- Skincare routines are overwhelming, so I opt for a minimalist approach.
- After some trial and error, I found a simple routine that keeps my skin clear and soft.
- I stick to 3-4 steps in the morning and at night for simplicity.
When it comes to mainstream beauty trends, I’ve always been a “lazy girl.” Straightening my hair or doing a smokey eye never appealed to me, and I didn’t have a skincare routine for most of my life.
However, I discovered that I’m not alone in my preference for minimalist skincare. Many people, whether due to sensitive skin or simply a desire for simplicity, are opting for fewer steps in their routines.
Through trial and error and consultations with dermatologists, I finally found a simple skincare routine that works for me. By being consistent with these 3-4 steps, I have achieved the smoothest, clearest skin of my life.
I follow three essential steps in my morning and night routine:
My routine is based on the recommendations of dermatologists, focusing on cleansing, vitamin C, sunscreen, retinol, and moisturizing. Here’s what I do:
Morning Routine
Night Routine
-
I cleanse my face with Tatcha’s The Rice Wash again.
-
If I have makeup on, I use Bioderma micellar water and a cotton pad to remove it as it’s more effective than wipes.
-
I apply Farmacy retinol serum every 3 days to avoid irritation.
-
I moisturize with Cetaphil because it’s affordable and can be used on both my face and body.
While these products work well for me, the core principles of cleansing, vitamin C, sunscreen, retinol, and moisturizing are beneficial for everyone.
I occasionally experiment with new products, such as trying a stronger retinoid based on a dermatologist’s recommendation.
By simplifying my skincare routine, I also save money by only purchasing what I truly need instead of buying expensive products on a whim.
I’ve learned to embrace imperfections and focus on what works
Although my skin isn’t flawless, I’ve come to accept my fine lines and occasional breakouts. I no longer compare myself to filtered selfies and instead appreciate the results of my consistent routine.
While other products may offer additional benefits, I resist the temptation to constantly seek perfection and instead appreciate the progress I’ve made.
In the end, simplicity and consistency are key to achieving and maintaining healthy, beautiful skin.
