10 Common skin care mistakes you might be making

Everyone wants healthy, glowing skin, but many people unknowingly follow routines that do more harm than good. This blog explores common skincare mistakes that people make—often daily—and how to fix them.

Natural remedies and trends can be helpful, but long-term skin health needs expert-guided, personalised care. That’s where Dr Batra®'s homeopathic skin treatments come in.

Why Daily Skincare Matters

Skin renews itself constantly; poor routines can disrupt this natural process. Ignoring your skin’s needs leads to acne, dryness, pigmentation, or premature ageing.

Top 10 Common Skin Care Mistakes

1. Over-cleansing or under-cleansing : Can strip or clog your skin, disturbing the skin's natural barrier.
2. Skipping moisturiser (even for oily skin) : Dehydrated skin overcompensates by producing more oil.
3. Using harsh exfoliants too frequently (How often should I exfoliate my skin?) : Can cause microtears and irritation.
4. Do not apply sunscreen indoors or on cloudy days : UV rays penetrate glass and clouds, damaging skin daily.
5. Using products not meant for your skin type : Increases chances of breakouts or dryness.
6. Popping pimples or over-touching your face : Spreads bacteria, causing more acne and scars.
7. Using too many actives at once (like retinol and AHA) May lead to over exfoliation and sensitivity.
8. Sleeping with makeup on or not cleansing properly at night : Blocks pores and disrupts overnight skin repair.
9. Neglecting your neck and hands in your routine : These areas also show early signs of ageing.
10. Ignoring internal health and diet (Internal linking: Food for Healthy Skin) – Skin reflects gut and nutritional imbalances.
