Donʻt make these skin mistakes

Drink lots of water to stay hydrated 

bad skin DON'T #1 : Taking those long hot showers
Unfortunately taking those long hot showers is going to damage your skin. It strips your skin of itʻs natural lipids. (EveryDayHealth.com). When these lipids are reduced, it causes your skin to get dry and itchy. We all know that thatʻs super uncomfortable. If you're cold and you want that warm relaxing feeling, try shower in some lukewarm water instead of scorching your skin.

bad skin DON'T #2 : You don't use sunscreen (even during winter)
try to sunscreen your skin up everyday. The suns rays are more harmful now days than in in previous generations. The suns peak hours have extended, it used to be try to stay out of the sun between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. but now it's until 4 p.m. Who would've thought?
Yes, it may be cloudy during winter and it might not feel like you're getting any sun, but those UVA rays are the same year round (everydayhealth.com). Then go for a moisturizer that's heavier, and soothing, that cold winter wind and air can be irritating to your skin.

bad skin "Don't" #3: Toweling off vigorously after you shower. Just like how you're supposed to pat dry your face after washing, pat dry your body. Rubbing the towel vigorously can irritate the skin. Apply some moisturizer to your skin while it's damp and it'll lock in that moisture.

DO - Drink lots of water daily. If you're a morning coffee drinker, than be sure to suck up that water. Caffeine will dry out the skin and show wrinkles more. So keep that skin hydrated! and don't squint your forehead :)

Fight bad breath

It's not that attractive going to kiss someone or just hanging out with friends and your breath stinks...

Here's a list of a few things that can help you fight bad breath from RealAge.com


Lemons- suck on a lemon, chew one or even get some lemon hard candies. If you're at a restaurant and there are no lemons in sight, just order lemon with sparkling water.

Apples - really?!? yep, this crispy fruit and some friends, like pears have bumps on them and make your saliva work, give a kind of scrubbing action in your mouth.

Yogurt and berries - if you're feeling for something sweet in your mouth, pick up a half a cup of plain yogurt of Sugar free yogurt twice a day. this can help to lower that rotten egg smell, or hydrogen sulfide mouth levels. Yay! that sounds great, I surely don't want to be walking around with rotten egg mouth.
