Don't Make These 6 Scary Beauty Mistakes!

Hey beauty boos!

Are you tired of looking older than your years? 

Well, it's time to banish those beauty boo-boos that can prematurely age your skin with these 6 simple tips!

1) Don't Pick at Your Skin: This is a classic beauty mistake that can leave you with post-inflammatory marks. It's like inviting uninvited guests (acne scars) to your skin's Halloween party! Picking only makes matters worse, so resist the urge. Instead, try using warm compresses or a gentle spot treatment to soothe and heal blemishes.

2)  Take Off Your Makeup Before Bed: Leaving makeup on overnight is like letting a ghost haunt your pores. Your skin needs to regenerate while you sleep. Makeup can clog pores, leading to larger pores over time. So, before you curl up for a spooky movie marathon, make sure to cleanse your face thoroughly.

Pro tip: to keep a good nighttime routine in place, remove your makeup at least two hours before bed!

3)  Change Pillow Cases Regularly: Think of your pillowcase as a spooky spider web collecting dirt, oil, and bacteria. These nasties can contribute to breakouts. To keep your skin clear, change your pillowcases at least once a week. It's a simple trick for a big difference!

4)  Don't Product Hop: Switching skincare products too much may confuse your skin. Give your products time to work their magic before jumping ship. Consistency is key to achieving your desired results. Stick to your routine, and you'll be reaping the rewards in no time.

Pro tip: If you don't see any desired results in 6-12 months it may be time to re-evaluate your OTC skincare routine.

5)  Don't Always Trust DIY Skincare: While DIY skincare can sound fun and be tempting, it's like playing with a potion that might not have the desired effect. Influencers may have their own unique skin types and needs. What works for them might not be the best choice for you. Stick to reputable skincare brands and consult an esthetician or dermatologist for personalized advice.

Pro tip: Never use DIY sunscreen or actives unless you're a trained professional.

6)  Don't Over-Exfoliate: Exfoliation is like a spooky spell that can reveal smoother skin, but too much can be a witch's curse. As we age, our skin becomes drier, so over-exfoliating can strip away essential oils and leave it feeling parched. Aim for gentle exfoliation twice a week to avoid irritation.

Remember, by avoiding these common mistakes you'll be well on your way to a youthful and radiant complexion.

Wishing you a safe and fun Halloween! 

The more you know the more you glow!
