10 Hour Later and Still With The Sheet Mask
On a day your skin is just feeling cruddy and needs a pick me up a sheet mask is a wonderful idea. Just slap on that mask and relax for the xxx amount of minutes the direction tells you to. When it's time for you to take your mask off, you might be tempted to leave it on a bit longer so your skin could soak it in all that goodness, but don't do that. Just don't! Your skin will be harmed in the processed rather than in soaking the benefit. The consequences of leaving a sheet mask on for too long is your face will become drier and would not have the ability to actually absorbed in any of the product.  Instead, you could try using a sheet mask each day as part of your skin routine. If you feel like you're wasting product since there is a lot of product left over, fold the sheet mask and place it around your neck for a few minutes.  The neck is actually very important and is one of the first sign of aging. 

Hair Product For Hair Only
Have you ever gotten any acne around the rims of your hairline? You might have accidentally made your skin come in contact with hair products such as shampoo and conditioners or hair spray.  I know that this a little hard to control or at least it is for me considering I'm a bit careless when it comes to washing my hair, it bests to keep this in the back of your mind when you use any hair product and make sure to keep it near the scalp rather than your face.

Over Cleansing
As the day progresses, your skin is feeling oily, so you washed your face. 3 hours later, you re-washed your face for the same reason and repeat this process every now and so. Cleansing your face is a mean to remove the dirt and the oily that your skin holds in, but shouldn't be abused. Over cleansing can strip the natural oil in your skin that is meant to keep your skin moisturized throughout the day and make your skin drier and within the process more oily as our skin can over produce oils in order to moisturize our skin.

Makeup til you sleep
Have you ever heard that you shouldn't wear makeup because it would cause breakouts? This is the reason why. People sometimes forget that makeup can clog the pores which will cause to skin issue such as acne. You should always cleanse your face to remove your makeup and not rely on simply makeup removal. They are a helpful tool to use when removing stubborn makeup, but often they don't do the best job and leave a residue.



Oil To Dry
A common mistake with people suffering from oily skin is skipping one crucial step in skincare which is to moisturize. It's important to apply moisturizer when you have oily skin. There's a reason why your skin over produces oil. It is because it's trying to make up for the lack of moisture.

No Sunscreen
People may skip on the sunscreen when they're just laying around in the office for most of the day, but you need to apply sunscreen. The sun's ray peeps through the windows and makes its way to your skin.Also, I'm sure you're not going to keep shelter in a building all day and will eventually walk outside. You might as well apply sunscreen at the start.

Alcohol In Toner
Toner is an essential step in your skincare especially when you have a cleanser that is stripping. It brings back the moisture and provides the skin with needed antioxidants. However, a certain ingredient in your skincare could just mess up your skin and dry it out. The ingredient is alcohol. This is why you should never have alcohol in any of your skincare ingredients especially toner which is where I find it most commonly in.

This was some things that I  felt like people were commonly doing and I hoped this help you in any way!
