Proper skin care: laugh less and be surprised

Habit # 1. Laugh and Frown

Of course, laughter is good for your health. It stimulates the synthesis of endorphins (happiness hormones). But it has a bad effect on the condition of the skin, provoking the appearance of mimic wrinkles. Laughter primarily affects the skin of the eyelids when crow’s feet appear in the corners of the eyes, and the face when unattractive nasolabial folds appear. The habit of frowning the eyebrows leaves deep vertical lines between them, and the manner of wrinkling the forehead draws horizontal lines. The skin around the mouth can suffer from the mistress’s need to purse her lips forever. Of course, these movements are reflex, and it is rather difficult to control them, but it is possible.

What to do: the only chance to cope with the problem on your own is tight control. Start small – for example, instead of laughing, sometimes just smile. To wean yourself from frowning, carry out preventive work: for a couple of hours, glue thin strips of tissue paper dipped in water to your forehead. They will allow better control facial expressions… After a while, you will be able to deal with it on your own.

Habit # 2. Touching your face with your hands

You rest your cheek with your palm or rest your fist on your chin, constantly scratching your nose or touching your forehead. Thus, you stretch the skin, ensuring the appearance of premature wrinkles. Touching the skin with unwashed hands, you also bring in new microbes, which immediately spread over the upper layer of the epidermis and, rest assured, greatly harm it.

What to do: as in the case of facial expressions – rigid self-control. You can deceive yourself – for example, if you like to prop your cheek with your palm, take beads, a candy wrapper in this hand, twist the handle, do whatever, as long as your hands are in business.

Habit # 3. Squeezing out pimples

The more often you do this, the more you stimulate the secretion of the sebaceous glands, which increases the oiliness of the skin. And if no one can stop you makeup, nor unwashed hands, which means that you also bring in dirt, injure healthy tissues and spread the infection. All this causes irritation and new rashes. And even if it seems to you that you are doing everything right (steam out the skin, use wipes), you are mistaken. Only cosmetologists in the salon can do this correctly.

What to do: use antiseptic agents, for example, octenisept lotion, it will instantly rid the skin of harmful microbes. Be sure to contact a beautician, you will receive valuable recommendations already at the first appointment. In the salon, you can make a special healing cream, prescribe cleansing and masks. Soon you will notice improvements, and the desire to spoil your skin will disappear.

Habit # 4. Lip biting

Girlish habit. We bite our lips with anger and impatience when we are carried away or moved by something. In general, there is always a reason to catch your lips with your teeth, only the consequences of this habit look unattractive.

Habit # 5. Cross-legged

The habit of sitting cross-legged is the most common and harmful habit. Especially for those whose working day is sitting.

The money spent on the procedure will deprive you of the desire to spoil the beauty of your legs for a long time.
