Have you ever applied your skincare products and noticed weird little balls or flakes forming on your skin instead of soaking in nicely? That's called Skin Pilling, and it can be pretty annoying! It can hinder the effectiveness of your skincare routine, can affect your skin barrier and even clog your pores. Several factors contribute to skin pilling, and recognizing these factors can help in preventing this issue. One of the main issue of skin pilling is using the products with different formulations together. Using water-based and oil-based products together, can lead in skin pilling.

Let's discuss some of the cause of skin pilling:

1. Using too many skincare products

To all the skincare hoarders, this is something you need to avoid in order to stop your skin from pilling. When you layer too many products on top of each other, it is possible that their formulations might not sit well together. These layers don't get absorbed into the skin causing pilling. Remember to use less products.

2. Not giving time to get the products absorbed

Every ingredient and product is absorbed on its own rate. Some products like, the water-based face serum might seep into the skin faster while heavy products like sunscreen and moisturizers might take a minute or two. To derive the maximum benefits of the products, one must give sufficient time to the products to get fully absorbed into the skin. Rubbing or massaging the products into the skin will end up into small balls.

Now let's discuss how to avoid skin pilling like a pro-

Pilling majorly happens because your skincare has not absorbed well. To stop this from happening, make your routine simple and cut down on the extra products that you use for your skin. Follow a three step skincare routine, that includes a cleanser, toner and moisturizer followed up with a sunscreen during the day time.
