0:00.0	Well, hello, hello, guys. You're listening to Beauty Bites with Dr. K., Secrets of a Plastic Surgeon and it's time for a
0:21.4	five minute Friday and I'm going to talk about bad beauty. What are the things that you're doing
0:29.2	that you should not be doing the beauty habits that are bad? We always talk about the good things.
0:34.5	This is a time to look and scrutinize pick apart the bad
0:38.1	behaviors and stop doing them so i know that you guys know you shouldn't sleep with your makeup on
0:44.4	we we know it's tiring it's exhausting coming home from parties shopping wedding dinner the
