Don’ts:

1. Tanning
Whether outdoors or in a sun bed, even if you don't burn, all tans are damaging to your skin and to your health. If you can't live without the glow, self-tanners are both cosmetically pleasing and safe.
2. Smoking
Smoking is one of the worst kinds of environmental damage there is because the burning toxins are literally in your face, up close and personal.
