This is interesting because most of us don't even think about it. When we get up in the morning, we just just do what we've always done. But you do have to be careful, you don't want to cause long term damage to your hair or skin, just by going about your everyday routine..
Eyelash
Curler: 3 seconds per section
We’ve
all had the unfortunate experience of over-curling our eyelashes to the point
where the curl is more of a kink–not cute. The trick to avoiding crimped lashes
is to hold the curler in place for no longer than 3 seconds. If you use our
3-step method to curl your eyelashes, you can press down for up to three
seconds at each point.
Facial Cleansing Brush: 1 Minute
Personally, I have become my own victim on this one. Electric cleansing brushes are a lot more powerful than manual cleansing with your hands. It can be tempting to over do it because you are going for the baby soft to the touch texture, but it can cause long term damage if done too frequently. Your skin can become dry and more susceptible to damage because you are ridding it of its natural oils it uses to protect itself.
Curling
Iron: 3-7 seconds depending on hair type
Its
easy to burn hair with these hot tools, especially if they are part of your
everyday routine. Try taking a day of two off once a week. Your hair will be
shinier, healthier, and have less split ends.
Straightener: a few seconds per section
The same thing applies with straightening, don't ever do it, you'll just end up with more hair damage. Is it really worth having nice hair for a day if it'll cause permanent split ends? Try adding a heat protectant daily to reduce damage.
As tempting as it can be to tack on a few extra seconds here and there, you really aren't benefiting from it. In fact your only hurting yourself. Burnt hair and dried out skin aren't worth it. You'll still receive the same benefits without the extra time, trust me.
