Bad beauty habits can compromise our looks and health and just like any habit, they can be hard to kick without the right tools. A lack of cleanliness, routine or care can put a damper on otherwise healthy skin and nails.
Follow these five tips to beat your bad beauty habits:
1. Wash your makeup brushes on the days you do laundry or dry-cleaning. On average, most people do laundry about once a week. This is also the perfect schedule to clean your makeup brushes, and doing it on the same day will help you remember.
2. When you want to bite your nails, reach for the rubber gloves. And we don’t mean so that you can gnaw on the rubber instead. The rubber gloves are for house-cleaning, which isn’t a particularly enjoyable task for most. If you make yourself mop, dust or scrub every time you start to chew, it will not only stop the damage in the short term, but will make nail-biting less appealing in the long term. 
3. Wash your face at the same time every night. When the clock strikes a late hour and you’ve had an exhausting day, three glasses of wine or both, nothing calls out stronger than your bed. Avoid the temptation to skip face washing by doing it at the same time - an early time - every night. Your makeupless skin will thank you.
4. Keep a glass of water or a water bottle in every room. Hydration is key to dewy-glowy skin, but you’re less likely to drink up if water isn’t within easy reach. Keep water everywhere: your room, the office, the living room, the car, the bathroom and anywhere else you spend time.
5. Unless you need it due to poor vision, throw away your magnifying mirror - now. The more imperfections you can see, the more you risk damaging your skin by over-plucking, over-squeezing, over-exfoliating or worse. No one has magnifying vision, so there’s no need for a magnifying mirror.
Another tip for preserving your good looks is to set and keep regular maintenance appointments. Otherwise, other life tasks vie for limited time slots and you end up pushing your much-needed spa visits to the back burner. Many a haggard-looking manicure and pedicure is the result of this time fiasco.
