Everyone has a different skin character. In general, the character of the skin is divided into 4 types, namely oily, dry, normal, and combination skin. Besides these types, humidity levels will also vary.

2. Lack of sleep quality

Normally, in a day Indonesian people need quality sleep with a duration of 6-7 hours. Sleep quality includes whether or not you have a good night's sleep, continuity or not waking up during the night, and duration.

Because there are many activities, sleep will be discounted. Well, this is what causes the skin to age easily and look not fresh.

3. Don't clean your face before going to bed

Cleansing the face before going to bed is useful to remove the dirt that sticks and the rest of the makeup that closes the pores. So, the habit of washing or cleaning the face needs to be done before going to bed.

4. Experiencing stress and overthinking
