Bad habit: Not re-applying sunscreen
Good habit: It’s simply the best anti-ageing advice we can give you, so get adopt the habit of topping up throughout the day or set an alarm on your smartphone as a reminder. One shot glass is needed to cover your body. We love: Natural Instinct Invisible Natural Sunscreen, $15.95 (100g).
Bad habit: Brushing wet hair
Good habit: Young or old, hair is more fragile when it’s wet and if you brush it will create frizz and breakage. Use a comb or a brush designed to be used on wet or dry locks.
We love: Tangle Teezer, $29.95(so too Victoria Beckham and Emma Watson!)
Bad habit: Sleeping on your stomach
Good habit: Switch to sleeping on your side.
Sleeping on your stomach creates pressure and deepens wrinkles according to Radical Beauty, How to Transform Yourself from the Inside Out, Deepak Chopra and Kimberley Snyder, $37 (Penguin, Random House). A silk pillow slip will help keep skin looking smoother by morning and extend a blow dry too.

Good habit: Switch to a feather-light hydrating lotion that won’t make you feel sticky in the heat.

Bad habit: Too lazy to take off makeup
Good habit: keep your cleanser in the shower and cleanse and then cleanse again especially in summer to remove water resistant SPF sunscreen properly. Or try a micellar water which cleans thoroughly with just a makeup removing pad – no water necessary!
