Moisturizer is an essential part of any skincare routine. But, if you make these mistakes, you could sabotage your skin. The first mistake women make is not using a moisturizer at all. Everyone needs a moisturizer. No matter how oily your skin, a hydrated face reflects light and plumps up the skin for a more youthful appearance. It also prepares your skin for more irritating ingredients like retinol. Even those with oily skin still need to use a moisturizer.

In fact, not using a moisturizer could be the reason your skin is oily in the first place. That’s because the dryness spurs more sebum to compensate resulting in grease your skin. So, make sure to use a good moisturizer at least once a day.

The next mistake is applying it too aggressively. You have to take your time and be gentle when applying your moisturizer. Especially around the eyes tugging on your skin can actually cause wrinkles and sagging skin. So, make sure to use your ring finger when you apply because it’s a weaker finger. You’re forced to be more gentle and remember always apply in its upward motion.

The third biggest mistake is using a product that’s not right for your skin type. While everyone needs a moisturizer, not every moisturizer works for everyone. You need to look for a product with ingredients for your skin. For instance, if you have oily skin, you have to use a lotion instead of a heavy cream and if you have sensitive skin, you should avoid any product with fragrances. Also, it’s important to remember that your skin type may change over time meaning your moisturizer needs may change as well. Ask your dermatologist for the best moisturizer for you.

The next mistake is you apply your makeup or foundation too soon after applying your moisturizer. If you do this, your makeup isn’t likely to last all day. So, give it a few minutes to soak in. If you’re in a big rush, blot your face with tissue before applying your makeup.

Finally, the last biggest mistake is that you don’t exfoliate enough. You will never experience the full benefits of moisturizer if you have a thick layer of dead skin. So, your best bet is to use a cleansing brush or a good exfoliator at least three times a week to experience the full benefits of your moisturizer and all of its ingredients.
