1. Over-Cleansing Your Skin

Washing your face is essential, but doing it too often—or using harsh cleansers—can strip your skin of its natural oils. This leads to dryness, irritation, and even breakouts.

Fix: Use a gentle, pH-balanced cleanser twice daily. Look for sulfate-free formulas that protect your skin barrier.

2. Skipping Sunscreen

Sunscreen isn’t just for beach days. UV rays cause premature aging, dark spots, and increase the risk of skin cancer—even on cloudy days.

Fix: Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every morning, even if you're indoors. Reapply every 2–3 hours when exposed to sunlight.

3. Using Too Many Active Ingredients

Layering too many products with strong actives (like retinol, acids, or vitamin C) can overwhelm your skin and cause irritation.

Fix: Keep your routine simple. Stick to a few targeted products suited for your skin type. If you’re unsure, consult a dermatologist or choose doctor-formulated products like those at Doctors Hub.

4. Ignoring Your Skin Type

Dry, oily, sensitive, or combination—your skin needs care that matches its specific needs. Using the wrong products can make issues worse.

Fix: Identify your skin type and choose products accordingly. Our online product filters make it easy to find the right match.

5. Not Patch Testing New Products

Trying a new product without testing it first can lead to allergic reactions or breakouts.

Fix: Always patch test on a small area of skin for 24 hours before full application.
