The Skin Care Advice That's Actually Ruining Your Face

I've heard some pretty stupid "beauty tips" in my time. Everything from my mom telling me to pop my zits (along with this other beauty advice that sucks) to a rumor that my grilled cheese sandwich is causing this scary skin condition (say it ain't so!).

However, I thought I was pretty good at weeding through the crappy advice and knowing what was right for my skin. I was wrong. So wrong.

After talking to a few dermatologists, I learned that some of the "good" skin care advice I've been following for years is the real reason I break out and am already starting to see some wrinkles. In a nutshell, everything I was doing was wrong -- and I'm willing to bet you're in the habit of following some of this bad beauty advice, too. Sucks, doesn't it?
