Okay, so we know that sleeping with make up on isn’t fantastic for the skin, and we should probably not squeeze our spots… but what other beauty crimes are there? I’ve been reading up on what I should and shouldn’t be doing, and I was really surprised at what I do that I’m not supposed to… oops! Here are the top eight beauty crimes we commit without knowing… let’s see if we can raise awareness!

1. Moisturizer Overload

Moisturizer is good for the skin, right? I lather myself in the stuff, it makes me all soft… but too much isn’t good for you. Instead of looking rosy and soft, you’ll look greasy, shiny and sweaty, and your make up won’t apply properly… oops! To use the right amount, avoid putting it over your T zone, or limit yourself to using a fingerful.

2. Conditioner Chaos

I love having soft and shiny hair, so I always use conditioner. I’m guilty of using a bit too much though, as you are only supposed to use a small amount. Using any more leaves your hair looking lank and lifeless! Make sure you don’t apply it to your roots, and try to only use it every second shower.

3. Hairdresser Hell

Hairdressers might know hair, but they don’t know you personal style, so don’t let them decide what to do. Have at least an idea on the type of style and length that you want, or you risk a cut that you hate, and a few months worth of hats!
