Sometimes, it’s not just about what skincare products we use — it’s about what we do every single day without even realizing it.

At Elegans by Dr. Vasiliki Kakani, we often meet clients who wonder why their skin looks tired, dull, or older despite using good creams or getting treatments. The truth? Your daily habits matter just as much as your skincare products.

Here are the most common skin care mistakes that might be secretly aging your skin — and how to fix them.

---

1. Not Wearing SPF Every Day (Even in Sweden!)

Cloudy day? Winter? Working indoors?
It doesn’t matter.

UV rays are the number one cause of premature ageing — and they are there even when the sun isn’t visible.

Fix it:

Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or 50 every single morning. It’s the best anti-ageing product money can buy.

2. Over-Cleansing or Using Harsh Products

Squeaky clean skin = damaged skin barrier.

Many people use strong cleansers, scrubs, or alcohol-based toners that dry out the skin — leading to irritation, sensitivity, and faster ageing.

Fix it:

Use gentle cleansers, avoid foaming soaps unless needed, and balance your routine with hydration.

3. Sleeping With Makeup On

We know — it happens. But this bad habit can lead to clogged pores, breakouts, dull skin, and long-term damage.

Fix it:

Keep micellar water or cleansing wipes by your bed for those extra-tired nights.

4. Ignoring the Neck & Hands

The face often gets all the love, but your neck and hands are among the first areas to show signs of ageing.

Fix it:

Apply all your skincare (yes, even SPF) down to your neck and on your hands daily.

5. DIY Treatments Without Professional Advice

Trends like at-home peels, dermarolling, or TikTok skincare hacks can easily damage your skin if not done correctly.

Fix it:

Always consult a certified skin therapist or doctor before trying new treatments — your skin is worth it.
