Hi + welcome!! My name is Brittany and family has been in the skin care business for over 30 years. This channel was made to educate about skin care, beauty and health in a fun and entertaining way!

Popping pimples at home. By popping your own pimples you are breaking skin and immediately putting dirt and oils into the open skin. This can cause infections and much, much larger issues, like more aggressive acne and scarring.
Sticking your finger in your skin care container - Since your fingers are usually your applicator, bacteria build up fast in bottles and in makeup sponges, then end up on your face. Use a qtip or opt for skin care products in airless containers, like Vasseur Skincare.

Touching your face throughout the day. More than likely you touch your face constantly throughout the day. Every time you do that, you're adding to the dirt, oil and bacteria that can get under your skin and cause problems.
Skipping moisturizer because your skin is too oily. In reality, if skin gets too dry, especially if you're already using acne treatments, which can be very drying, your acne can get worse.
Ignoring your diet -- dairy, sugar and processed foods in particular. Watch my video "why your skin care isn't working" to learn more.

Not wearing sunscreen daily & not reapplying . Your foundation is not enough

Overexfoliating or harshly exfolating -- Causes dryness, inflammation, destroying healthy cells, promoting skin discoloration, and stripping away healthy oils and bacteria.

Using cleansers with sulfates and alcohol SD-40, isopropyl alcohol - irritant for acne-prone and senstive skin types, leading to redness, dryness, and in some cases, brown spots and premature aging.

Taking a hot shower to "open the pores" Hot water dissolves your natural body oils and makes skin dry.

Using eye cream with mineral oil or petrolatum -- Since these ingredients are not absorbed easily, they sit on the surface and suffocate the skin.

I know diet is important but I know tons of people who eat junk all day all night 24/7 365 day a year with beautiful skin

It's great to find a beauty blogger who is really knowledgable instead of just reciting product claims. :) I think there has been some new dermatology research in the years since you published the video regarding mineral oil; it doesn't appear to be as occlusive as we used to think. I have oily skin so I probably won't be buying it any time soon, but it may be an option for others. The article was in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, and found it to be non-comedogenic.

its terrible how many of these tips we are supposed to believe are HELPFUL but are actually Thanks for shedding the light on these tips!!!

i just wanted to make the point that you do need about 20 minutes of unprotected sun exposure a day for good health and vitamin D. the sun always makes my skin look healthier and keeps me from getting outbreaks of psoriasis.
i'm also just wondering how petroleum based products clog your pores if they can't get absorbed into the pores. i heard the molecules were too big to fit in pores and therefore noncomedogenic!
good video though! i'm really guilty of the hot shower thing! i can't stop though :)

Ever since I have seen this Video, I have been applying skin creme with my middle finger for less pressure and using the circular motion around the eyes. Great

Thanks for these tips! I didn't know how much to exfoliate my skin before. I've been using a chemical exfoliant every night, but I will now limit to 3x a week.
