Looking good is hard work and sometimes (ok, most times) you just can't be bothered. Here are 7 beauty crimes that we all have committed at some point in our lives, but wouldn't dare admit.

1. Not shaving your legs for days (ok, weeks)

Especially during winter - you love giving your razor an extended vacay. You will also find ingenious ways to keep wearing jeans/pants/tights/leggings until it's Thursday night and you want to wear your cute little dress which is when the world just seems unfair.

Bonus points if you have worn ripped jeans and only shaved the parts of your legs that are visible.

2. Popping pimples

Okay, this one might be the grossest one on the list - and also the most fun. There is some disturbing pleasure in knowing what's hiding inside that little sucker. And it's not just us - there are YouTube channels dedicated to pimple popping (Dr. Pimple Popper, anyone?).

However, you should know that by popping your pimples you risk scarring your skin permanently.

3. Falling asleep with your makeup on

"I want to cleanse, tone and moisturise once I am back from the party" said no one ever.

You know going to bed with makeup on is gross, we know it's gross, but it happens. And it will continue to happen.

4. Using dry shampoo more than actual shampoo

Seriously, what did people do before dry shampoo? Dry shampoo is LIFE, dry shampoo is BAE.

5. Doing ANYTHING to avoid cleaning your makeup brushes

Is there anything more boring than cleaning makeup brushes?

6. Repainting over chipped nail polish

You know how it goes. You're heading out the door and realise a few chips here and there - you are not going to take all of it off and paint your nails again, are you? This is just smart if you ask us.
