Introduction
Have you ever spent money on skincare products but still see no results? You are not alone. Many Nigerians struggle with skincare that does not work, even when using popular or expensive products. The truth is simple: most skincare routines fail because they are not suited for Nigerian skin, climate, or lifestyle.
At Bismid Cosmetics Abuja, with over 20 years of skincare experience, we have helped thousands of customers correct skincare mistakes and finally see real results. In this guide, we explain why your skincare is not working and exactly how to fix it.
1. You Are Using the Wrong Products for Your Skin Type
One major reason skincare fails is using products that do not match your skin type.
Common mistakes:
- Dry skin using harsh soaps
- Oily skin using heavy creams
- Acne-prone skin using too many active products
How to fix it:
First, identify your skin type: dry, oily, combination, sensitive, or acne-prone. Then choose products specifically made for that skin type. Nigerian skin reacts strongly to wrong formulations, especially under heat.
👉 At Bismid Cosmetics Abuja, we help customers choose the right products, not just popular ones.
2. You Are Mixing Too Many Products
Using many products at once does not mean faster results. In fact, it often damages the skin barrier.
Signs you are overdoing skincare:
- Burning or stinging sensation
- Sudden breakouts
- Dark patches getting worse
How to fix it:
Keep your routine simple:
- Cleanser
- Treatment (serum or cream)
- Moisturizer
- Sunscreen (morning)
Consistency works better than excess.
3. You Are Not Following the Correct Order
Even good products won’t work if applied in the wrong order.
Correct order:
- Cleanser
- Toner (if needed)
- Serum
- Cream or moisturizer
- Sunscreen (morning only)
Wrong layering prevents absorption and reduces effectiveness.
4. You Are Not Protecting Your Skin from the Sun
Many Nigerians skip sunscreen, thinking it is unnecessary. This is a big mistake.
Sun exposure causes:
- Hyperpigmentation
- Uneven skin tone
- Faster aging
How to fix it:
Use sunscreen daily, even when indoors. Nigerian sun is strong and affects skincare results more than people realize.
5. You Are Using Fake or Low-Quality Products
Fake skincare products are common in Nigeria and are one of the biggest reasons skincare fails.
Signs of fake products:
- No results after weeks of use
- Skin irritation
- Unusual smell or texture
How to fix it:
Buy skincare only from trusted stores with physical locations.
Bismid Cosmetics Abuja is the sole distributor of Bismid Cosmetics in Abuja and a trusted dealer of original skincare products.
6. You Expect Instant Results
Skincare takes time. Many people stop too early.
Truth about skincare results:
- 2–3 weeks: early improvement
- 4–6 weeks: visible changes
- 8–12 weeks: real transformation
Consistency is key.
Why Nigerian Skin Needs Special Care
Nigerian skin faces:
- Hot weather
- Dust and pollution
- Frequent sweating
This means products must be:
- Lightweight
- Non-clogging
- Suitable for melanin-rich skin
Generic routines from other climates may not work here.
