However, soap does not remove makeup residues, it only dries your skin making look dehydrated. If you are doing this, then it’s time for you to update your beauty routine.

You must always remove your day makeup before going to sleep or you will end up losing that natural look and shine on your face. There are plenty of products you can choose from to do this such as gel, lotions, cleansing milk, wipes, etc.

3) Using the same facial moisturizer for day and night.
Most girls assume that any facial moisturizer serves the same purpose on your skin when in fact this is completely untrue. Facial moisturizers contain solar filters that help protect you skin from the sun. Besides, these also help to keep a better finish once you apply your makeup. As for night moisturizers, these take care of more specific issues such as cell renewal.

4) Excess exfoliation
Keep in mind that exfoliating your skin excessively will bring awful consequences such as drying and aging your skin rapidly. If you have sensitive skin, only exfoliate twice per week.

5) Changing products constantly
This is a common mistake, especially if you are just starting to wear makeup and trying all new trends on your skin. Keep in mind you have to use the same products for at least two months in order to see results. Try to be patient and let your skin get used to the product you are applying.
