While moisturising your skin is essential in summer to prevent dryness and dull skin, heavy creams can clog pores and make your skin feel suffocated. Use lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturisers.

Sunscreen is your skin's best defense against harmful UV rays that can cause sunburn, premature ageing, and even skin cancer. Use it even when it is raining and consider a SPF above 30.

Sleeping with makeup on can clog pores, trap bacteria, and lead to breakouts and dullness. Always cleanse your face before bed to remove makeup, dirt, and impurities.

Over Or Under-Exfoliating

Exfoliation helps to remove dead skin cells, revealing smoother, brighter skin underneath. However, over-exfoliating can cause irritation and sensitivity, while under-exfoliating can lead to dull skin.
