Your good health is reflected by the condition of your skin. A naturally glowing face immediately indicates a good health. But sometimes when you try to improve your skin condition, you may be making some mistakes.
Rubbing Products into the Skin with too much Pressure
You see, applying pressure to rough skin care products into your skin can cause unnecessary pressure and stretching to your skin. This breaks down collagen of your skin and can cause wrinkles and sagging out of skin. Instead of rubbing hard, gently pat or tap the products into your skin. This method allows the cream or serum to be absorbed into your skin more deeply without causing any friction to the surface. This will take a little more time than the rubbing method, but it will protect your skin better.
Not Changing your Pillowcase Frequently
If pillowcases are not changed regularly, they accumulate the layer of dead skin cells, sweat, oil, and dust on the surface. Such dirty pillowcase can harbor bacteria, which can lead to skin allergies or infections. Therefore, it is essential to change your pillowcases at least 2-3 times a week to protect your facial skin and hair. Washing pillowcases in hot water will efficiently disinfect them.

Exfoliating too much or not at all
