Common Skincare Mistakes (And How to Fix Them)

Common Skincare Mistakes (And How to Fix Them)

Even the most skincare-savvy people make these surprisingly common mistakes. From over-exfoliating to skipping SPF, your daily routine might be doing more harm than good. Learn what habits to avoid—and how The Skin Flora’s gentle, microbiome-safe solutions can reset your skin.

1. Over-Exfoliating Your Skin

We all love the feeling of freshly exfoliated skin—but too much exfoliation can damage your skin barrier and disrupt your microbiome. Whether it’s physical scrubs or acid peels, overuse leads to dryness, sensitivity, and even breakouts. The Skin Flora encourages weekly gentle exfoliation with postbiotic repair products in between.

2. Skipping Sunscreen

One of the most common and harmful mistakes is not wearing sunscreen daily. UV damage doesn’t just cause premature aging—it also weakens your skin’s defense system. The Skin Flora recommends pairing mineral-based SPF with microbiome-safe moisturizers to lock in hydration while protecting from harmful rays.

3. Using Too Many Actives

More doesn’t always mean better. Retinol, vitamin C, AHAs… when layered incorrectly or used too often, these actives can strip your skin and throw off its balance. With The Skin Flora, you can simplify your routine and focus on barrier-friendly formulations that nourish instead of overwhelm.

4. Ignoring Ingredients

Labels can be tricky—but your skin knows the truth. Products with synthetic fragrance, drying alcohols, and harsh preservatives can sabotage your efforts. The Skin Flora takes the guesswork out by using clean, postbiotic-powered ingredients you can trust.

5. Not Listening to Your Skin

Tight, red, or flaky skin? That’s your skin calling for help. Instead of covering symptoms, treat the root cause—often a damaged microbiome. The Skin Flora’s holistic approach calms, hydrates, and restores from the inside out.
