Breaking Bad Skin Care Habits

Did you know that some of your daily habits and routines could be negatively affecting the health and appearance of your skin? Everything from what you put into your body to what you put on your body can spell trouble for your skin if you’re not careful. Smoking is bad for your overall health and can lead to signs of premature aging, including wrinkles. It can also make your skin turn a yellowish color, so try to quit smoking. If you don’t get enough sleep at night, it can show on your skin in the form of bags and wrinkles under your eyes. Try to get at least eight hours of sleep per night so you look and feel refreshed in the morning. Some people tend to pick or scratch at their skin, which can leave scars, so ask your dermatologist to help you get to the root of your scratching.
