The skincare industry has developed a lot over the past years. We have evolved a lot from the time most of us simply used soap and water and we can’t help but wonder — are we overdoing it today?
If you follow skincare trends, you’ve probably lost track of how many steps your routine needs to have. This seems to change every month and it’s impossible to know who’s right and who’s wrong. But we can tell you one thing — you’re probably using more products than your skin needs.
Think about it: are there any redundant steps in your skincare routine? For example, if you’re using micellar water to remove makeup, then a cleansing gel is probably unnecessary as they have a very similar purpose. All you need to do is to rinse your face with plain water and moisturize it.
However, everything depends on your individual needs. We all have different skin and it takes some experimenting to know what works and what doesn’t. But if you’ve been constantly thinking about steps you need to add to your routine, it’s probably time to start thinking about things you can stop doing, too.
