#OVER-EXFOLIATING AND CLEANSING
It’s okay to keep exfoliating your skin from time to time, to keep it safe and healthy, but doing it regularly or more than once a day is going to result in dry skin only.
Exfoliation is advised to be done only twice or thrice in a week, not every day because it literally scrubs off the dead skin cells from your skin which can ultimately lead to dry outs.

In a similar way, over-cleansing strips off your skin’s essential and vital minerals and lead to the flaky and dry skin. Washing your face with water multiple times a day is okay, using a cleanser or face wash every time is not recommended.
Also, the most important thing to be kept in mind while shopping for your skincare products is that they must be compatible with your skin type, and so does the face cleansers or face washes.

Avoid using products like matte-fying foundations, primers, powder products and matte lipsticks as well. All these products will leave your skin even dryer taking away all the remaining moistures and leaving it unpleasant and itchy.

#BATHING WITH VERY HOT WATER
Hot water baths are obviously great and give you an out of the world pleasure and relaxing feel, but did you know that such high-temperature strips off the moistures and essential oils from your skin and leaves you with a dry and dehydrated skin.
