So avoid going in for body art, and such dangerous pursuits.
3.  Ties & shirt:While most men look dapper in their formals with a Body fitting shirt and a tight tie, this, as well, leads to may health issues. The tightness leads to constriction at the throat, and a general lack of ventilation. It can decrease proper blood circulation to the brain and head.

Foot arthritis is the most common issue of them all. Additionally, there will be back pain and knee aches due to the continuous tension that heels create.
2. Lipstick:It’s the first choice amongst girls always, but few know that it is meant for external body application only. Being in a sensitive area, girls tend to swallow a lot of it. The intake of these chemicals with which they are made of, create skin troubles. Again, lipsticks are made of “lead”, and applying a lot of it may leave your lips black and dry. So, try and go for the herbal lip gloss and natural lipsticks always.
3. Eye-liners:Well, eye liners, by virtue of being closer to one of your most sensitive body part, causes eye infections, and skin rashes. The best cure is to use only herbal or natural eye makeup products, and whenever such issues are reported, consult the doctor immediately.
4. False Nails:False nails can, partially, or completely damage the nail beds, giving rise to fungal infections, and, in certain cases, due to continuous use could lead to respiratory problems as well. The nail solution here is to obviously avoid fake nails.
5. Big Bags:A totally trendy style is to carry a big fat bag, instead of the normal small money bag, and purse. It gives a very urban look, and helps in storing a lot of stuff. But, research proves that a person should never carry a weight more than 10% his/her own body weight on their shoulders, for a longer duration. This majorly results in back aches, neck pains and shoulder pains. This can even lead to bone damage. Carry the big fat bags if you are so fond of it, but do not overload it with accessories.

These few pointers might be real kill joys, but remember never sacrifice health to fashion! As for the looking good part wear your attitude, and you will come out awesome looking.
