5 Skin Care Mistakes We're All Guilty Of Making!

Let’s face it, nobody is perfect, but, if we want our skin to be perfect, we have to pay close attention to our day-to-day habits. The smallest mistake can have a big impact on the health and appearance of our skin. Discover these common mistakes and work at correcting them.

#1: PRODUCT HOPPING
The number one mistake is going from product to product too often. You don’t give things a real chance to work. Once a product we’re using starts to become effective, we switch to another one. Remember that miracles don’t happen overnight. Subjecting your skin to too many different ingredients and variables can cause it to completely break out.
Find something that you like and stick with it.

#2: WEARING MAKEUP TO BED
No matter how beautiful a makeup looks during the day leaving it on when you head to bed is a major no-no. Washing your face at least once a day—twice if it’s oily—is a skin care necessity. Not removing your makeup is a recipe for a problem. You must keep your skin clean!

#3: GETTING TOUCHY.
Another mistake we all make—and may be making right now—is touching, rubbing, and resting your hands on your face. Between the door knobs, the handshakes, and all we come into contact with during the day, our hands are often covered in bacteria and germs which can lead to breakouts, blemishes, and other unwelcome skin concerns.

#4: DEHYDRATING YOUR SKIN WITH ASTRINGENTS.
Hydrated skin is happy skin! Another problem is this desire to dry out the skin with astringents, thinking this will help your pores.
You are dehydrating your skin. Use suitable toners instead!

#5: WAITING TO USE—OR NOT USING—MOISTURIZER
Do you wait awhile before moisturizing your skin after cleansing in the shower? Or worse, do you skip this skin care step all together? Big mistake. You must moisturize after you cleanse your skin. Moisturizers work best when your skin is already hydrated. So next time you step out of the shower, or finish washing your face at the sink, lightly pat dry and massage some moisturizer onto your skin.
Build your life! It requires your continuous input and creativity, it does not happen by chance, it happens because of your choices and actions!

The Origins of Beauty in Modern Days

For much of the Western world, notions of beauty date back to the ancient Greeks. Classicist David Konstan, says we owe our healthy and unhealthy notions of beauty in many cases to the artists and geniuses of Athens. The key to understanding it all ultimately comes down to a single word. For many years, Konstan says, scholars didn’t think that the Greeks had a specific concept of beauty. As far as they knew, there was only the all-purpose word kalós , which was often used to mean good. It wasn’t until Konstan began studying the similar and lesser-known word kallos that the real notion of Greek beauty became clear. “When God created the world, he looked at the world and he said it is good. In Greek, that's translated to the adjective kalós . God didn't mean it's beautiful, he meant it's a fine piece of work,” Konstan says. “Whereas kallos does, interestingly enough, have a corresponding word in Hebrew, which also refers very specifically to physical att...
