1. Not exfoliating regularly:
If you aren't scrubbing once a week, then you are aging your skin. Dead skin cells often bring a dull look to your face. Also, low blood circulation lowers the radiance in the face, and the best way to get back the glow on your face is exfoliation. Scrubbing would not only remove dead skin cells but when you massage your face, you improve the blood circulation, which will stimulate the circulation in your face and give a ravishing look. Tip: don't over exfoliate as it will strip away the essential oils from your body.
2. Not applying SPF lip balm:
The way you protect your skin from sun exposure, take the same care for your lips. The UV rays can definitely damage your lips, turn them dark, bring sunspots, wrinkles so always apply lip balm with SPF before your favorite lipstick.
3. Pulling your hair in a ponytail:
So you love your sleek ponytail, but did you know that regularly wearing a tight ponytail can recede your hairline? Scary right? But worry not, instead of the sleek ponytail or topknot you can wear your hair in a loose ponytail and prevent hair fall.
Tip: don't wash your hair daily as it can wash off the essential oils of your hair and can weaken your hair follicles.
4. Hot long shower:
After a tiring day at work, all you want is a hot bubble bath, don't you? But regular hot shower can strip the outermost layer of your skin and turn it dry, dehydrated and irritant. Dehydrated skin can look dull and aged (you definitely don't want that). It is best to take bathe in lukewarm water and always moisturize your skin within 3 minutes after your shower.

5. Dirty Sunglasses:
Next time you have blackheads around the bridge of your nose, blame your dirty sunglasses. Bacteria reside on your sunnies and clogs your pores which cause breakouts, zits, so better clean your sunnies before wearing them.
6. Sleeping style:
Avoid sleeping on your stomach or sideways as it creates a pressure on your face, which will cause wrinkles, crows feet across your face, eyes respectively. So the best way to sleep is on your back with a satin pillowcase that will retain the moisture level on your face and reduce the chances of aging.
