Are you investing in skincare products but still not seeing that natural glow you dream of? You're not alone. Many people think they have the perfect routine, but unknowingly make simple mistakes that sabotage their skin goals.
Whether you’re a beginner building a natural skincare routine, or a beauty enthusiast trying to perfect your glow, this guide will help you avoid the top skincare mistakes - and show you how to fix them with clean, nourishing practices.
At Avry1 Pretty Beauty Oils, we believe skincare should be simple, natural, and effective. Let's dive into the top 5 skincare mistakes and the easy fixes your skin will thank you for.
1. Overcleansing or Using the Wrong Cleanser
🚫 The Mistake:
Washing your face feels refreshing, but cleansing too often or using a harsh product can strip your skin of its natural oils. This weakens your skin barrier and leaves it prone to irritation, breakouts, and dryness.
✅ The Fix:
- Limit cleansing to twice daily: morning and night.
- Choose a gentle, pH-balanced cleanser for your skin type:
- Dry or sensitive skin? Use a cream or oil-based cleanser.
- Oily or acne-prone? Go for a mild foaming cleanser with salicylic acid.
💡 Try Cleansing Oil, formulated with clean botanical oils that deeply cleanse without stripping - a must-have in your clean beauty routine.
2. Skipping Sunscreen — Indoors, Outdoors, Rain or Shine
🚫 The Mistake:
Skipping SPF is one of the biggest skincare mistakes to avoid. UVA and UVB rays penetrate clouds and windows, causing premature aging, pigmentation, and increasing your risk of skin cancer.
✅ The Fix:
- Apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily — even on cloudy days or indoors.
- Reapply every 2–3 hours if you're exposed to sunlight or screens.
- Opt for sunscreens with antioxidants to protect against environmental damage and blue light from devices.
🔆 Bonus Tip: Choose a sunscreen that’s non-comedogenic and blends well with makeup if you wear it.
3. Using Too Many Active Ingredients at Once
🚫 The Mistake:
It’s tempting to try every trending ingredient at once - vitamin C, retinol, glycolic acid, niacinamide - but mixing them without guidance can irritate or inflame your skin.
✅ The Fix:
- Start slow. Introduce one active ingredient at a time.
- Avoid harsh combos:
- ❌ Retinol + Vitamin C
- ❌ Retinol + AHA/BHA
- Alternate actives across your weekly routine.
💧 Hydrating face oils for glowing skin can help reduce irritation from actives. Our Avry1 Purity Face Oil locks in moisture and supports skin healing.
4. Not Moisturizing Enough (Yes, Even If You’re Oily)
🚫 The Mistake:
People with oily or acne-prone skin often skip moisturizer, thinking it’ll make their face greasy. But that can trigger more oil production, making things worse.
✅ The Fix:
- Use lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizers or facial oils.
- Understand hydration vs. moisture:
- Hydration = water (use hyaluronic acid)
- Moisture = oil (use plant-based oils)
- Always apply moisturizer after water-based products to seal in hydration.
🌿 Our Avry1 Purify Barrier Repair Cream is a multitasking blend of Ceramides & Peptides , Hyaluronic Acid, Hazelnut Seed Extract & Chamomile Oil, Niacinamide & Vitamin C - ideal for balancing oily skin naturally.
5. Inconsistency and Unrealistic Expectations
🚫 The Mistake:
Your skin won’t transform overnight. Many give up or switch products too often when they don’t see quick results. But skin regeneration takes time - usually 28 to 45 days.
✅ The Fix:
- Be consistent with your routine for 6–8 weeks.
- Avoid changing products constantly.
- Take weekly photos to track progress instead of checking every day.
🕯️ Skincare is self-care. Stay patient and enjoy the process of building your natural skincare routine.
Bonus: Everyday Habits That Harm Your Skin
Even with the right products, daily habits can sneak in and cause issues. Here are a few to watch out for:
💄 Not Cleaning Your Tools
Makeup brushes and skincare tools collect bacteria. Clean them weekly to avoid clogging your pores.
🛏️ Dirty Pillowcases
Change pillowcases 2–3 times a week, especially if you have acne-prone skin.
🥤 Ignoring Diet and Hydration
Processed food and dehydration reflect on your skin. Eat antioxidant-rich foods and drink plenty of water.
