11 Beauty Products That Are Secretly Aging You

Many of us turn to makeup and skin care to help brighten dull skin, even out skin tone, smooth fine lines and reduce signs of aging. But you may be surprised to know that some beauty products are actually causing the problem. This is especially true if you aren’t using the right products for your skin type. “If you’re using the wrong products, it can lead to dehydrated, dull skin and breakouts, which only make signs of aging more noticeable,” celebrity esthetician Shani Darden says. It's important to find out what products work best for you to ensure skin is smooth, hydrated and even toned, she adds.

Instead of running to Sephora to grab the latest and greatest celebrity-inspired foundation or revolutionary anti-aging serum, make an appointment with a specialist who can tell you what ingredients will best suit the needs of your skin and which ones may aggravate already frustrating conditions like fine lines, oiliness and breakouts. To give you a head start, we asked experts to reveal which products could be making you look and feel older than you’d like.
