1. Sleeping with make-up on.
Always make sure to remove your make-up completely before you sleep at night. To be honest, I am one of those girls who is sometimes guilty of this. Especially when I get home late, I just feel so tired after a night out and all I want to do is to go straight to bed. What I do: I place a pack of make-up remover wipes on my side table or anywhere reachable near my bed. And during those lazy nights, instead of going all the way to the bathroom to wash my face I use make-up remover wipes to remove all my make-up before I sleep. But remember, it is not advisable to clean your face just with wipes, it's still important to wash your face every night before going to bed.

2. Over exfoliating or not exfoliating at all.
Over exfoliating is just as bad as not exfoliating at all. Exfoliating is important for the skin to get rid of the dead skin cells. Choose a product that works well on your skin and exfoliate once or twice a week.

3. Skipping moisturizer.
NEVER skip moisturizer after wash. After washing your face, natural oil from your skin is stripped off by soap and water, so it is important to use a moisturizer that is suitable for your skin type.

4. Forgetting to put on sunscreen everyday.
Regardless of the weather it is important to put sunscreen everyday. You'll never know how much damage the sun can do to your skin.

5. Using dirty make-up brushes.
We don't want to paint on a dirty canvas and if the canvas is clean it's useless if brushes used are dirty. Using dirty make-up brushes can irritate the skin, make sure to clean your brushes weekly.

6. Using expired products and/or make-up.
For those of you who doesn't know, yes make-up and other beauty products expire. Maybe I should make a seperate post about which product expire when. So make sure to double check all the products on your shelf and throw away the expired ones.

7. Eliminating the power of anti-aging products.
Anti-aging products can be used by anyone at any age. As long as you feel like you need it already, use it as early. May it be as early as your teen years or early 20's if you feel like using them, go use them. It will definitely help you slow down your aging process.
