❌ 5 Common Skincare Routine Mistakes (And Their Shocking Effects on Your Skin)

Cleansing the skin is the foundation of any beauty routine, but unfortunately, it is the most frequently done incorrectly.

In this article, we reveal the top 5 common mistakes that harm your skin without you realizing it... some of which you make every day!

🧼 1. Wash your face with regular soap.

Commercial soaps are extremely drying and strip your skin of its natural oils, especially for sensitive or dry skin.

✅ Use a cleanser that is gentle and fragrance-free, and tailored to your skin type.

🔁 2. Washing your face more than twice a day

Excessive cleansing dries out the skin and stimulates it to produce more oil.

❗ Cleansing your face in the morning and evening is completely sufficient.

💧 3. Use hot water

Hot water expands pores and breaks down the natural moisture barrier.

💡 Always use lukewarm water, and cold water in the last step to tighten the skin.

🧽 4. Rubbing the skin vigorously or with a rough towel

Vigorous rubbing irritates the skin and weakens it in the long run.

👐 Gently pat your face dry with a soft, clean towel.

🛏️ 5. Not cleaning your face before bed

Leaving makeup or daily pollution on your face at night = clogged pores + pimples + permanent dullness.

✨ Make removing makeup and cleansing before bed a sacred habit.

💡 Advice from Maison Spa:

After cleansing your skin, don't forget to use a gentle toner and then a moisturizer that suits your skin type...and it's best to try a deep cleansing session at home at least once a month.
