Many a times, we are on the lookout for the perfect skincare<\/a> routine. From a holy grail cleanser to a great moisturizer, the path towards achieving flawless skin seems to be a tedious one. Or is it not?<\/p>

You may be using a product<\/a> raved by many but it might be your daily skincare habits which are sabotaging your efforts. Take a moment to think about the first thing you do. When it comes to washing your face, what temperature of water is being used? Hot, warm or cold? We will not recommend using hot water as that may be harsh for your skin and causes your blood vessels to constrict resulting in redness.<\/p>

Speaking of redness, another skincare habit to break is to avoid popping your zits. No matter how inflamed or tempting it is to pop that blemish<\/a>, keep your fingers away from that spot. Simply cleanse the area and apply a zit sticker or medication to help speed up the process of healing.<\/p>

Head over to the gallery up top for a roundup of 5 more skincare habits to break, starting today.<\/p>
