ACNE-PRONE SKIN: THE MOST COMMON MISTAKES TO AVOID

Having a bright and flawless skin does not depend only on skincare, but also on many small daily habits. Here are some common mistakes that can favor the appearance of blemishes.

Touching your face with dirty hands

Hands are constantly in contact with dirty surfaces and bacteria. Touching your face often can transfer these impurities to your skin, causing inflammation and pimples. Try to avoid this gesture and, if necessary, always wash your hands before touching your face.

Squeeze pimples

Squeezing pimples can worsen inflammation, spread bacteria, and leave scars. It's best to let them heal on their own or treat them with targeted products.

Sleeping little and badly

Quality sleep is essential for overall well-being. Sleeping less than 7-8 hours a night can also negatively affect your skin. During sleep, our body starts a series of repair and regeneration processes that directly affect the health of the skin.

Using too hot water to wash your face

Water that is too hot can irritate the skin and promote excessive sebum production. It is better to opt for lukewarm water, which helps maintain the balance of the skin without attacking it.

Don't clean your phone well

Your cell phone is a real breeding ground for bacteria. Placing it on your cheek can transfer dirt and germs directly to your skin. Clean your screen regularly with antibacterial wipes or specific cleaners.

Don't change your pillowcase often

At night, your pillow absorbs sebum, sweat, and hair product residue. A dirty pillowcase can worsen blemishes and irritation. Change it at least once or twice a week to reduce the accumulation of bacteria.

Using dirty or shared towels

Damp towels are the perfect environment for bacteria to grow. Always use a clean, personal face towel and change it frequently. Always remember to pat your face dry and not rub to avoid irritation.

Do not clean makeup brushes and sponges

Makeup brushes and sponges can accumulate bacteria, dust, and makeup residue. If used dirty, they can transfer impurities to the skin, causing more pimples. Wash them at least once a week with a gentle cleanser or neutral soap.

Overdoing sugar and dairy consumption

Some studies suggest that too much refined sugar and dairy can contribute to pimples. Try to balance your diet with fruits, vegetables, and antioxidant-rich foods for healthier skin.

Not drinking enough water

Hydration is essential for glowing, toxin-free skin. Maintain good hydration throughout the day to keep skin supple and help eliminate impurities.

In addition to good skincare, taking care of your skin means adopting healthy habits in your daily life. These tips not only help reduce impurities and improve skin health naturally, but also contribute to the overall well-being of the body.
