tools: All of those brushes, wands and applicators need to be routinely washed with a mild cleanser and allowed to air dry. · Layering products: You may have a variety of products, but while they may work well on their own, there is no way to know how they will interact. · Poor washing habits: Some women fall into bed at night without washing makeup from their faces. While this is alright once in a while, it may lead to irritation or blemishes over time. MICRODERMABRASION Special Offer 4 Treatments $ Must purchase by April 30, 2013 with coupon.
