Skincare is a funny old thing. Sometimes you get it right and others you get it so wrong. We’ve all got our bad habits so I thought it’d be fun to list the mistakes we’ve all made (or make!) in today’s post. I would love to hear of any others you can think of below in the comments.
- copy some else’s routine in hope we’ll look like them
-not thoroughly wash our make up off
- we overload the skin with products
- refusing the wear SPF ‘in case it breaks us out’
- eating copious amount of sugar and then wondering why zits appear
- using the same products year round without switching to richer products for the winter
- not washing our pillowcases enough
- or our make up brushes
- opt for the cheap option vs. the more expensive that contains more gentle, good-for-skin ingredients
- we pop the pimples and pick the sores
- use harsh exfoliators too often
- not drinking enough water
- skipping moisturiser in hope for less oily skin
- cranking up the hot showers even though it’s we know our skin needs luke warm water
- constantly touch our face throughout the day
What are some bad skincare habits you’re guilty of?

Haha, yes! I overload with product sometimes, don’t wash my pillowcase enough and it’s taken me ages to realise using moisturiser won’t make me oiler/break out (as long as it’s a suitable one). I was scared of moisturising for years! LOL

SAME! IT took me forever to appreciate it x
haha some of these were scarily on point! I’m one of those people who are always cold so I literally have like 45 degree showers…definitely not helpful for my skin.

Haha oh I’m the same 100%
I am SO guilty for not drinking enough water…ooops. I do try though!

I do as well! It’s hard especially in the cooler months x
Drinking water is something I actually manage to do. But I squeeze non-existent spots and end up with horrid, red patchy skin. I know I shouldn’t, but I do!

You go girl for drinking enough what! Oh my god I’m SHOCKING at doing that as well :(
I’m so bad with washing my face everynight, although I am getting better!

I used to be the same.. I think not washing my face properly is one for me :)
OMG Yes! Not washing our pillow cases enough, Ha! That one is so me, I thought I was the only one - so guilty. Brushes too, actually, half of this post. There comes a time in everyone’s life when I just think we give up and stop caring. At least, I do ahah.

HAha I’m so glad it was well received.. I was worried I’d be the only one :P
Hahaha, yes to so many of these!!!
You should see your pillowcases under a blue light. You think they’re clean but….. the stains don’t come out!! The students get such a shock when they see it.

Ugh don’t even tell me that Kat so gross!
I said yep to way too many of these haha! I feel like one of mine is like the dipping of the finger into a jug when I should use an applicator of some sort & definitely pillow cases too! x

That’s another one for me too!
Not drinking enough water but indulging in to many sugary treats, touching my face too much and picking anything that looks intriguing, lol! are definitely my bad habits :) x

Lol so glad I’m not the only one!
I’m HORRIBLE for touching my face, it’s actually disgusting how often I catch myself doing it!! I’m pretty good otherwise though, I’d say constantly trying new things and switching up my routine is my other bad skincare habit - I just can’t stick to products!

I know! I’m the same x
I am guilty of soooo many of these!
Glad I’m not the only one :P
O goodness. I’m guilty of basically all of these - hot showers and touching my face throughout the day are easily my worst offenses… whoops! xo

Hot showers for me too!
Hit the nail on the head with these, Sarah! Hahaha. Guilty of a few, lately eating too much sugar, and touching my face (even though I know I shouldn’t). xx
Daniela | MissNewBeauty.net
I always catch myself doing it! Such a bad habit x
Oh my… basically everything! I’m glad to see that I’m not the only one, though!
Haha I think we’re all in the same boat whether we like to admit it or not :P
Ha, I’m definitely guilty of eating way too much sugar! And I really should wash my pillowcases more often too.
