We all want that flawless radiant skin. However, there are a few habits we might unknowingly be associated with bringing harm to the overall health of our skin. Let's explore such habits-
Overwashing face: Overwashing can cause skin damage by removing natural oils and disrupting the skin’s moisture content. Hence, try to wash your face not more than two times.
Lack of sleep: A good night's sleep brightens your skin tone. Lack of adequate sleep leads to premature ageing and may cause other skin-related issues. Try to get a sleep of at least 7-8 hours.
Drinking less water: Lack of water intake reduces skin elasticity making it dry and rough. So, drink plenty of water or consume high water-content fruits like cucumber and watermelons.
Not cleaning your face before sleep: Sleeping with makeup on and not cleaning your face properly can clog the pores contributing to dull skin and breakouts. So, cleanse your face before going to bed to get rid of any impurities.
Not moisturizing regularly: Skipping moisturizing brings flakiness, dryness, and accumulation of oils on the face. Hence pick a moisture that suits your skin type better and apply it often.
Popping pimples: Popping pimples and picking at the skin lead to rashes, and scarring, and spreads bacteria. So, it's better to leave your annoying pimples alone and heal them naturally.
Over-exfoliating or not exfoliating at all: Over-exfoliating leaves skin dry and damaged. Similarly, not exfoliating is bad for skin health accumulating dirt and oil.
Not taking care of the neck and lower neckline: Your neck skin is delicate and thin where the first ageing signs first appear. Hence expand your skin care routine to the neck and neckline by applying sunscreen and moisturizer.
Cleansing with hot water: The use of hot water cleans natural oil leaving the skin irritated and dry. You can use lukewarm water to wash your face.
Using harsh skin care products: Some of the skincare products have harmful ingredients like alcohol and sulfates that cause irritation and damage to the skin. Hence opt for natural skin care products.
