5 Spooky Skincare "NO - NO's" That Haunt Your Glow!

Halloween is the season for scary movies and haunted houses, but your skincare routine shouldn't be one of them. 👀 Alot of people are guilty of these spooky little "no no's" without even realizing how much they're messing with their glow. Let's talk about the top 5 habits you want to avoid at all cost:

1. Sleeping in Makeup

   Sis, this is a big one. When you don't wash your makeup off, it mixes with oil and bacteria while you sleep. That means clogged pores, breakouts, and even early wrinkles. Basically, it's a nightmare for your skin.

   
   

Pro TIP: Double cleansing before bed. Start with an oil cleanser to melt everything off, then follow with a gentle foaming cleanser. Your skin will breathe again.

2. Skipping Sunscreen

   I know, I know! Sometimes it feels like sunscreen is only for the summer. But the truth? UV rays are out here all year long, even indoors through windows. And that's exactly what causes early aging and dark spots.

Pro TIP: Wear a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every single day. Trust me, it's the best anti-aging product you'll ever own.

3. DIY Microneedling & Harsh Treatments at Home

   This one gives me chills. 😱 TikTok and Youtube might make it look easy, but doing microneedling or strong chemical peels at home can seriously damage your skin. We've seen people end up with deep scars and inflamed skin.

Pro TIP: Leave the advanced treatments to us! We're trained to know exactly what your skin needs and how to do it safely. You can always book a complimentary skincare consultation with us and we can work together to reach your skin goals.

4. Over Exfoliating

   Exfoliating is great, but too much of it is like scratching your skin barrier raw. Redness, dryness, irritation and no thank you! If you've been scrubbing everyday or layering acids nonstop, your skin is probably screaming at you.

Pro TIP: Keep it to 1-2 times a week and make sure youre using the right exfoliant for your skin. Sometimes an enzymes or chemical exfoliant is gentler and more effective than a scrub.

5. Ignoring Hyperpigmentation

   Dark spots and uneven tone don't just go away on their own. If you ignore them, they can actually get darker and harder to treat over time (especially without sunscreen).

Pro TIP: Treat them early with ingredients like Vitamin C, Niacinamide, and professional peels. And of course, pair it with daily SPF for the best results.

TIME TO BREAK THE CURSE

The scariest part? All of these spooky skincare habits are totally preventable. With the right guidance, your skin can look and feel its best all year long.
