3 Skincare Mistakes That Could Be Ruining Your Barrier
You’re doing the double cleanse. You bought the serum. You’re trying your best.
But… your skin still feels off?
Chances are, one of these common skincare mistakes is to blame.
1. Over-exfoliating (yes, even “just once a week”)
You don’t need acids on rotation. If your skin’s sensitive, tight, or flaking, lay off the exfoliants and focus on repair.
Pro tip: most people don’t need glycolic and retinol and salicylic. Pick one.
2. Layering too much, too fast
New moisturizer + serum + oil + mask in one night? Your skin isn’t a science experiment. Introduce new products slowly—one at a time, once every 3–5 days.
3. Ignoring your skin type
Your bestie’s routine might break your skin. What works for oily, acne-prone skin won’t work for barrier-compromised, dry skin. That’s why understanding your skin type matters.
