1. Getting Makeup Done
A user confessed that she no longer visits expensive makeup artists to get her makeup done. Instead, she learned how to do it herself at home. This is a habit I also stopped as I realized I could do my own makeup and don't have to dig deep into my purse to visit a professional.
2. Buying Eyelash Serum
"It just doesn't work. There's no need to buy this," says an online user. Other women agreed by saying eyelash serum is expensive, doesn't work for their needs, and expires even when in the refrigerator. Those who previously used eyelash serum reported that they didn't see any significant growth on their eyelashes after months of use.
3. Bikini Waxing
Online members claimed they stopped getting bikini waxes because it's no longer appealing. This trend was prevalent in the early 2000s, but its popularity declined. Other women reported cellulitis infections after constant use of the beauty treatment.
4. Wearing Face Masks
Face masks are a beauty regimen that women seem to outgrow at one point or another. One says, "I enjoyed wearing face masks for a long time, but I just stopped. There's no specific reason, but it's not for me anymore." With others upvoting this sentiment, it's clear that face masks are replaceable with moisturizers and face washes that are constantly evolving. With a good cleanser, wash, and moisturizer, your face will be glowing.
5. Spray Tanning
"I'm not into spray tanning anymore. I would turn all the time, but it did nothing for me, so I stopped." adds a member of the online platform. Granted, we all love a good tan, but going through the tanning process seems daunting and tiring for many women, so they gave up the habit entirely.
6. Coloring Hair
While it was a beauty trend once upon a time, coloring hair is a habit that we don't hear of much these days. In this "hair wig era," it's easier to buy a colored wig than to dye your hair. Realistically, hair color irritates the scalp and leaves irreparable damage. For most, it was stressful financially, and one had to worry about roots constantly.
7. Threading Eyebrows
A simple eyebrow is quick and painless, leaving your brows looking exactly how you want them to. However, threading eyebrows is a habit that women give up because it is time-consuming and painful. Some admitted they were too lazy to do it, and others wondered why they started doing it in the first place.
8. Wearing Foundation
Finding a foundation that flawlessly matches your skin tone is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Often, we settle for a foundation that's one shade lighter or, for some who prefer it, a little darker. No wonder women found it easy to swap foundation for a good concealer. A beautician commented, "Concealer could be a good replacement for foundation. It's light, goes with your skin, and easy to put on."
9. Getting Manicures
From personal experience, manicures nearly ruined my nails, and it took months of treatment to regain strength and length. While it's a beauty habit I enjoy, it's one I was willing to give up for the greater good of my nails. Plus, it's not like my nails look shabby. I still make the most of DIY nail polish.
10. Wearing Fake Lashes
Long lashes give a dramatic look, but despite this, they make the eyes look hooded and beady. While many women thought they added a layer of beauty over the years, today, most of them have a different opinion and opt to invest in quality mascara.
One comment that made me giggle was when a female user said the one habit she gladly gave up was shaving her legs and that she hasn't done it for over a decade. Her reason? She wears long pants anyway!
