The 16 Most Common Beauty Mistakes Women Make

Bioderma Sensibio H2O Water, $11, Amazon

Sometimes, doing a full makeup removal routine is the last thing you want to do before bed, but doing so every single night can make a huge difference in skin clarity. Just washing your face isn't always enough — this micellar water from Bioderma cleanses deeply and thoroughly without being rough on your skin, ensuring that every tiny bit of makeup is dissolved and kaput. Plus, this product was designed with sensitive skin in mind.

Supergoop! Forever Young Hand Cream SPF 40, $38, Amazon

While most people are vigilant about protecting their skin, chest, and shoulders from the sun, there's one part of your body that's almost always exposed and tends to get ignored: the hands. This hand cream has SPF 40 and conveniently comes in a pump. Set it next to your hand soap in the bathroom, and you will remember to moisturize and protect your hands every time you use the sink.

Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Salicylic Acid Exfoliant, $10, Amazon

When you have acne or dry skin, the desire to just scrub it all off is strong, but physical exfoliation can actually cause more harm than good. A chemical exfoliant, such as this BHA salicylic acid liquid, can give you all the radiant, clear effects of an exfoliant without stripping your skin of natural oils and creating micro tears. If you are already using prescribed acne products, be sure to consult with a dermatologist before you introduce a new active ingredient into your routine, and be sure not to exfoliate every day.

Hydr-8 Time Marked Water Bottle, $17, Amazon

If you're dehydrated, it doesn't matter how much moisturizer you slather on your skin; it will be dehydrated too. That's why it's essential for not only your health but also your skin's appearance to drink enough water each day, and this water bottle is the way to get there. It holds half your daily recommended amount of water and has marked timestamps, so you can make sure you're getting enough.

ArtNaturals Thermal Hair Protector Spray, $12, Amazon

Hair straighteners and curling irons are the way to achieve the look you want — and an easy way to destroy your hair slowly, if you don't protect it. This thermal shield conditioner protects your hair from heat while also reversing heat damage and generally keeping your hair soft and moisturized. Plus, it's a natural detangler for even the wildest hair.

LilyAna Naturals Eye Cream Moisturizer, $17, Amazon

Not all of the skin on your face is the same, with the delicate skin around your eyes standing out as the special snowflake of your visage. It requires deeper, more intense hydration to keep this area soft, supple, and flake-free, which is where this eye cream moisturizer comes in handy. Without parabens, but with hibiscus and rosehip extract, it nourishes your skin without irritating it.

Cosrx Acne Pimple Master Patch, $5, Amazon

Sometimes when you have a stubborn pimple, all you want to do is attack it with every acne medication in your arsenal. However, overdoing it like this often leads to making the acne worse, as well as drying out and damaging the skin around it. Instead, opt for a hydrocolloid bandage from Cosrx, which absorbs pus, heals skin, and prevents you from picking at (or hurling more medications at) your acne.

French Nerds Makeup Brush Cleaner and Brush Egg, $14, Amazon

Everyone knows that they should clean their makeup brushes, but with sub-par products, it can take a long time and sometimes doesn't seem worth the hassle. This brush cleaner and accompanying brush egg make it super easy to clean makeup brushes, so that you can flawlessly apply makeup that blends the way it is supposed to, without grinding dirt and old makeup residue into your skin during the process.

Thank Me Later Eye Shadow Primer, $15, Amazon

If your eye shadow is constantly smudging, creasing, and blending in ways you don't want it to, then the answer is simple: You need to be using an eyeshadow primer underneath.

Julep Oxygen Nail Treatment, $18, Amazon

When you constantly keep your nails painted, they can become brittle, dry, and yellow, due to lack of oxygen or forgetting to apply a base coat. This nail treatment product is designed specifically to give your nails some much-needed oxygen and rest, while still looking super cute. It's available in both sheer pink and sheer ivory, whichever better suits your style and look.

Hanalei Beauty Maui Sugar Lip Scrub, $15, Amazon

Putting lipstick on when your lips are already cracked and flaky is a big no-no; not only will the lipstick wear off much faster, but also the product will essentially highlight all of the lip damage. If your lips have seen better days, apply this sugar lip scrub beforehand, for a smooth lipstick application. It's packed with rich, indulgent ingredients native to Hawaii, such as kukui nut oil.

Skindinavia The Makeup Finishing Spray, $21, Amazon

If your makeup always seems to be creasing, running, or just plain wearing off after just a few hours of wear, then you need a good finishing spray, ASAP.

Once you're done applying makeup, simply mist this gentle spray all over your beautiful face, and you'll be good to go for the rest of the day.

This product is also completely free of latex, and it's even vegan.

Fancii 7X Magnifying LED Lighted Makeup Mirror, $24, Amazon

If you're applying your makeup in a dark room, in a blurry mirror, or literally while using your Macbook's Photo Booth app (guilty), then it's time to step up your game. This magnifying mirror shows you the up close without have to get up close, and it mimics lovely, natural daylight — it's equipped with 16 LED lights — so you can get a better idea of how your makeup will look throughout the day and not just in your bedroom.
