Overly moisturizing

Much like exfoliation, moisturizing has increased in popularity in recent years. After all, who doesn’t like to have smooth skin that smells incredible?

Unfortunately, moisturizing too often comes at a cost.

Garnier skin health experts revealed that applying moisturizer excessively every day (especially in the evening hours) can decrease your skin’s production of emollient (your natural moisturizer). In other words, the more moisturizer you apply, the more you teach your skin to produce less of its own.

Over time, your skin will become drier and drier, and you’ll enter a vicious cycle in which you keep moisturizing with no results.

The solution? Just apply very thin layers of moisturizer according to your dermatologist’s indications.
