5 Skincare Mistakes That Are Ruining Your Glow (and How to Fix Them)

1️⃣ Skipping the Double Cleanse (Especially if You Wear Makeup) Makeup wipes aren't enough.🧼 First cleanse: An oil-based cleanser to melt away SPF, makeup, and excess sebum.💧 Second cleanse: A water-based cleanser to remove impurities and prep your skin for actives.👉 Why it matters: Clean skin absorbs products better and breaks out less.

2️⃣ Overdoing Active Ingredients More isn’t always better.🔬 Too much retinol, acids, or vitamin C can cause irritation, flaking, or sensitivity.🧴 Fix it: Introduce actives slowly—2-3 times a week—and layer with hydrating products.🌿 Bonus: Look for calming ingredients like panthenol, aloe vera, or green tea.

3️⃣ Not Moisturizing Because You Have Oily Skin Think oily skin doesn’t need moisture? Think again.💡 Lack of hydration can actually trigger more oil production.✔️ Go for lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizers with hyaluronic acid or glycerin.

4️⃣ Using Harsh Scrubs Too Often That “squeaky clean” feeling = skin barrier damage.🚫 Skip the rough physical exfoliants (apricot kernels, we’re looking at you).✅ Switch to gentle chemical exfoliants (like lactic acid or mandelic acid) 1–2 times a week.

5️⃣ Inconsistent Sunscreen Use If you only wear SPF when it’s sunny, you're doing it wrong.☁️ UV rays penetrate clouds and windows.🧴 Apply every morning—rain or shine—with at least SPF 30.🔁 Reapply every 2 hours if you're outside.

Final Thoughts Skincare is a journey, not a race. The key? Patience, consistency, and avoiding these sneaky mistakes. Your glow-up starts with smarter choices.
