Bad habit No. 3: Sleeping on your face
Some sleeping positions are just more comfortable than others. Raise your hand if you sleep on your stomach or your side! If you do, well, try not to sleep like that tonight. When you sleep on your side and stomach, your face is pressed on your pillow for hours, which can contribute to lines and creases. If you can, try to start sleeping on your back: It's better for your skin.

Bad habit No. 4: Not catching enough Zzzs
Pulling an all nighter isn't necessarily something to be proud of: In fact, your skin actually kind of hates you for it. You see, your skin repairs and rebuilds itself when you sleep. So if you want to really rejuvenate and glow when you wake up, go for an undisturbed and blissful 8-hour sleep.

Bad habit No. 5: Chewing gum
It may seem like a harmless way to keep your breath fresh but it can actually contribute to wrinkles, especially on your upper lip and around your mouth.

Bad habit No. 6: Overindulging on sweets
Have a sweet tooth? You might want to cut down your sugar — if not for your overall health, then for your skin. Too much sugar can damage collagen and elastin which leads to wrinkling and even worse, sagging.

Bad habit No. 7: Smoking
Here's another reason to quit smoking: It can make you look old. Nicotine restricts the flow of your blood which affects the distribution of oxygen and nutrients to your skin. It also contains harmful chemicals that are pretty darn terrible for your skin. So, yeah: Keep your lungs and skin pretty — by quitting smoking!
