Breaking these habits will help you to maintain healthy, beautiful, and youthful skin: 1) Working out with makeup on can cause a buildup of excess oil and a higher risk of clogged pores. Sweating opens up pores and when there’s a layer of makeup on top of it, combined with dirt and bacteria, it can lead to breakouts. 2) Forgetting your neck, chest, and hands. The skin on your neck, chest, and hands is more delicate. Without sebaceous glands it cant protect itself from environmental factors. Any anti-aging product you use on your face should also be used on your neck and chest. Splurge yourself, apply essential oils on your hands before going to bed. 3) Over-exfoliating. Exfoliation is a wonderful thing for your skin but too much of a good thing is definitely bad. Over-exfoliating can lead to sensitive, irritated, flaking skin. This makes putting on makeup a nightmare. Exfoliating at home is best done no more than a couple of times a week using a scrub (with smooth beads and not rough ground shells) or a gentle enzyme or acid peel. 4) Picking pimples. It can lead to scarring and if aggressive enough you will end up with pock marks or hyperpigmentation (dark spots) 5) Diet. You are what you eat! You’d be surprised how much impact dairy has on the skin. Inflammation-causing dairy can wreak havoc on cystic acne sufferers. Your best bet: unsweetend almond milk. 6) Watch the blow-drier. Extreme heat from the blow-drier can leave you with broken capillaries, which can become permanently broken over time. 7) Sleeping in makeup. No matter how tired we are after a long day, it is really important to take the time to care for your skin at night. If you have an acne / oily skin, it is imperative to wash away all that excess oil that your skin produced during the day – not to mention all the makeup that was applied and worn during the day which can lead to clogged pores. You also want to wash away all of the pollutants that skin is exposed to during the day – this is especially important to maintaining youthful skin. 8) Resting your chin on your hand over time leads to sagging skin, fine lines and wrinkles. Practice good posture and avoid the chin rest. 9) Rubbing your eyes can lead to fine lines around the eye area. Remove eye makeup by pressing gently on the eye with a cotton pad soaked in eye makeup remover. Avoid rubbing itchy, tired eyes and instead use eye drops to alleviate the dryness.
