Carefully considered skincare is a must if you want to retain your youthful glow and avoid skin issues, but with so many skincare products on the market, finding the right products can be a challenge.
Add to that all the latest beauty trends and buzzwords, the hacks and tips from TikTok, and more, and it can get very confusing. It can often be hard to tell if your products are working or not, but we have some signs that tell you that you might have to give up on a particular product and try something new instead.
Pimples
There are a number of causes of pimple breakouts. It could be clogged dead skin cells, sebum, or bacteria; or it could also be due to hormones. Sometimes, it could also be due to your new skincare products.
Your skin can sometimes react to a new product, and if your skin isn’t compatible with certain active ingredients, you can experience a breakout, and often in areas where you don’t usually get pimples.
Burning Sensation
The saying ‘no pain, no gain’ might work for the gym, but when it comes to your skin, pain is not a good sign. A good skincare product shouldn’t make you feel uncomfortable, and if you feel a burning or stinging sensation, it’s generally a sign that you should stop using that product and try something else.
Redness
Redness is also one of the common signs that your new skincare product isn’t working. This happens when your skin is inflamed. Sometimes it could also feel itchy and burning. This won’t stop until you stop using that product, and you need to give your skin time to recover before trying any other products.
Finding the right skin care product is trial and error sometimes. But, remember, it’s best to stop using your skincare products if they’re causing further damage to your skin.
