6 Common Skincare Mistakes We Should Not Be Doing in 2024
drying your face with a towel.
now before you all come and attack me just listen. this one is completely optional whether you want to or not, but if you know that you are not washing your towel every day, or not keeping it in a clean place, it can accumulate unwanted bacteria and germs leading to acne.
ALTERNATIVE: air dry, or use a cotton pad.
2. applying skincare in the wrong order
you have to apply your skincare in the correct order to maximize results. But, tons of videos online can help you find the correct order for skincare. If you don't apply it in the right order, it can lead to acne and skin problems.
3. you only need to apply sunscreen once daily.
you dont need to use tons of sunscreen every 2-3 hours. if you need to reapply sunscreen, you should use a sunscreen stick, so you don't have to use your fingers.
4. applying hyaluronic acid on dry skin.
guys. PLEASE STOP DOING THIS! all you are doing is damaging your skin, making it even more dry! When applying hyaluronic acid, you need to apply it on damp skin for perfect results.
ALTERNATIVE: apply ASAP after toner/essence or mist beforehand
5. scooping your products directly with your fingernails/fingers
im not saying you need to buy anything to stop doing this, but if you don't have a skincare scooper, be sure to wash your hands with soap & water before placing your fingers into your product. we touch a lot of stuff during the day, so those same germs that we touched, it should not go on our skin.
6. not washing your hands before skincare
not washing your hands before skincare is the worst thing you can do. there is no point in doing skincare if your going to apply dirty hands onto your skin. I'm pretty sure you should understand this one, but yea.
(hope these were helpful! :D)
