Top 5 Beauty Habits vs Top 5 Worst Habits for Your Beauty

Top 5 Beauty Habits

1. Wearing SPF every day all year round.
Sun is the main cause of premature aging. Get more out of this great habit by applying SPF not only to your face but dcollet and hands as well!
2. Drinking lots of water daily.
Liquid keeps your whole body and skin well hydrated and balanced!
3. Sleeping no less than 8 hours per day.
Good night sleep gives your skin a chance to regenerate. Maximize the benefits by training yourself to sleep on your back and on a low pillow. This will not only keep your neck and dcollet area looking smooth for longer but will also delay development of a deep nasolabial fold on the side of your face you like to sleep on ;-)
4. Preferring red wine to white wine and green tea to coffee.
Both red wine and green tea are packed with precious anti-oxidants. Red wine, in particular, contains polyphenols and resveratrol, which is known to have anti-cancer, anti-aging and anti-inflammatory properties.
5. Eating lots of vegetables and fruits.
These will provide anti-oxidants and vitamins necessary to protect and preserve your beauty!
