If there are any skincare commandments then this tops them all. Always remove your makeup before you go to sleep. Leaving makeup on face before sleeping is like giving invitation to multiple skin problems. Make up tends to clog all the pores in skin and cause breakouts. It causes rashes, inflammation and make skin hyper sensitive. Use makeup removers or your regular moisturiser to get rid of all makeup then wash your face properly and apply moisturiser before you hit your bed.

It seems that most of us have a common habit of fidgeting without skin. Every time there is some flakey skin, pimple, acne or bruise; we tend to fidget with it continuously and it results in skin peeling out and scar. No matter how hard it is, it is important to get rid of this habit. Allow all the breakouts to settle by themselves and dry skin to peel off by its own. Every time you touch or fidget with it, you tend to transfer the germs and bacteria from your hand to your face which can be even more harmful for your skin.
