People follow a skincare routine to achieve clear and smooth skin. However, many individuals still experience acne despite their efforts. This could be due to certain everyday skincare habits that might be worsening your acne. Tap to know them!
Sharing Makeup
Sharing your makeup or makeup brushes can accumulate dirt, oil, and bacteria from others skin and transfer on yours when you use them, worsening your acne.
Switching Acne Treatment Every Week
Your acne may also worsen if you switch your acne treatment products every week, which may irritate your skin and lead to breakouts.
Washing Your Face Several Times
Washing your face too often can also cause acne by irritating the skin. Instead, wash your face two times a day, once when you wake up and once before bed.
Sleeping In Makeup
Sleeping without removing makeup can also worsen the acne, even if the makeup is non-comedogenic. Make sure to remove it to avoid breakouts.
Scrubbing Your Face While Cleaning
Many people may scrub their face while cleaning them, irritating the skin and causing acne. Instead, wash your face in a circular motion and pat your face dry.
Rubbing Sweat From Face
Rubbing sweat from your face during workout can irritate the skin and cause breakouts. Instead, use a clean towel and pat sweat from skin.
