Why Your Skin Isn’t “Glowing” Yet: 5 Mistakes Everyone Makes (And How to Fix Them)

Your glow isn’t missing, it’s hiding. Here are five common skincare mistakes that dull your skin and simple fixes you can start today.

Everyone wants healthy, glowing skin. But most people are accidentally sabotaging themselves with small everyday habits. The good news? These mistakes are easy to fix, and the results show up quickly when you stay consistent.

Here are the top five glow blockers and how to fix them.

✨ 1. You’re Not Cleansing Properly
A quick splash of water isn’t cleansing. Dirt, sweat, oils and residue from the day sit on your skin and stop your products from working.
Fix it: Cleanse morning and night with a gentle soap or cleanser that doesn’t strip your skin.

☀️ 2. You’re Skipping Sunscreen (Yes, Even in the UK)
This is the number one glow killer. UV rays cause dullness, uneven tone, dark spots and premature ageing.
Fix it: Apply SPF every single day, indoors or outdoors, winter or summer.

💦 3. You’re Not Moisturising Enough
Dry skin looks tired, textured and dull. Hydration is the foundation of any glow.
Fix it: Use a moisturiser or body butter daily. Apply on damp skin, then seal with oil if you need extra softness.

🧽 4. You’re Ignoring Hidden Dry Spots
Elbows, knees, hands, feet and the neck often age faster because we forget them.
Fix it: Moisturise everywhere, not just your face. Consistency on the whole body matters.

⏳ 5. You’re Not Being Consistent
Good skin isn’t a miracle; it’s a routine.
Fix it: Stick to the basics: Cleanse → Moisturise → SPF. Build from there when you’re ready.

🌿 Final Thoughts
Healthy, glowing skin isn’t complicated. It’s about smart habits, protection and using products that nourish, not overwhelm. Start simple, stay consistent and your glow will always come through.
