Who among us doesn’t want to have perfect, smooth skin? While we do everything we can to take proper care of our skin, some of our habits can actually work against it, making it look older than it is. We’ve listed these mistakes for you so you can learn to recognize and avoid them.

Not Removing Makeup Every Day

If you’re not careful enough when removing your makeup in the evening, chances are you will wake up with clogged pores and pimples. It’s crucial to remove every little bit of makeup with products that fit your skin type and then moisturize the skin.

Using Wrong Cleansing Products

Carefully choose the cleansing products according to your skin type and ph value of skin (around 5.5).

Not Using Toner

If the water on your sink is not perfect (and it never is), skipping toner after washing your face means all the minerals and chlorine from the water will stay on your face, damaging it day after day.

Exfoliating Too Often

If you exfoliate your skin too often, you can bring it more damage than good. Don’t overdo it – once a week is enough.

Avoiding Oils
