Common Skincare Mistakes You’re Probably Making (and How to Fix Them)

We spend a lot of money on skincare products to get clear, youthful skin. But products only play a half part in your skincare; the other half depends on how you execute them. If your shelf has tonnes of beauty products but your skin still doesn’t shine the way you want, chances are you could be making skincare mistakes.

Let’s explore some common bad skincare habits that you may be unknowingly following.

4 Common Skincare Mistakes You Should Not Repeat

Using Toxic Chemical-Based Products

It’s the 21st century, and there is enough research about how some chemicals commonly used in skincare can be harmful. Always opt for natural ingredient-based products to get glowing skin without harming your health and the environment. 

Cleansing Your Face Too Much

If you’re cleansing your face repeatedly, you’re making a big skincare mistake that strips off the natural oil on your face, which is essential to keep your face well moisturised. Without them, your face will either turn dry or increase oil production, which will turn your skin oily. So, keep your face-washing habit in control.

Over-Exfoliating Your Skin

Are you over-exfoliating? If yes, you're making one of the most common bad skincare habits. It can drain the natural oils out of your skin. Moreover, it may also leave your skin red, irritated, and acne-prone. Just scrub your skin 2-3 times a week with a gentle exfoliator.

Not Moisturising Right After the Face Wash

Another common skincare error is not moisturising your face immediately after a face wash or shower to lock in moisture. Use a gentle moisturiser or serum like FaceYoga® Age-reversing Saffron Serum that has luxurious Ayurvedic ingredients that keep your face hydrated, glowing, and young.
