Washing Your Face Too Much

Cleansing your skin is a non-negotiable part of any skin-care routine, but going overboard can do more harm than good.

Skipping Daily Sunscreen

Sunscreen is essential in protecting your skin from harmful UV rays, preventing sunburn, premature ageing, and reducing the risk of skin cancer.

Sleeping with makeup on

If you neglect to wipe off the grime before bed, it can lead to irritation, clogged pores, breakouts and dull-looking skin.

Ditching moisturiser

Skipping moisturiser before bedtime is a mistake many people make.

Not Wiping Down Your Phone

Cellphones are a breeding ground for bacteria and can lead to pimples on the side of your face and around your chin and jawline.

Not getting enough sleep

Pulling an all-nighter might help you cram before a big exam or presentation, but it’s not doing your skin any favors.

Popping pimples

Picking at your skin or popping pimples can lead to scarring , inflammation, and the spread of bacteria.

Over-exfoliating your face

Over-exfoliating can disrupt the skin’s natural balance and strip away essential oils, leading to dryness and sensitivity.

Using hot water for cleansing
