6. Neglecting to Remove Makeup Before Bed
Leaving makeup on overnight is a common mistake that can lead to clogged pores, irritation, and a dull complexion. Dermatologists emphasize that thorough makeup removal allows your skin to breathe and regenerate.
Gentle methods, such as double cleansing with an oil-based remover followed by a mild cleanser, are far more effective and less irritating than harsh scrubbing. Consistently removing makeup each night helps prevent breakouts and supports overall skin health. For more detailed advice and best practices, review Johns Hopkins Medicine’s guide on makeup removal.
