Your skin needs care, attention and pampering. I’m sure you too have bought a product that is not suitable for your needs and exfoliated your skin more than you should. Here is a list of skincare mistakes to avoid in this new year.
Whether you do skincare for “duty” or for pure pleasure and act of self-love, the cosmetics industry has made great strides in recent years. Creams, serums, scrubs and so many steps, what a mess!
If you want healthier skin in 2024, you should definitely avoid these four skincare mistakes.
Don’t wear sunscreen
Maybe you do skincare perfectly and then don’t protect your skin with sunscreen. Is there a worse mistake?

This is absolutely the mistake we must avoid. Sleeping with makeup on can clog pores, inflame the skin barrier, dry out the skin, and aggravate acne (if we suffer from it).
Use a
gentle cleanser
and if you really get too sleepy and can’t do the full skincare, go to sleep. One evening will not ruin your efforts.
P.S. Remember to change the pillowcases twice a week!
Follow all skincare trends
The advent of beauty-influencers and “skinfluencers” has totally disrupted the market and our consumer habits, raising our awareness of skin care. Unfortunately, skincare trends do not always fit our needs, and sometimes they are even a little strange. Remember when TikTok was full of girls drinking chlorophyll?
I’m sure you also wanted to buy a product just because it was viral. Here, among the skicare mistakes to avoid at all costs is following all the trends we see on social.
Constantly changing products can damage your skin barrier, and mixing too many actives can irritate your skin. Prefer a few quality products and listen to your needs.
