 | | 3 / 10 2. Over cleansing
On the flip side, being too vigorous with your cleansing routine can do harm than good. While it is important to adopt a good skincare regime, Thomas-Minns is keen to point out that over-cleansing can damage the delicate protective lipid barrier that is supposed to prevent bacterial growth and limit breakouts. Over cleansing can also encourage your skin to produce more oil -- a vicious cycle which can lead to more pimples.
Spot-busting tip: Trade harsh soap-based cleansers for gentler ones which won't strip your skin of its natural moisture, and refrain from washing your face more than 2 to 3 times a day.
