Maintaining healthy, youthful-looking skin requires a rigorous skincare regimen and a well-balanced lifestyle. There are many things you can do to improve your skin health, but there are also a number of mistakes people can make that can actually achieve the opposite effect. These mistakes include: • Washing your face with (too) hot water • Not removing all makeup residue from skin • Using the wrong cleanser • Over-scrubbing your skin • Using an astringent toner These are only a few of the common mistakes people make when caring for their skin that can actually lead to older-looking skin. It is important to avoid these in your own skincare regimen and consult the help of a skincare professional on a regular basis.
