From the nail salons that you should always avoid to the worst thing you can do for spotty skin, read on for her insights into the things we have to stop now.
Bare feet at a public swimming pool
'I can't help it – when I see someone who walks barefoot over those warm, moist tiles, my mind jumps directly to Verrucas (plantar warts). These annoying growths are caused by an contagious virus (HPV) that loves the moist, common poolside environment. Flip-flops are not only a fashion choice-they are self-defense! '
Barefoot at the pool? Maybe you are sorry
Wash your face with shower gel or shampoo
'I have been that person – public in a hotel bathroom or a sports room of the gym, realizing that I left my cleaning agent at home. But the use of shampoo or that shower gel in industrial strength is a guaranteed way to end with tight, dry, uncomfortable skin.
'If you are stuck, Body Lotion is a softer option. You can massage it to loosen make -up and it rinses with warm water. Or – pro -tip – keep a mini -bottle of micellar water in your sports bag. You will never be caught again. '

'A damp flannel that hangs in the shower for days? Perfect breeding ground for bacteria. Have a few and rotate after use. '

Get a pedicure somewhere that skips the right hygiene

Fungal infections, verrucas and even bacterial skin infections are all too often when cleanliness takes a rear seat. If you do not see metal tools coming directly from a sealed bag, run. Placing one end of a double -sided tool in a pot of barbicide, does not disinfect the other side. '
Scrub with grim exfoliators
'Scrubbing' your skin do not 'clean' – it only causes more inflammation (redness, bumpyness and swelling). '
Barre Exfoliators will not help acne-sensitive skin
Sunning as it is 1995
'When I see people lying in the sun, frying myself, I really wonder … How did you miss the memo?! Sunscreen, belt signs, skin cancer and premature sags are not atmosphere. There is nothing attractive about lobster shoulders and leathery skin. '
