Common Skincare Mistakes: What You Should Avoid We all know that taking care of our skin is extremely important. But sometimes, even with the best of intentions, we can make some mistakes that can be detrimental to our skin's health. Today we want to talk about a few common skincare mistakes that you should avoid if you want to maintain a healthy, glowing complexion. 1. Not moisturizing One of the most common and easily avoidable skincare mistakes is to not moisturize. A good moisturizer will keep your skin hydrated, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and soothing the skin. If you’re not sure what moisturizer is right for you, a dermatologist or aesthetician can help you find the perfect one! 2. Over-exfoliating Exfoliating is an important part of any skincare routine, but it can be easy to over-exfoliate. Just like other aspects of a skincare routine, it’s best to find an exfoliating product or frequency that works best for you and stick to it. Over-exfoliating can strip your skin of its natural oils and cause irritation, leaving your skin red and uncomfortable. 3. Not wearing sunscreen We all know that sunscreen is an absolute must, but yet many people still forget to apply it on a regular basis. An SPF of at least 30, applied 15 minutes before sun exposure, is essential for protecting your skin from harsh UV rays and preventing premature aging and skin damage. 4. Popping pimples Although it can be tempting to pop a pimple, it’s never a good idea. Popping pimples can lead to skin infections, encourage bacteria to spread, and even cause scarring. Instead, opt for a spot treatment or a dermatologist appointment to address any skin concerns. 5. Neglecting your neck and chest It’s easy to forget about these areas, but if you’re wanting to get the most out of your skincare routine, it’s important to treat your neck and chest just like you would your face. This includes cleansing, moisturizing, and exfoliating. At Blended Skin, we specialize in skincare and help our clients achieve healthy, glowing skin.
