5 Everyday Skincare Mistakes You Might Be Making — And How to Fix Them

When it comes to glowing, healthy skin, consistency is key — but so is doing it right. At Luraya, we often hear from women who are following a routine religiously but still struggling with dullness, breakouts, or sensitivity. The truth? You might be unknowingly making small mistakes that are costing your skin its natural glow.

Let’s uncover 5 common skincare mistakes and how you can easily fix them for better results.

1. Over-Cleansing Your Skin

The mistake: Washing your face too frequently or using harsh cleansers that strip away natural oils.

The fix: Cleanse twice a day — morning and night — with a gentle, pH-balanced cleanser. Look for hydrating ingredients like aloe vera, glycerin, or chamomile that clean without drying.

2. Skipping Sunscreen Indoors

The mistake: Only applying sunscreen when stepping out.

The fix: UV rays can penetrate through windows and screens. Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every single day, even when you're indoors. This is your best defense against early signs of aging and pigmentation.

3. Not Moisturizing Oily Skin

The mistake: Thinking oily skin doesn’t need hydration.

The fix: Skipping moisturizer can actually lead to more oil production. Opt for a lightweight, gel-based moisturizer that hydrates without clogging pores. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid or niacinamide.

4. Layering Products Incorrectly

The mistake: Applying products in the wrong order, which can reduce their effectiveness.

The fix: Follow the correct order — cleanser → toner (optional) → serum → moisturizer → sunscreen (AM only). Always go from the lightest to heaviest texture.

5. Ignoring Your Neck and Hands

The mistake: Focusing skincare only on the face.

The fix: Your neck and hands show early signs of aging too. Extend your routine to these areas for a more even and youthful appearance.
