Yes, we are sometimes exhausted. Yes, we tell ourselves that it is “not so bad”. And yet…
Sleeping with foundation, mascara, or lipstick on exposes your skin to a mixture of residue: makeup, sebum, pollution, dust. The result? Clogged pores, imperfections, a dull complexion, and accelerated skin aging. And your pillowcase doesn’t escape unscathed either!
The right reflex: always keep micellar water or makeup remover wipes within reach, even on your nightstand.
Neglecting small, visible downy hairs
A slight mustache, overly bushy eyebrows or a few hairs on the chin… These are details, but they influence the perception of the freshness of the face.
No need to go overboard: regular maintenance is enough. Today, there’s no shortage of options: wax, tweezers, threading, depilatory cream, or even permanent hair removal.
Beauty tip: Well-defined eyebrows open up the eyes and give an immediate healthy glow.
Forget your feet… even in winter
In the summer, we show them off. In the winter, we hide them. But your feet deserve attention all year round. Cracked heels, unkempt toenails: these
Small details can denote a neat appearance.
The solution is simple: a warm foot bath, pumice stone, and nourishing cream. No need to visit a beauty salon: 10 minutes a week is all it takes to keep your feet soft and clean.
Applying polish to poorly prepared nails
A home manicure can make your hands look beautiful. But applying polish to dirty or poorly filed nails is like putting on pumps over mismatched socks: the desired effect is ruined.
The basics of a successful manicure? Clean, file, push back cuticles, moisturize. Nothing complicated, but essential.
Remember: Clean, well-groomed nails look well-groomed, even without polish.
Neglecting dental hygiene
A neglected smile isn’t just a matter of aesthetics. It’s also a matter of health, well-being… and self-confidence. Yellow teeth, unpleasant breath: these can impact our social relationships.
And yet, a few simple steps are enough: brushing morning and night, flossing, mouthwash, and an annual visit to the dentist. If you smoke, be even more vigilant: tobacco yellows the enamel and accentuates odors.
Bottom line?
Self-care isn’t about vanity. It’s simply about respecting yourself, feeling good about yourself, and building your confidence. No need for expensive products: it’s consistency that makes the difference.
What if you started today by correcting just one of these small mistakes?
