The one skin mistake most people are making, according to dermatologists

A flatlay of a lot of different skincare products, to illustrate an over-complicated skin routine.

Skincare used to be simple - cleanse, tone and moisturise. Now, it feels like we're always adding an extra ingredient (or five) to our routines, spending our evenings sink-side cocktailing potions like a mixologist.

Unfortunately, most of us can’t spring for an in-house dermatologist, so we tend to build our skincare routines based on what we read, see or hear. This shared knowledge can be incredibly useful, but it’s potentially too easy to be influenced by what our friends, social media or (ahem) beauty journalists recommend.
