Common Skincare Mistake Reduces Day Cream Effectiveness

A common mistake in applying day cream can reduce its effectiveness. Many rush to the next step in their skincare routine, such as sunscreen or makeup, immediately after applying day cream.

To avoid this, it is important to wait a few minutes before proceeding to the next step, giving the cream time to work.
