Skincare is on the rise and it will continue to stay on the rise ever since people realized that makeup is temporary but skincare is what goes a long way. In recent years, the skincare trend has reached its peak and now, there are many products in the market that you need to keep your skin in the best shape possible but did you know that there might be some products lying in your cabinet that might age your skin rather than make it better? From certain techniques to ingredients in the skincare, they do the opposite of what skincare is intended for.

So, if you’re someone who is a skincare enthusiast then here are some skincare mistakes you might be making.

Let’s jump into the world of skincare

1. Skipping The Morning Wash

Believe it or not but some people prefer to not wash their faces in the morning. Either they are in a rush or they think that the oil accumulated on their face over the night is good for their skin. Whatever they may believe, skincare specialists say that not washing your face in the morning is a huge skincare mistake. Your skin needs to be cleaned of any excess serum or oil that it has produced overnight.

2. Exfoliating Too Much

Over a week, your skin comes into contact with various things like pollution, dust, oil that is created, and much more and that’s why exfoliation is recommended to clean up those clogged pores. However, if exfoliated too much, then you strip your skin of its natural moisture, making it more prone to acne and infections. Over-exfoliation can also lead to dried-out skin and may require professional help.

3. Using Washcloth

If you’ve read the above pointer about exfoliation then you’ll already know how harmful using a washcloth can be. It is rough in texture and calls for extreme exfoliation of your skin, which should be treated gently. Not only that but the washcloth is also home to hundreds and thousands of bacteria that are just waiting to come in contact with your skin.
