1. Your Skin Feels Dry or Tight—Even After Moisturizing

One of the most evident signs that your skincare routine isn’t working is persistent dryness or tightness, even after applying moisturizer. This could indicate:

  • Dehydration: Your skin may lack water, not oil.
  • Ineffective Products: Your moisturizer might not penetrate deeply enough or may not suit your skin type.
  • Harsh Ingredients: Overusing products with alcohol or drying agents can strip your skin of its natural oils.

2. You’re Breaking Out More Than Usual

Sudden or persistent breakouts may signal that your skincare routine needs adjustment. This can happen due to:

  • Clogged Pores: From using heavy, non-comedogenic products.
  • Improper Cleansing: Not thoroughly removing makeup or sunscreen.
  • Hormonal Changes: This requires a targeted skincare approach.

3. Your Skin Looks Dull or Tired

If your skin lacks radiance or appears uneven, it could be due to:

  • Dead Skin Buildup: From inadequate exfoliation.
  • Environmental Damage: Sun exposure and pollution can accelerate dullness.
  • Aging Skin: Reduced collagen production can make your skin look lackluster.

4. Your Skin Is More Sensitive Than Usual

When applying products, sensitivity can manifest as redness, irritation, or a burning sensation. This might occur due to:

  • Over-Exfoliation: Using too many active ingredients.
  • Irritating Ingredients: Fragrances, dyes, or alcohol can cause flare-ups.
  • Compromised Skin Barrier: Your routine may have weakened your skin’s protective layer.

5. Your Current Routine Isn’t Addressing New Concerns

Your routine needs to adapt as your skin changes with age, stress, or environmental factors. Common new concerns include:

  • Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Often require anti-aging ingredients.
  • Dark Spots or Pigmentation: Need targeted brightening treatments.
  • Loss of Elasticity: May call for collagen-boosting products.
