Skincare Mistakes

This post came into my mailbox from Bloglovin so I thought I'd share it to give a few tips about skincare mistakes.  I have shared the first three, look at the rest by clicking the link above.


 

Mistake No. 1: Not Cleaning Your Phone 

If you’re like me, you have your phone glued to you at all times. And even if you wash your hands a million times a day, your phone screen still picks up tons of bacteria. And then you make a phone call and all of that grossness goes right on to your face… It took a minute to get into the habit, but try to wipe your phone down every day with a disinfecting wipe, or even a makeup wipe! Your skin will thank you. Also, try to wash your pillowcases as often as possible!

Mistake No. 2: Sleeping with Makeup On 

At this point, there really is no excuse for forgetting to take off your makeup. But I get it, s#*t happens. I use the Glossier Milk Jelly Cleanser to get my makeup off, but a great trick a friend of mine uses is to keep some makeup remover wipes (like these) next to your bed! That way you see it right before you go to bed so you don’t forget, or if you had a little too much ~fun after a night out, the makeup wipes are right there waiting for you!

Mistake No. 3: Only Moisturizing at Night

High-school me was SO guilty of this. I would only moisturize my skin at night and not in the morning after I washed my face. I thought that too much moisture would mess up my makeup and make my face oily. Boy, was I wrong. Give yourself a few minutes to let the moisturizer set in before starting your makeup, and you’ll notice a difference I promise. PS: the Kate Somerville Goat Milk moisturizer is incredible!
