14 Common Skin-Care Mistakes Dermatologists Say We're Guilty of Making

Even your daily shower can be causing more harm than good to your skin if you're doing it wrong. It comes down to the temperature of the water you're using.

"While a hot shower may be your favorite way to start or end your day, it can be damaging to your skin," said board-certified dermatologist and Olay brand ambassador Sheila Farhang, MD. "Hot water actually strips away the skin's natural oils and disrupts surface lipids and proteins, causing the skin to become easily inflamed."

Instead, she recommended you "decrease shower length, and use tepid water temperature instead of hot."
