1. Not Washing Your Hands Before Cleansing Your Face
As simple as this tip sounds, using dirty hands to wash your face is very common. Think about it, your hands come in daily contact with so many germs and bacteria. By adding this simple step you can reduce the transfer of bacteria and make your cleansing process more effective.
2. Not Double Cleansing
Double cleansing is a two step face cleansing process that involves first cleaning your skin with an oil-based cleanser followed by a water-based cleanser. The benefits of double cleansing include breaking down excess oils and removing dirt collected throughout the day.
3. Lacking Consistency
It takes an average 28 day cycle to see results from skincare products. So be patient. That’s the amount of time it takes for your cells to turn over. Basically it takes at least a month for you to see results.
4. Insufficient Nutrients
Great skin starts in the kitchen. Your body is your receipt for how you treat it. There’s no amount of product that can give you the same benefits like good consistent nutrition. Try adding things to your diet like avocados, green tea, and omega-3 fatty acids.
5. Self Diagnosing
You may know your skin pretty well but a trained professional knows it even better. Your two best friends should be an esthetician and a dermatologist. The danger in self diagnosing, even the simplest conditions, is that it rarely leads to any real answers.
6. Expensive Doesn’t Mean Effective
Just because it's affordable doesn’t mean it’s poor quality and just because it’s expensive doesn't mean it’s great. With the help of a professional find out what works best for your skin. Don't be afraid to shop at your local beauty retailer and also a high end big-box store
