Our lives are built on habits. From our morning coffee on tea to the side of the bed we sleep on, our routines shape our days and our bodies. While the term “habit” often has a negative connotation, we can also create habits that are beneficial to our health and the health of our skin. From exercise and diet to product choices, here are ten habits that can help you maintain healthy, beautiful skin.

Quality ingredients make quality products. While There are few skincare regulations in the United States (and very few ingredients are banned), the European Union (EU) has stricter regulations and bans over 1,300 ingredients. That is why Sally B’s products are made with ingredients that align with EU regulations. We use organic and Fair Trade ingredients whenever they are available and don’t use harmful, artificial ingredients. It is important to read and understand the ingredients, but it can be overwhelming. Here are a few of the things you should always avoid: mineral oil, parabens, propylene glycol, and artificial fragrance. The Environmental Working Group is also a good resource.
