Raise your hand if you’ve ever done this before. Come on. Don’t be shy. We’ve all done it before. Going to bed with makeup on can clog pores and cause breakouts. Keep cleansing cloth wipes on hand for days when you’re too tired to wash your face.

Another no-no most of us have done at least once. Picking, popping, or squeezing a pimple can cause scaring and/or cause more breakouts. Also, it can make your pimple even worse.

We all know we’re suppose to, but yet we don’t. It’s important to apply sunblock with UVA and UVB protection everyday, even on cloudy days.

Put down the Clarisonic and scrubs and step away! Over-exfoliating can cause damage to your skin, dryness, inflammation, and can (gasp!) cause your skin to age quicker. It’s best to only exfoliate 2-3 times a week using mild scrubs and soft brush heads.

I used to think this until my doctor explained to me why it doesn’t count. You’re not applying enough product for it to provide protection. I’m sure you’re not going to slather on a thick layer of foundation or powder to get the protection that is needed. It’s best to apply sunblock on its own.

I have to admit to squeezing pimples
I know it is really bad, I try to leave them alone when I get them! I have never gone to bed without taking my make up off first. Even if I have rolled in at 4pm I have always take my make up off.
that’s good you have never gone to bed without taking your makeup off first. i wish i could say that. i wish i could say i don’t squeeze pimples either. i swear they are ask me to squeeze them!
i think i have 2 bad habits out of the 5. sad sad.

better than me! i committed all of them
The good thing is, you learn from mistakes. I haven’t gone to sleep with makeup on in years.
I’m determined to stop making this mistake: using toner. No matter how “mild”, these strip my skin, which causes more oil production. Better to use the right cleanser, exfoliate if necessary and always moisturize.

agreed!
gah i’m the one that pops…:(
I know you are. Tsk tsk :p
I’ve never gone to sleep with makeup on, I dunno what it is, but I can’t seem to. always have to take it off no matter how lazy/sleepy I feel. I have, however, popped many a’pimple though (._.); and I definitely don’t use sunblock everyday.. I don’t like the smell of it. I’ve never exfoliated too often but mainly because my skin is so sensitive to EVERYTHING. and I hadn’t thought about the last one, but that makes a lot of sense now.
