It can be because of the wrong product, the wrong way of using it or even factors like stress and sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s take a look at some common reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"using-the-wrong-products\">Using the wrong products<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Your best friend introduces you to a viral serum. And it works like magic, she says. So, you buy it too. But it doesn&#8217;t work and you go like \u2018why are my skincare products not working\u2019?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because, your friend\u2019s oily skin and your dry skin are worlds apart. The serum wasn&#8217;t meant for your skin type in the first place. Hence, it doesn\u2019t work on you as it works on your friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ingredients that counter oil production may irritate your dry skin. And the heavy creams that are good for you would easily clog your friend\u2019s oily pores. So, the first thing to keep in mind is using the products suitable to your skin type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"using-products-the-wrong-way\">Using products the wrong way<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Using the right products isn&#8217;t what makes things right. It demands three things: the correct order of products, consistent use, and a suitable frequency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apply your thinnest products first and then the thicker ones. Water-based serums come before oil-based ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And don&#8217;t just impatiently hop on from products after a week or two, be consistent with them and see the change. Also, avoid underusing and overusing products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using products too much can lead to breakouts while underusing is basically a waste of money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"skipping-sunscreen\">Skipping sunscreen<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>You could have the most perfect routine ever but if you are neglecting sunscreen then your skin health might be compromised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UV exposure can break down collagen, causes <a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC3400707\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC3400707\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hyperpigmentation<\/a>, and creates new wrinkles faster than your anti-aging products can work. Your vitamin C skin brightening serum will work but the tanning from the sun will keep happening, resulting in no progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, always remember to apply a layer of SPF 30 or more for adequate sunscreen protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ignoring-factors-beyond-skincare\">Ignoring factors beyond skincare<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Your skin isn&#8217;t an isolated organ.

A layer of SPF 30+ should be applied everyday &#8211; even on cloudy days and in winters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use lightweight moisturizer if you have oily skin which will prevent moisturizer sitting on top of skin.

Improved texture and a healthier glow doesn&#8217;t come from overnight use. Remember to simplify your routine, choose the right products, and to always apply sunscreen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, don&#8217;t neglect your diet and water intake. Without keeping your overall lifestyle in check, your skincare efforts might not show optimal results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still confused about whether your skincare routine is working or not?
