From hot water to wet paper towels, 6 mistakes you should immediately avoid for

One of the biggest mistakes you can make is sleeping without removing your makeup. But there are also other mistakes that are often made that directly affect your facial skin.

Washing your face too often can age your skin. Don't wash your face more than twice a day, except when you're exercising.

Use the wrong products

Make sure you use the right products for washing your face. Products like soap can damage and dry out your skin, strip your skin of its natural oils, and cause irritation. Use products with soothing ingredients like green tea or aloe vera. If you have acne, use products that contain salicylic acid.

Incorrect use of peeling

You shouldn't exfoliate too often. It's recommended once a week. It helps remove dead cells and regenerate the skin as much as possible.

You don't wash your face before bed.

You can regularly remove your makeup before going to bed, but don't forget to wash your face after removing your makeup. Milk and many makeup removers will clean your face, but not as deeply as a cleansing lotion.

Use very hot water.

It's best to wash your face with as cold water as possible. Avoid hot water, especially in summer and winter, because hot water will only dry out your skin more.

Use wet wipes.

Makeup remover wipes are great for occasional use, like when you're going to the gym or in a hurry. But you shouldn't make them a routine.
