What is pilling skincare?

Pilling in skincare refers to the phenomenon where the products you apply on your skin start to ball up or flake off. This can happen when layering multiple skincare products or when the products interact with each other or with makeup.

Pilling can be caused by a variety of factors, including using too much product, not allowing enough time for products to absorb before applying the next layer, using products with incompatible ingredients, or using products that are not suitable for your skin type.

To prevent pilling, it is advisable to use products that are formulated to work well together, allow each product to fully absorb before applying the next, and avoid using too much product. It is also important to choose products that are appropriate for your skin type and needs to avoid any adverse reactions.

If pilling does occur, gently patting your skin or using a damp cloth to remove the flakes may help. However, it is important to identify the underlying cause of the pilling and adjust your skincare routine accordingly to prevent it from recurring in the future.
