13. Forgetting to Remove Sunscreen Properly

Sunscreen protects your skin during the day, but leaving residue behind—especially from water-resistant formulas—can clog pores and contribute to breakouts. Simply rinsing with water may not be enough to fully remove these barriers. Experts recommend double cleansing: use an oil-based cleanser or micellar water first to break down sunscreen, then follow with a gentle face wash. This thorough approach ensures your skin is clean, clear, and ready for nighttime repair.
