Stress, and skipping sleep... been doing that a lot lately, I know I shouldn't. And wearing make up to bed, those are my sins. :(

Most of this is common knowledge, but still good advice that not enough people listen to

I just made an appointment to see the dermatologist after I read this. I'm only guilty of a couple of the sins so maybe there is hope for my skin yet.

That is pretty much common sense i would think. Although I have a grip of stress, and that will not change anytime soon.
