Our everyday habits are very necessary as they make our daily routine and can contribute to bad personal hygiene. We do not knowingly make these mistakes; it’s just we are not much aware of these things. So, let’s check out the blog to understand what all things come in proper hygiene.

# Sleeping with make-up on

I can understand when you come home from a party, you are all tired up and do not have the energy to even get up. But sleeping with your makeup is the worst treatment you can give to your skin, it’s like sleeping in a tight dress where you cannot breathe freely. First of all, always use a good quality makeup, it won’t cause any reaction to your skin and second, always remove your makeup before sleeping. Removing makeup helps your skin to breathe properly and you won’t face any breakout.

# Sharing your makeup products

Many times without noticing, we tend to share our makeup products with others. Well, this is not acceptable. Using other makeup brush or makeup products is like taking their bacteria. Therefore, you should never share your makeup products, they are once personal.

# Exfoliating daily

It is true that exfoliation helps to remove dead skin cells from your face and deeply cleanse it. But daily exfoliation can lead to skin breakout. Exfoliation should not be done on daily basis; it will cause you more harm than good. Always exfoliate your face once or twice in a week.

# Using the same toothbrush for a long period of time

We do not really care for our brush, in fact, it’s in our habit to hold onto one brush for a long period of time. Brushing is important and we even do it twice a day, but do we think whether or not our teeth are cleaned. Yes, the toothbrush should be changed every 2-3 months and not when it gives up.

# Not showering Post-workout

It is a very good habit to workout. In fact, exercising keeps your fit, active and healthy. But if you are taking your health so seriously, you also should take care of your skin. When you work out, you get all sweaty and that is one great place for bacteria and germs to come and party. The more you delay in taking shower, after work out the more time germs and bacteria get to settled down.

# Cutting your toe nails too short

You must have seen that when by mistake you cut your toe nails too short, you feel difficulty in walking. This happens as cutting your toe nails too short put a lot of stress on the toenails, which can lead to problems like ingrown nails or pincer nails. So, make sure you cut your nails in a proper shape so that it does not put much stress.
