#1 Touching Face Often
The more you touch your skin, the bacteria from your hands can spread to other parts of the skin, particularly your face.
If your skin is acne prone then you should avoid touching your skin.
Try to keep your hands off your face to reduce the chance of getting acne, maybe just before a New Year party.
#2 Wrong Selection Of Products
Most of us are not experts at picking the right type of make up essentials. Don't merely pick a product that looks or smells good.
Selecting the wrong product for your skin may give you acne and spoil your look.
For example, if the product you have picked use says 'non-comedogenic' or 'non-acnegenic' which means it has been tested and does not cause or worsen pimples, it should not harm your skin.
If your skin is acne-prone, always apply make-up which is 'paraben free', 'oil-free' 'non-comedogenic' or 'lanolin -free'.
For oily skin never use a hydrating moisturiser.Use of a good foundation and then covering it with powder(primer)is into in this skin type.

#3 Not Applying Screen Lotion To Neck And Other Exposed Area
Usually, we tend to just protect our face, but the other exposed areas are equally important too!
#4 Avoiding Dark Circles
Most women try to hide dark circles by using a combination of eye creams which may not be good for the eyes and the skin surrounding the eyes.
There is no instant solution to cure dark circles. However, you can reduce them by using a combination of various techniques such as skin tightening, eye peels and eye creams for home care before the New Year party.
#5 Applying Products In Wrong Manner
Just because you bought a bunch of creams and make-up stuff, you cannot just apply them in any order. The products which are of thinner consistency have to be applied first, followed by the thicker ones. Only then will the products absorb effectively into your skin.
#6 Ignoring Sweat
When you are at a party and you're dancing, your internal body heat increases which is cooled by sweating.
If you ignore sweat, it may not be so good for you. Unless you have an excessive sweating problem in which case you would want to consult a dermatologist.
For excessive sweating, you can consider products comprising aluminium chloride hexahydrate and in severe cases, botulinum toxin injections.
For sweating at parties, you can use curatio aldry lotion containing aluminium chlorohydrate ,works as and anti persirant. However, it may sometimes cause skin irritation, so you may want to ask your dermatologist for help.

#7 Using Cleansing Product That Create To Much Foam
A foam cleanser definitely gives an I-feel-so-clean feeling but, in reality, the face wash might be containing strong detergent chemicals which cause the foam. So, rather use mild foam cleansers for safer results.
Since our skin is naturally delicate, it has to be maintained with care. We should not just choose the right skin products to suit our skin, but should also avoid using anything that could possibly harm our skin. So stay smart, stay beautiful!
