Overexfoliating

Sorry—while squeaky-clean pores may initially feel good, "harsh cleansing or too much exfoliating can actually exacerbate oil production and worsen breakouts by spreading bacteria," Fein says. A gentle alternative: Use a glycolic peel, such as Avon Anew Clinical Advanced Retexturizing Peel, three times a week.

Most of us are aware of the need to regularly rid our face - and body - of dead skin cells.

Otherwise the layers of dead cells we shed every day can leave our complexion looking dull and lack lustre and can cause congestion and unwanted break-outs - especially for anyone suffering from oily or acne-prone skin.
