5 Skincare Habits that can ruin your skin

Do you have a 10-step skincare routine but still can't get clear skin? You might be doing something wrong! Check out the 5 common skincare habits that might be ruining your skin! 

 

1. Skipping Proper Makeup Removal

Confession time: I used to rely on an exfoliating scrub to take off my makeup every night. Crazy, right? It's a miracle my skin survived! 

The wakeup call? Beauty blogs! They preached the gospel of double cleansing and micellar water. I made the switch and oh, the difference! Soft, happy skin at last.

Pro tip: make sure your makeup brushes are clean which can keep your face clear of dirt and germs! Get our electric brush cleaner for quick cleaning.

2. Over-Exfoliating Obsession

Once upon a time, my teenage self believed daily rough scrubbing was the key to clear skin. It worked... until it didn't. Pores turned into craters, cheeks into a bumpy mess. Time for a U-turn!

Now, I exfoliate sensibly with a milder scrub and a toner routine. My skin is thanking me with a calm, bump-free glow. Lesson learned! 


3. Hot Water Havoc

Teenage logic: Hot water = clean, clear pores. Reality check: Hot water = parched, irritated skin. Doctors were right (who knew?). Lukewarm water is the new cool. 

Goodbye redness, hello hydration! Hot water's for laundry, not my face. Skin, cheers to the new era of gentle cleansing.

4. Foaming Cleansers Fiasco

Foamy cleansers were my jam for that squeaky-clean feel. Little did I know, they were drying out my skin and causing a red mess. Menthol and alcohol? Skin's worst enemies.

Enter gentle, hydrating cleansers. The devil's off my shelf, replaced with soothing goodness. Cheers to happy, balanced skin! 

 

5. Pimple Popping Predicament

Popping pimples seemed like a quick fix, but oh, the aftermath! Bigger, redder, angrier bumps. Lesson learned from the past: Hands off!

Now, it's all about gentle care. Clean hands, light pressure, and a trusty spot treatment. No more battles with my skin, just love and care.
