While hot water might feel relaxing, it can strip your skin of essential oils, leaving it dry and irritated. Opt for lukewarm water to cleanse and hydrate your skin without causing damage.

Squeezing pimples can push bacteria deeper into the skin, worsening the acne and potentially causing scars. Always resist the urge to pop pimples and let your skin heal naturally.

Many people skip sunscreen thinking they only need it on sunny days. UV rays can damage your skin even on cloudy days, leading to premature aging and skin damage.

Exfoliating removes dead skin cells, but too much can damage your skin’s protective barrier, causing irritation and dryness. Stick to exfoliating once or twice a week.

Strong products may seem like a quick fix for skin issues, but they can be too harsh and end up causing more harm. Choose gentle, hydrating products that suit your skin type.
