Skipping Sunscreen
In Pakistan the scorching sun has been proven to cause premature aging, wrinkles and discoloration on the surface of our skin. Can you imagine how damaging the sun is underneath our skin?
Constant sun exposure can result insignificant changes to the skin’s texture and firmness. Facial serums, primers, foundations and BB creams offer multi-purpose benefits with SPF 15+. Not sure how to determine your SPF amount? Think of it this way, the less sun exposure you’re expecting for the day the less the amount of SPF. Normally SPF 15-30 works perfectly fine for working women.
Solution: Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Sun Block SPF 45 (1,100rs), Essence Pure Skin All in One BB Cream SPF 30+ (700rs), Luscious Whitening Base SPF 35 (1,296rs).
Biting & Licking Lips
If you find your lips to be chapped, 
cracked and dry- chances are you’ve been licking and biting your lips. Constantly licking you lips applies more moisture from your saliva which in turn dries your lips more. Your lips have the thinnest layers of skin which making them vulnerable to chapping and dehydration. Hydrating and moisturizing them requires an emollient lip balm for extended hydration. Another solution is to drink more water to replenish your body.

Not Cleaning Makeup Brushes
The worst thing you can do to your skin is use dirty makeup brushes. If you wear makeup daily, you need to wash your brushes every week since the oil from your skin transfers back onto your skin and can also contaminate your makeup.
