Because your glow deserves better than guesswork.
Even with the best intentions, skincare mistakes happen—especially with all the trends, tips, and new products flying around.
Here are 5 of the most common slip-ups we see (and how to fix them without overhauling your entire routine):
1. Layering Products That Cancel Each Other Out
The Mistake: Mixing active ingredients that clash—like retinol + AHAs or Vitamin C + niacinamide—can cause irritation or make each other less effective.
The Fix:
Simplify. Use active ingredients in separate routines (e.g., Vitamin C in the morning, retinol at night). And always check compatibility before layering.
2. Skipping Moisturizer on Oily Skin
The Mistake: Thinking oily skin doesn’t need hydration. (It does.)
The Fix:
Use lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizers. Hydrating your skin can actually help balance oil production and reduce shine over time.
3. Forgetting SPF on Cloudy or Indoor Days
The Mistake: Assuming no sun = no UV damage. But UVA rays (the ones that age your skin) penetrate clouds and windows.
The Fix:
Wear broad-spectrum SPF daily—rain or shine, indoors or out. Think of it as your daily anti-aging shield.
4. Switching Products Too Often
The Mistake: Jumping between trending serums every few days. Your skin can’t keep up.
The Fix:
Give your routine at least 3–4 weeks before swapping products. Consistency matters more than novelty when it comes to results.
5. Over-Exfoliating
The Mistake: Scrubbing too often or layering acids daily thinking it’ll speed up results.
The Fix:
Exfoliate 1–2 times per week, max. Choose gentle acids or enzyme exfoliants that renew without damaging your skin barrier.
Bonus Tip:
Less is often more. Skincare should feel good—not stressful. Focus on quality, not quantity.
