For years, people have floated the idea that entering into a committed relationship can lead to a decline in your overall appearance. Some of this may have to do with the honeymoon stage of a relationship. This is when you go out to dinner often or frequently make decadent home-cooked meals together, which can lead to weight gain or skin breakouts over time. However, there is also a psychological element to this change. According to Healthline, researchers found that once you are relieved of the pressure to find a partner, there is less motivation to keep up with an attractive appearance.
Interestingly, there are actually other ideas floating around social media that help to explain a seemingly immediate decline in your appearance. It all centers around going to stay at your boyfriend's house. While it's easy to assume that your boyfriend just doesn't have the same cleanliness standards as you, it may also have to do with the change in your routine.
It can be hard enough to squeeze in self-care during a busy work week, and when you're spending time with your boyfriend, you're even less likely to keep up with it. It's also difficult to pack all of your normal essentials in an overnight bag. So, instead of your multi-step skincare routine and custom hair care products, you might just sleep in your makeup and use your boyfriend's shampoo in the morning, which can leave you with dry skin and greasy hair.
