Despite the flawless selfies we post on Instagram, deep down we all have some rather gross habits. Maybe you pick your toenails while watching TV, give up shaving your underarms in winter or wear the same underwear two days in a row because you just can’t be stuffed putting a load of washing on. They’re gross, probably unhygienic and you’d NEVER publicly admit to them, but hey, what happens in your bedroom stays in your bedroom right?
Usually. Until now.
To the horror of my friends office colleagues, I asked them to spill grossest beauty habits. Most started with “It’s absolutely gross/I’m probably the only one/I know it’s disgusting but…”. The reaction they got? “Me too!”
So to make you feel a little better about your own gross beauty habits, here are 10 which you’re probably doing right now… but would never admit to. (It’s ok, we won’t tell!) *Names have been changed to protect hygienic reputations.
1. Not shaving
It's no secret that the one benefit of cold weather is not having to bother with shaving your legs because they're covered up all the time. Why would you want to waste your precious morning minutes removing hair when you could be, you know, sleeping? But what we're not so vocal about is that we're guilty of it every other season too.

2. Chin hairs
The gross thing is WHY we're forced to get them in the first place. They serve no purpose. They look weird when they catch the light. And until we get home to tweezers, they FEEL so strange.
