1. An unchanging routine all year-round
   
   People tend to self-type their skin and think of themselves as having that skin type year- round, says Duffy, adding that while your skin itself doesn't change, what it needs does change with the seasons (as well as life-changes like pregnancy and age). You need a heavier moisturizer in winter than in summer, for example, or a lighter one if you travel from a cold climate to a warm, humid one. Duffy advises that it's important to periodically reassess what your skin needs at that moment in time.
   
   
   
2. Not using sun protection on a daily basis
   
   There's no reason today for anyone not to be protected from both UVA and UVB rays as a matter of routine, says Duffy. Just use Avon's Age Block Environmental Protection Cream. It contains Parsol(r) 1789, the most powerful defense to date, to protect against UVA rays, plus SPF 15 protection against UVB rays.
   
   
   
3. Overaggressive cleansing
   
   Cleansing too often or using products that are chemically too aggressive for their skin type is a prevalent goof, says Duffy. How can you tell if you're making it? Your skin will feel drier than it should be and may even break out a bit. A cleanser should clean without destroying the skin's lipid barrier; Avon's ANEW Perfect Cleanser is one that works thoroughly and gently.
