| | 4 / 10 3. Skincare hopping
Imagine the scenario: You've started using a new skincare product but you don't see any positive results after a week, so you switch it for something else that might do a better job. Sounds familiar? This is a bad move for your complexion, according to Thomas-Minns, because you're not giving the product a chance to really get to work. Plus, if you hop between products, you're also exposing your skin to tons of different ingredients, which can lead to irritation and even more breakouts.
Spot-busting tip: Don't ditch products if they don't work straight away. Cleansers can start achieving results in as little as two weeks, while serums and treatments products are more likely to need four to six weeks to make a real difference.
