5 Skincare Mistakes That Could Be Damaging Your Skin | ICEAGE BEAUTY Forestville 🚨
Are You Accidentally Sabotaging Your Skin?
Common Habits That Lead to Breakouts, Dullness, and Ageing
Sometimes it’s not your genes, products, or environment — it’s your routine. According to Cleveland Clinic, small daily mistakes can disrupt your skin barrier, increase inflammation, and accelerate ageing.
Mistake #1: Sleeping with Makeup or Using Only Wipes
Why It Hurts:
Leftover foundation and sunscreen clog pores and trap bacteria
Wipes often leave behind residue and don’t cleanse deeply enough
What To Do:
Use a double-cleanse method: oil-based remover + gentle foaming/cream cleanser
Mistake #2: Not Drinking Enough Water = Dehydrated Skin
Why It Hurts:
Dehydration makes fine lines more visible and skin dull
Skin overproduces oil to compensate for lack of internal moisture
What To Do:
Drink 8+ glasses of water daily
Support with DEP Deep Hydration Facial to replenish moisture at a cellular level
Mistake #3: Picking Pimples = Inflammation + Scarring
Why It Hurts:
Spreads bacteria deeper into the skin
Causes post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and potential permanent scars
What To Do:
Try Electroporation Treatments to calm inflammation, heal faster, and fade acne marks without trauma
Mistake #4: Constantly Looking Down at Your Phone
Why It Hurts:
Creates tension and creasing in neck and jaw area (tech neck)
Deepens smile lines and leads to early sagging
What To Do:
Lift your phone to eye level
Add Japanese Facial Sculpting (Kogao) to your routine for natural lifting and facial tension release
Mistake #5: Skipping SPF = Sun Damage and Premature Ageing
Why It Hurts:
UV rays degrade collagen, widen pores, and create pigmentation
Even indoor lighting and cloudy skies expose your skin to damage
What To Do:
Wear broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily
Reapply every 2 hours if outdoors or under direct light

FAQ: Common Skincare Mistake Questions
Q: Is drinking water really that important for skin?
A: Yes. Internal hydration helps maintain skin elasticity, and combined with external hydration, it supports a healthy barrier.
Q: Can one facial undo years of damage?
A: A single facial helps you start fresh, but consistent care with the right methods yields long-term results.
Q: What if I have sensitive skin?
A: All our facials are non-invasive, suitable for sensitive or sensitised skin types.
