Many people struggle with blemishes, spots or skin irritations – and often the cause is not only genetics or unsuitable skincare products. Quite frequently, it’s the small, everyday habits we hardly notice that put our skin under pressure, leading to inflammation, clogged pores and an uneven complexion.
At Beauty Embassy, we show you which routines are worth rethinking – and how even small changes can contribute to clearer, healthier skin.
1. The phone against your cheek – the bacteria trap smartphone
We pick up our phones dozens of times a day – in cafés, on the Tube, at the office. Bacteria, dirt particles and sebum residues accumulate on the screen, and when making a call these are transferred directly to the skin on your cheek. The result: breakouts, clogged pores and small inflammations.
Our tip: Clean your smartphone daily with a disinfectant wipe, and whenever possible use headphones or the loudspeaker function to avoid direct skin contact.
2. Touching your face with unwashed hands
One of the most common causes of spots and skin inflammation is unconsciously touching the face. Whether rubbing the forehead, resting the chin on the hand or feeling for blemishes – our hands transfer dirt, bacteria and oil directly onto the skin.
Try to consciously touch your face as little as possible, and wash your hands regularly.
3. Not changing your pillowcase often enough
While we sleep, our skin regenerates. At the same time, we leave sebum, dead skin cells and product residues on the pillowcase every night. If it isn’t changed regularly, this creates ideal conditions for bacteria and the skin reacts with irritation, clogged pores and blemishes.
That’s why you should change your pillowcase every two to three days, especially if you are prone to sensitive or blemish-prone skin.
Wechseln Sie deshalb Ihren Kopfkissenbezug alle zwei bis drei Tage, besonders, wenn Sie zu empfindlicher oder unreiner Haut neigen.
4. Using the same towel for body and face
Many people use just one towel for the whole body after showering. This brings the delicate facial skin into contact with the same bacteria and residues picked up from the body. The result: blemishes and inflammation on the face.
Always use a separate, clean towel for your face – ideally a soft fabric that is washed regularly.
Conclusion: Small changes – big impact on clear skin
