5 Signs You’re Using the Wrong Skincare Routine

5 Signs You’re Using the Wrong Skincare

July 25, 2025

If your skincare routine isn’t giving you the glow you want, it might be time to reassess. Here are five red flags that your products aren’t working, and how to build a routine that does:

  1. Your Skin Feels Tight After Cleansing
    This usually means your cleanser is too harsh. Opt for a pH-balanced, sulfate-free formula. Try this one. 

  2. You’re Breaking Out More Than Usual
    Over-exfoliating or layering too many actives can trigger acne. Simplify your routine. Try this. 

  3. Makeup Isn’t Sitting Right
    Patchy foundation could be a sign of dehydrated or textured skin—try a hydrating serum or exfoliating facial like HydraGlow. Book Here.

  4. Your Products Burn or Sting
    That’s not a “sign it’s working.” It’s a sign of irritation. Rebuild your barrier with gentle, soothing skincare. Try this. 

  5. You’re Not Seeing Results At All
    It might be time to upgrade to medical-grade skincare tailored to your skin type. Shop all medical grade skincare here.
