7 Skincare Mistakes You Didn’t Know You Were Making (And How to Fix Them Naturally)
We’ve all been there—trying to do all the right things for our skin, only to wonder why it’s still acting up. The truth is, even with the best intentions, some small missteps can get in the way of your glow. But the good news? They’re super easy to fix—and even better when you swap in gentle, natural solutions.
Let’s chat about 7 common skincare mistakes you might not even know you’re making—and how to fix them naturally.
1. Washing Your Face with Body Soap (Or Gasp… Just Water)
Your facial skin is thinner and more delicate than the rest of your body. That means body soaps—even natural ones—can be too harsh and drying.
✅ Fix it: Use a cleanser made specifically for your face, like our Botanical Glow Cleansing Cream. It gently lifts away dirt and makeup while feeding your skin with aloe, green tea, and calendula. No tightness, no dryness—just clean, comfortable skin.
2. Skipping Moisturizer Because You Have Oily Skin
If your skin feels oily, it might actually be dehydrated. When skin lacks moisture, it overcompensates by producing more oil.
✅ Fix it: Try a lightweight, hydrating moisturizer that balances without clogging pores. Our Glow Natural Antioxidant Serum is packed with hyaluronic acid and antioxidant botanicals to deeply hydrate without the heaviness.
3. Over-Exfoliating (We See You, Daily Scrubbers!)
We love a good exfoliation moment, but too much can leave your skin red, irritated, and even more breakout-prone.
✅ Fix it: Limit exfoliation to 2–3 times a week max, and use a gentle product. If your skin’s already feeling sensitive, ease off completely for a week or two and focus on calming ingredients like chamomile or green tea.
4. Not Cleansing Before Bed (Even if You Didn't Wear Makeup)
Your skin picks up oil, pollution, sunscreen, and all the day's grime—yes, even if you skipped foundation.
✅ Fix it: Commit to a quick cleanse before bed. You’ll be amazed how much better your skin looks just from this one habit. Think you have no time, try Micellar Water for a no rinse quick clean, perfect for that nighttime wind-down.
5. Using Too Many Actives at Once
Vitamin C, retinol, acids, peptides—oh my! Sometimes we overload our skin with active ingredients, which can lead to sensitivity and inflammation.
✅ Fix it: Keep it simple. Alternate your active treatments and let your skin breathe with nourishing basics in between. Our PRO LINE Moisturizer Facial Cream is loaded with antioxidants and skin-repairing ingredients that help calm and strengthen skin that’s been through too much.
6. Ignoring Your Neck and Chest
These areas show signs of aging fast—and yet they’re often skipped during skincare routines.
✅ Fix it: Treat your neck and décolleté like an extension of your face. Cleanse, moisturize, and SPF it daily. A few extra seconds = a whole lot of future “thank-you, past me” moments.
7. Not Switching Up Your Skincare with the Seasons
What works for your skin in summer might not cut it in winter—and vice versa.
✅ Fix it: Pay attention to what your skin is telling you. Dryness in winter? Add a facial oil. Extra oiliness in summer? Swap to lighter textures.
It’s okay—we’re all learning as we go. The key is tuning in to what your skin really needs and choosing products that support it naturally. That’s exactly what we’re here for.
