5 Common Skincare Mistakes You Should Know



In my years as a dermatologist serving the Tucson area, I’ve noticed the same skincare concerns popping up over and over again among patients. Here are some little mistakes we all make that can add up to significant problems for our skin if we don’t catch them early:
  • Not removing makeup before bed: Mom was right about this one. Keeping your makeup on overnight clogs pores, which can contribute to acne — no matter how old you are. Sleeping with eye makeup on can also cause eye irritation and even infection. Cleansing pads or towelettes can be quick fixes on those nights when you’re just too tired to stand at the sink, but they aren’t long-term substitutes for washing your face.
  • Not wearing sunglasses: Good-quality sunglasses can protect your eyes from the sun’s damaging rays, but did you know they can keep your skin beautiful, too? When our eyes are shielded from bright light, we squint less — and when we squint less, we’re not as likely to develop crow’s feet. Large lenses can protect the delicate skin around your eyes, too.
