5 Common Skincare Mistakes to Avoid

Because Even Good Habits Can Go Wrong.

Sometimes it’s not about adding more to your skincare routine — it’s about removing the things that aren’t helping. Even with the best intentions, simple missteps can keep your skin from thriving.

Here are 5 common skincare mistakes and how to avoid them:

1. Over-Exfoliating

Too much of a good thing can be damaging. Overdoing exfoliation (especially with scrubs or acids) can strip your skin barrier and cause redness or breakouts.
Fix it: Limit exfoliating to 2–3 times a week using gentle ingredients like mandelic acid or apricot seed powder.

2. Skipping Sunscreen

UV rays are the #1 cause of premature aging and dark spots — even on cloudy days.
Fix it: Use SPF 30 or higher every morning, rain or shine. Your glow depends on it.

3. Using Harsh Products for Breakouts

Alcohol-based products might dry out pimples temporarily, but they also disrupt your skin barrier and lead to more inflammation.
Fix it: Use calming, plant-based ingredients like tea tree oil, green tea extract, or chamomile.

4. Not Cleansing Properly at Night

Going to bed with makeup or buildup clogs pores and dulls your skin over time.
Fix it: Always cleanse — ideally twice if wearing makeup — and follow with hydrating products to support recovery overnight.

5. Changing Products Too Often

Your skin needs time to adjust. Constantly switching products can confuse your skin and trigger breakouts.
Fix it: Give each product at least 4–6 weeks before judging results, unless you notice irritation.
