Many people follow skincare routines that actually hurt their skin without realizing it. Over-exfoliating, harsh cleansers, and unsuitable products can cause irritation, dryness, and lasting damage.
Using items not made for your skin type is a common mistake. Strong acids, alcohol-based toners, and heavy fragrances often lead to sensitivity. Always read labels and test new products first.
Another major misstep is skipping sunscreen — even brief sun exposure can age your skin and cause dark spots. Daily SPF is non-negotiable.
And don’t forget the basics: stay hydrated, eat well, and follow dermatologist-approved care to keep your skin healthy and glowing.
