2. Skipping moisturizer

[{"selector":"#anim-3474d9d5-b9d1-4b40-91a1-2aa59c2b5028","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-47c495f4-f869-4f77-a6b7-8bfb95cb9780","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-114.55696%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-350948f9-d745-4f37-824b-45fc9d43b90a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":50,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5280bded-3798-418e-8577-e5ef12909cbb","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(1921.05277%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":50,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Dry skin Since dry skin requires hydration, missing moisturizer can cause the skin to feel dry and flaky. Utilize a rich, nourishing moisturizer.

3. Using harsh exfoliants

[{"selector":"#anim-35e6f7ee-cd63-409f-a40a-bfd7be7a6edc","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-153e26ee-64d2-403a-8eed-6d177c022dec","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-114.55696%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-230e8ce8-aad8-4b39-affb-0a580ec23bec","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":50,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ebb71852-1fda-4467-a685-0c21359aad3e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(1921.05277%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":50,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Dry skin Rough or abrasive exfoliants can irritate dry skin further. Choose chemical or physical exfoliants that effectively remove dead skin.

1. Over-washing

2. Skipping moisturizer

[{"selector":"#anim-39fa0b90-6fa2-4506-a302-b1a3cdbc0b11","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0d150fd2-0e55-4821-8459-b551a8188fe0","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-114.55696%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-40adcc20-27d1-4e7b-b5d8-5b092f799d5f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":50,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e76b22c6-318a-4a44-90d9-f33cfd854c03","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(1921.05277%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":50,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Oily Skin Oily skin still requires hydration, and omitting moisturizer can result in increased oil production.

3. Using harsh, drying products

[{"selector":"#anim-88374479-c714-45b9-8414-033db6d825e4","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4130903e-0033-41ba-a841-eeb29e726c12","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-114.55696%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-56c3d429-566b-4bc4-9022-12431afec09f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":50,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-474523f7-ef55-430d-9d81-14605e37b736","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(1921.05277%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":50,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Oily Skin Alcohol-based toners and products can strip the skin excessively and stimulate sebum production. Choose oil-regulating products that are gentle.

1. Neglecting different areas
