Establishing a Proper Skin Care Routine: Avoiding Common Skincare Mistakes

Home / Skin Treatments / Establishing a Proper Skin Care Routine: Avoiding Common Skincare Mistakes

Creating a skin care routine can be a challenge, as there are many common skin care misconceptions. In this blog, we will dive into the common skin care routine mistakes to avoid and discuss the proper order of a successful skin care routine.

Establishing a Proper Skin Care Routine: Avoiding Common Skincare Mistakes

Neglecting Proper Cleansing Techniques

There’s no such thing as a solid skin care routine without cleansing well. If you’re not paying proper attention to your skin cleaning routine, oils, dirt, and makeup are usually still going to be on your face. This means that your pores are clogged, your breakouts are increasing, and you are prematurely ageing your skin. A good double-cleansing strategy will make sure the first cleanse removes all the dirt and makeup and that the second cleanse can come into contact with the skin to then clean the impurities away.

Misuse of Products with Active Ingredientsn Reaction?

You should be aware of what’s in your skin care products and know how often you should use them. For example, some ingredients (such as retinol or glycolic acid) can sensitize the skin and cause inflammation if used incorrectly. The side effects of this can include burning, redness, itching, and flakey skin.

Not using Sunscreen

Sunbathing causes irreversible damage (wrinkles, dark spots, and skin cancer) on your skin. It is advisable to use sunscreen (of SPF 30 and above) every day, regardless of the season. Sunscreens, though effective, fail after 2 to 3 hours, so you should reapply regularly.

Ignoring Skin Types

If you ignore your skin type, you’ll end up with a routine that does not work for your skin. Everybody’s skin is different.

Sleeping with Makeup On

Wearing makeup to sleep can clog your pores, causing breakouts. Eventually, your skin may be full of gunk and look dull as oxygen will not be able to flow into the skin. Always wash your face before bed to let your skin recover and regenerate overnight.

Popping/Picking Pimples

Don’t pick or pop a pimple or blemish: this can lead to infection,scarring, andincreased inflammation. Let your skin be cleared by skin care professionals, or show it the right tools.

Using Expired Products

Skincare products have a shelf life, and using expired ones can lead to reduced effectiveness or skin irritation. Check the expiration dates on your products, and if they’re past their prime, it’s time to replace them.

How to start Creating your Skin Care routine

Establishing a Proper Skin Care Routine: Avoiding Common Skincare Mistakes

Generally, the rule of thumb is to start with the thinnest consistency and work your way up to the thickest. This allows each product to penetrate the skin properly and deliver its intended benefits.

After cleansing and exfoliating the skin, you would use a hyaluronic acid, which acts as a drink of water for the skin and is usually the consistency of water.

Then move on to your serums, which are usually lightweight, small molecules, and packed with active ingredients. These can target specific concerns like hydration, brightening, or anti-aging.

Following the serums, you would apply any eye creams or gels to address the delicate skin around the eyes.

Finally, you would finish off with a moisturizer to lock in all the previous layers and help prevent trans epidermal water loss from your skin.

And let’s not forget our sunscreen, which is a crucial step in any skin care routine. Applying sunscreen helps protect your skin from harmful UV rays and prevents premature aging.

If you’re using a physical sunscreen, it’s best to apply it as the last step of your skincare routine. However, if you’re using a chemical sunscreen, it should be applied before your moisturizer.

Additionally, it’s important to note that some products may have specific instructions on when to apply them, so always check the packaging or consult with a skin care professional for personalized advice.

Remember, consistency is key when it comes to skin care routine, so make sure to follow your skin care routine diligently for the best results!
