Clean your makeup brushes regularly
People who don't clear their brushes regularly are letting that bacteria and dirt in the brush go back onto their skin, which can cause breakouts. Foundation brushes should be cleaned weekly whereas powder brushes can be cleaned every 2 or 3 weeks.

Reduce or drop dairy from your diet
While dairy is full of rich taste, it's also full of cow hormones. These hormones trigger the oil glands on your skin to go berserk, leading to increased clogged pores and breakouts.

Get plenty of sleep
Lack of sleep doesn't give your skin time to recover and rejuvenate. This means breakouts or blemishes will take longer to heal. Having a good nighttime skin routine will do wonders.

Don't forget your neck
When cleansing and moisturizing the skin, don't neglect the neck. The neck has thinner skin and thus needs that extra love. Without it, you are more likely to experience wrinkles, dark spots, and sagging.

Thoroughly remove makeup before bed
Don't be lazy when you are too tired to remove makeup before bed. Leaving it on will more likely lead to clogged pores or skin dryness. This is especially true for eye makeup. You'll find yourself with small white bumps (milia) around the eyes otherwise.
