10 Signs That Your Skin Care Routine Isn't Working For You

You'll know when your skin is dehydrated when you notice fine lines, cracking and flaking. Experiencing these with your routine can mean that some of the products you are using are too harsh for your skin, which can sometimes be the case with ingredients like retinols and certain exfoliating acids. They are not necessarily bad to your skin, so you don't have to avoid them forever — but definitely try babying your skin for a while with something gentle like Simple Kind to Skin Protecting Light Moisturizer SPF 15, $9.99, if you notice your skin looking extra dry and flaky.
