Surprisingly, everyone is guilty of doing this...

Skincare can be something that is overlooked in a person's day-to-day routine. 

And yet it is something that holds so much of weight in one's appearance. Just washing and moisturising your skin is so integral in your overall skin care. 

But just as much as you get people who do not prioritise a good skin buff and massage, there are those that try everything - and that's not always a good thing...

"Hannah English, from Sydney, said there are countless bad things she sees women do with their beauty regimes, including using loofahs which are 'full of dirt', spraying perfume on your neck and chest and mixing your sunscreen with makeup." (Daily Mail)

She highlighted five things that people practice in their skincare regimes that are actually not good for the skin. 

Some of the things include spraying perfume on your neck, using loofahs to bath, and mixing your sunscreen with your moisturiser.

You see, that's the thing about beauty regimens, not all the things you see are good for you. We were surprised and actually a bit traumatised by the loofah one. 

How ironic that something that is meant to clean your skin can actually cause it harm?! 

We were really grateful for this comment from the post. 

grooveisintheheart: "If you like the scrubbiness of a loofah, consider a high quality African cloth like Luv Scrub! Machine washable, much more hygienic + last a long time"
