10 Skincare Habits to Avoid in 2025
Your skin deserves the best care, so let’s leave these bad habits behind!
1. Skipping Sunscreen
Sunscreen is non-negotiable! Protect your skin from aging and harmful UV damage by applying a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher daily—rain or shine.
2. Neglecting the Neck and Décolletage
Skincare doesn’t stop at your face. Extend your routine to your neck and chest, using gentle upward strokes and, of course, sunscreen to keep these areas youthful.
3. Over-Exfoliating
Too much exfoliation can damage your skin barrier. Limit exfoliating to 1-2 times a week and stick to gentle products. Listen to your skin—if it’s irritated, take a break!
4. Using the Same Products Year-Round
Your skin’s needs change with the seasons. Switch to lighter formulas in the summer and more hydrating products in the winter to keep your skin balanced.
5. Not Prioritizing Sleep
Beauty sleep is real! Aim for 7-9 hours of consistent rest each night, and consider a silk pillowcase to reduce creases and friction.
6. Relying Solely on Makeup Wipes
Makeup wipes are for emergencies only—they can leave residue behind. Use a gentle cleanser and follow with a toner for a thorough clean.
7. Ignoring Eye Cream
The delicate skin around your eyes deserves special care. Incorporate a hydrating eye cream to reduce fine lines and puffiness.
8. Skipping Moisturizer
Every skin type needs hydration. Choose a moisturizer that suits your skin and make it a daily staple to avoid dryness or excessive oil production.
9. Skipping Regular Dermatologist Visits
Your dermatologist is your skin’s ally. Schedule at least one visit a year to address concerns and catch issues early.
10. Holding Onto Old Products
Expired products can irritate your skin. Check expiration dates regularly and toss anything that’s past its prime.
Keep your skincare routine fresh and your skin glowing by ditching these habits in 2025!
