10 Things You Might Be Doing Wrong For Your Skin And Hair

Hey Lovely People!

A Very Happy 2016 to you all. I wish this year to be your best year till now :-*. Most of the people make some resolutions for New Year which they try to follow and attain in that year. What are your New Year Resolutions? Let me know in the comment section below :-). My New Year Resolution is to save money for some nice holiday trip :-p. 

I want you guys to add 1 more resolution in your list i.e to take care of your skin and hair. And that's why, I am going to tell you some things which you might be doing wrong for your skin and hair. I hope you change those wrong habits, if you are doing so, in this New Year 2016 and make your skin and hair healthier. Let's see what are those things that you might be doing wrong.


1. NOT WASHING YOUR HANDS BEFORE WASHING YOUR FACE: 


Even I used to do this mistake earlier. But, then I realized that our hands are full of germs and dirt as we do all the work with our hands. At the time of washing the face, it is very important that our hands are clean as they are going to be in direct touch with the face. Do not compromise with your skin. It will take a few seconds extra but you will get healthier and problem-free skin :-).

2. NOT MOISTURIZING YOUR SKIN: 


No matter what your skin type is, whether it is normal, dry or oily, you have to moisturize your skin. There are a variety of moisturizers available in the market for all the skin types. Oily skinned beauties, don't hesitate to apply a moisturizer on your face as there are gel based moisturizers available for you guys. Dry and normal skinned girls, have you noticed any dark patches on your skin? It's because your skin is not hydrated. Use a cream/moisturizer according to your skin type, not only for your face but for your whole body. 

3. NOT USING SUNSCREEN LOTION IN WINTER SEASON: 


Many people don't use a sunscreen lotion in winter season as the rays of sun, according to them, are not that strong. We all enjoy sun in winter season but that doesn't mean that its rays are any less harmful at that time. So, start using a sunscreen lotion and protect your skin from pre-mature aging, wrinkles, tanning and skin diseases. 

4. NOT WASHING YOUR FACE BEFORE SCRUBBING:


We all know that scrubbing our face once or twice a week removes the dead skin cells from our skin and makes it soft and smooth. Scrubbing opens up our skin pores so that all the dead skin cells come out. If you do not wash your face before scrubbing it, all the dirt and impurities that are stuck on your face, will go inside your skin because of the open pores. It may result in acne, breakouts, etc.

5. NOT CLOSING THE PORES AFTER SCRUBBING:


As scrubbing opens up the skin pores, it is very important to close those pores so that no dirt or impurities enter our skin. For that, either use a face mask or ice cold water after scrubbing. Then, take a toner/rose water on cotton bud and gently apply it on your face. With that, you are good to go ;) and don't forget the moisturizer :-p.

6. USING THE SAME PILLOW COVER FOR A LONG TIME: 


It is very important to change your pillow cover frequently as you lay down your face and hair on it every night and sometimes in day time also. The oil from your  face and hair goes into that cover. Also, the dirt and other impurities present in the environment get stuck on your pillow cover. So, it is advisable to change your pillow cover as frequently as you can. 

7. NOT WASHING YOUR TOWEL FREQUENTLY: 


Just like pillow cover, changing your towel frequently is equally important as it also comes in direct contact with our skin. So, wash your towel as soon as possible and try to use a soft towel for your skin. 

8. DRYING YOUR HAIR WITH TOWEL: 


If you are still using a towel for your hair after washing it, stop doing that from today only. It just makes your hair frizzy and dry. Try using a cotton t-shirt to wrap your wet hair instead and you will see how soft and smooth your hair has become. 

9. OILING YOUR HAIR AND GOING OUT: 


Oiling is very important for our hair to make them strong and long. But, oiling your hair and roaming around in dirt and pollution is a Big No. Oil attracts the dirt from the environment and it sticks on your hair, resulting in hair fall and dandruff. So, try to be at home when you have done oiling on your hair and go out only after washing it :-).

10. NOT USING HEAT PROTECTANT FOR STYLING HAIR: 


If you are using a hair straightener or iron rod for styling your hair, don't forget to apply a heat protecting spray on your hair first. I won't say that it will keep your hair 100% damage free but it will definitely take care of your hair to a great extent. 


I think, these tips are easy to follow. So, stop doing the wrong things and start taking care of your skin and hair from this year. Remember your new 'New Year Resolution'? ;-) See you all in my next post. Love you all :-*
