Over exfoliating the skin:
Exfoliating is good for the skin, but like everything else,
too much of it is bad. As much as we want to remove
dead cells, let’s also understand how delicate the skin is
and why too much scrubbing might cause a tear that’ll
end up scarring the skin. So find the right way and let
your skin be thankful for that!
Not getting enough sleep:
As adults, getting the recommended
8-hour sleep feels like a stretch
because of our busy schedule; but
not getting enough sleep will not
only affect your skin due to stress
that might lead to wrinkles, it will
also affect your overall health.

Constantly touching
your face:
During the early stages of COVID-19, we
regularly heard this message; don’t touch
your face. This is not just a COVID-19
prevention instruction. It can also affect
our skincare routine as our hands come
in contact with different germs that
might find its way to our faces.
It is no news that appearance is everything, and for
that reason, people are making an effort to ensure they
look flawless either with makeup or other cosmetic
products. But in trying to cover up these flaws, there
are some basic things we have to take care of to ensure
even the covered skin gets the quality attention it
deserves. We can achieve this by making minor but
vital adjustments in our lifestyles.
Not Separating Face
And Body Towel:
This is a mistake
many of us make.
Your face should
have its separate
sheet due to how
delicate it is co
mpared to other
parts of your body.

Not washing your
pillowcase & bed sheet
frequently:
One skincare mistake we make is waiting
for our pillowcase and bed sheet to
be visibly dirty before sending to the
laundry. This is wrong. Wash it as often
as you possibly can to reduce your contact
with germs.
