Kobi's Bad Skin Habbits, Stop it!

Helloo! It's Kobi


    Since we've been talking about turning our skin around in the last few posts I started thinking about all the bad habits I have that are bad for my skin.

Generally, I try to be good but it's so hard to remember sometimes.

My Bad Skin Habbits

1. I don't drink enough water each day. 

Purportedly, I'm supposed to drink an once of water for every pound I weigh daily. This is hard to do because I'm too lazy.

2. Not getting enough sleep. 

Sleep deprivation can cause a lot of damage to your skin and cause your existing skin problems to worsen.  The number one cause of me not sleeping enough is my laptop, specifically netflix.

3. Unhealthy eating.

Overeating is my biggest sin! I have zero self control when it comes to food and it's starting to get serious. Things like too much sodium, sugar, dairy and alcohol do absolutely horrid things to my face and I've known this for a while but food makes me so happy. I'll need a complete lifestyle change to cut this out.

4. Over touching breakouts.

I need to stop touching and picking at the acne on my face. It's not helping.  It's making things worse. I knew this very well also but it's just reflex sometimes. When you see a foreign object on your face you automatically reach to finger it as a sort of reconnaissance mission to figure out how to properly attack the crap out of it.

5. Not getting enough (any) exercise.

There are tons of excellent reasons why I should work out regularly but I ignore all of them. Exercise is not only good for the mind and body but also for the benefit of your skin! I have no excuse except that I'm reallllly lazy.

6. Bad Stress Management

Stress is bad for your health and studies have shown that it can contribute to all kinds of acceleration in aging. So basically I need to just chill out sometimes.

So these are some things I'm going to have to keep in mind and work on in my journey to better skincare. There are so many variables to getting and keeping healthy skin that I didn't think about before. I thought this was gonna be easy but clearly I'm gonna need a bit more dedication.
