You’re investing time and money into your skincare routine—but what if it’s working against you? Many people make these small but impactful mistakes that can cause irritation, dullness, or breakouts.
1️⃣Over-Exfoliating
Mistake: Using scrubs or acids daily thinking more = better.
Fix: Limit exfoliation to 2–3 times a week max. Your skin needs time to regenerate and heal.
2️⃣ Skipping Moisturizer (Even If You Have Oily Skin)
Mistake: Thinking oily skin doesn’t need hydration.
Fix: Use a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer. Dehydrated skin actually produces more oil to compensate.
3️⃣ Layering Products Incorrectly
Mistake: Applying products in the wrong order (like oils before serums).
Fix: Follow the correct order:
- Cleanser
- Toner
- Serum
- Moisturizer
- Sunscreen (AM) / Facial oil (PM, if needed)
4️⃣ Not Wearing Sunscreen Daily
Mistake: Only applying SPF when it’s sunny or you’re outdoors.
Fix: UV rays are present every day—even indoors! Use SPF 30 or higher daily, rain or shine.
5️⃣ Switching Products Too Often
Mistake: Constantly changing products without giving them time to work.
Fix: Stick with one routine for at least 4–6 weeks before evaluating results.
Consistency is key. Keep it simple, hydrate well, and listen to your skin’s needs!
