Mistake #1: Over-Exfoliating

• Why it’s harmful: Excessive exfoliation can strip your skin barrier, leading to redness, dryness, and irritation.
• The fix: Limit exfoliation to 1-2 times per week and use gentle AHAs or BHAs to remove dead skin cells without damaging your skin.

Try this: Phaedra Skincare Collagen Boost Serum – Helps repair the skin barrier and restore hydration after exfoliation.

Mistake #2: Skipping Sunscreen Indoors

• Why it’s harmful: UV rays penetrate windows, accelerating signs of aging and causing long-term skin damage.
• The fix: Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ every morning, even when indoors, to protect against UVA and UVB rays.

Mistake #3: Using Too Many Products

• Why it’s harmful: Overloading your skin with multiple active ingredients can cause irritation, breakouts, or sensitivity.
• The fix: Stick to a simple, effective skincare routine: cleanser, treatment, moisturizer, and sunscreen.

Try this: Phaedra Skincare Niacinamide Gel Moisturiser – A lightweight, multi-tasking moisturizer that hydrates without overloading the skin.

Mistake #4: Not Removing Makeup Properly

• Why it’s harmful: Leaving residual makeup on your skin overnight can clog pores, leading to breakouts and dull skin.
• The fix: Use a double cleansing method—start with a micellar water or oil cleanser, followed by a gentle face wash.

Try this: Phaedra Skincare BiPhasic Make-up Remover – Effectively dissolves makeup while keeping skin hydrated and refreshed.

Mistake #5: Ignoring the Ingredients List

• Why it’s harmful: Using skincare products without checking the ingredients can lead to irritation, dryness, or worsening skin issues.
• The fix: Learn what works for your skin type:
  • Dry skin – Look for ceramides and hyaluronic acid.
  • Acne-prone skin – Choose salicylic acid or niacinamide.
  • Sensitive skin – Avoid fragrances and harsh exfoliants.

Try this: Phaedra Skincare Smoothing Eye Cream – Formulated with ceramides for deep hydration and a youthful look.
