7 bad habits that can ruin your appearance

1. Don’t support your face with your hands

Frequency of occurrence: This action is very common when in a meeting, reading, feeling a little dizzy...

Long-term effects: permanent wrinkles

When you support your chin with your palm, the pressure of your palm on your face will cause the skin on your face to be pulled, making wrinkles more likely to appear. The most frightening thing is that once this action causes wrinkles, they are permanent, unlike the fine lines and wrinkles caused by dry skin. In other words, this type of wrinkles is difficult to eliminate easily no matter how expensive the skin care products are.

2. Don’t wrinkle your nose often

Frequency of occurrence: Mostly occurs when smiling or laughing.

Long-term effects: Young girls also get wrinkles

The first parts of the face where wrinkles appear are those that are often affected by the facial muscles, such as the corners of the eyes, under the eyes, between the eyebrows, and on the forehead. Lines will appear when the skin is touched, but they will disappear as soon as the expression returns to normal, so there is no need to worry. If expression lines take a long time to disappear, you should start paying attention.

3. Don’t only favor one side of the teeth

Frequency of occurrence: If a person has this habit, then it is maintained for three meals a day.

Long-term impact: The asymmetrical face is born

If you maintain the bad habit of chewing on one side for a long time due to toothache or personal hobby, the facial muscles on the side where you often chew food will become stronger and stronger, while the facial muscles on the other side will degenerate due to frequent disuse. Over time, the left and right sides of the face will become different sizes, forming an "big or small" face! Please, on a woman's face, asymmetry is not a personality trait, but a beauty taboo.

4. Do not use exaggerated expressions

Frequency of occurrence: This happens when you exaggerate when speaking or making facial expressions.

Long-term effects: The musical notation on the forehead appears quietly

Any movement that pulls the skin repeatedly can cause wrinkles, even blinking or raising your eyebrows while talking. Fortunately, there are not many Chinese women with exaggerated expressions. This is probably one of the reasons why European and American women have more wrinkles than Asian women after middle age.

5. Do not apply the mask for more than 15 minutes

Frequency of occurrence: Some people believe that application time is proportional to the effect, while others often forget the time.

Long-term effects: Dry skin, allergies, and aging

Be sure to read the instructions before applying a facial mask. Generally, the mask should not be left on the face for more than 15 minutes. If you apply a facial mask for too long, it will absorb moisture from your skin and put a "mask" on your pores, affecting the skin's absorption of nutrients and secretion of oil, causing allergies.

6. Don’t use your fingers to dig out the mask

Frequency of occurrence: It is natural to use your hands to take a large jar of facial mask.

Long-term effects: Polluted face masks can make your skin worse

You think your hands are clean, but that's just your illusion. There are a lot of bacteria and dust on your hands, which will deteriorate the quality of the mask and contaminate the entire jar once they enter the mask. If the facial mask is packaged with a large mouth, it is also wrong to leave it open to the air when using it. The contamination of skin care products will cause skin deterioration. When using facial masks or other skin care products, try to avoid direct contact with the product with your hands. Instead, use a clean pick or spoon to take it out. If you don't want to bother, it's better to choose products that are tightly packaged and divided into separate quantities for each use.

7. Don’t be superstitious about DIY

Frequency of occurrence: There are DIY facial mask recipes everywhere, and people are using them everywhere.

Long-term effects: skin allergies and damage

Excessive reliance on natural ingredients such as fruits, yogurt, and honey has led to the DIY mask craze. In fact, doing so poses considerable risks to the skin, because the raw materials and tools for DIY masks are not as clean and safe as imagined, and the amount and concentration of some raw materials added are also difficult to control. There was a lady in Taiwan who was almost disfigured because of using a DIY facial mask! So if you are not very experienced, it is better not to regard DIY secret recipes as a beauty magic weapon and just apply a bunch of food on your face.
