Ever wish you had a time machine to go back in time and undo the skincare mistakes of your past? Cue a flashback to basking in the sun without a drop of sunscreen! Us too. The silver lining is that it's never too late to embark on a new, improved routine, so here's some of the most common skincare misconceptions - and how to avoid them in the future.
MISTAKE 1: APPLYING MOISTURISER DIRECTLY TO DRY SKIN
Think of your skin like a sponge - if it's slightly damp, products can better penetrate and absorb. The same rings true for your skin. So make sure before you lather on your moisturiser that you first apply a toner, serum or even just splash your face with some water. However you do it, just make sure your skin is damp as you apply a moisturiser, so it can really do its job.
One of our favourite thirst-quenching combos? Spritz skin morning and night with a hydrating mist like (1) La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water, $27.99, immediately followed by your moisturiser of choice.
MISTAKE 2: AVOIDING FACIAL OILS IF YOU HAVE ACNE OR OILY SKIN
