So, you've been following your skincare routine to the letter. You’ve got all the right products, you’re religiously applying them every day, and yet… nothing is happening. Your skin’s still giving you grief. What gives? If you’re feeling a little meh about your skincare efforts, don’t worry—you’re not alone. It turns out, sometimes it’s not about picking the “perfect” product, but about how (and when) you’re using them.
Here are a few reasons why your skincare routine might be letting you down—and how to sort it out with just a few tweaks.
1. You’re Overloading Your Skin With Too Many Brands
We get it. You’ve seen all the latest skincare trends, and you want to try them all. But here’s the thing—your skin doesn’t need everything all at once. Too many products can actually overwhelm it, leading to irritation, clogged pores, or just general confusion.
Fix It: Keep it simple. Stick to the basics: cleanse, tone, treat, and moisturise. Think of it like a skincare detox—give your skin a break from all the fancy stuff and let it breathe. With Oria Skin, we have incorporated all that your skin needs in our products - there isn't anything too complicated here. If you need to know where to begin, I suggest starting with one of our kits here.
2. You’re Using the Wrong Products for Your Skin Type
Just because your mate swears by that serum doesn’t mean it’ll work for you. We all have different skin types, and using the wrong product can end up doing more harm than good.
Fix It: Take a good look at your skin. Are you oily, dry, or somewhere in-between? Choose products that actually cater to your skin’s needs, not what’s trending on Instagram. If you’re unsure, it's always a good idea to ask an expert (or a really knowledgeable beauty guru - feel free to message me anytime) With Oria Skin products we have made them so they work for all skin types but if you are unsure, hit me up! I have created a quiz on my website to get you started.
3. You’re Skipping the Essentials
Skipping steps like sunscreen is a huge mistake. If you’ve ever wondered why you’re still getting those pesky sunspots or fine lines, this might be why. Your skin deserves more than just a bit of moisturiser—especially when it comes to UV protection.
Fix It: Sunscreen is non-negotiable. You wouldn’t leave the house without clothes, right? So why would you skip sunscreen? And don’t forget to exfoliate once in a while too—getting rid of those dead skin cells can make a world of difference. Try something gentle, like Oria Skin’s Brightening Enzyme Polish, to keep your skin looking fresh and radiant.
4. You’re Not Giving Products Enough Time to Work
Skincare is not a quick fix. I know, we all want that “instant glow,” but the truth is, products take time to show results. Switching products every week won’t help either—your skin needs time to adjust.
Fix It: Stick with it! Try giving your routine at least 4-6 weeks to work its magic. If you’re still not seeing results, then it might be time for a change—but don’t expect miracles overnight! (sometimes this does happen though!)
5. You’re Not Adjusting for Seasonal Changes
Your skin is just like you—it has moods (especially when the seasons change). What worked in summer may not work so well when winter rolls in with its dry air and chilly winds.
Fix It: Change things up with the seasons. Swap to a richer moisturiser when the temperature drops, and try a lighter product in warmer months. Your skin will thank you for the thoughtful gesture.
6. You’re Not Addressing Internal Factors
All the skincare in the world won’t help if you’re not looking after yourself inside. A bad diet, lack of sleep, and stress are basically like setting your skincare routine up for failure.
Fix It: Drink more water, eat your greens, and try to get a decent night’s sleep. A little stress management goes a long way, too—try yoga, meditation, or a brisk walk. Your skin’s basically a reflection of how you treat the rest of your body. I have been LOVING this collagen everything drink and my skin is too!
At Oria Skin, we believe in keeping things simple and effective. No fuss, just results. If your routine isn’t working, maybe it’s time to try a new approach. Stick to the essentials, give your skin the time it needs, and remember—patience is key.
So, ready to give your skin the love it deserves? We’ve got you covered. Let’s get glowing with Oria Skin! ✨
