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!

Bad habit No. 8: Excessive drinking
There's nothing wrong with the occasional drink, of course. But it's important to remember that it's not always the best for your skin — it has a dehydrating effect and can even mess with your pores. It's also got a high sugar content, which once again, isn't the best for your skin's natural collagen production process.
