LESS IS MORE. HERE’S WHY
Gone are the days where people desire a 16-step routine.
In the process of becoming an acne specialist, I was surprised by one thing in particular.
Less is more.
We’ve all heard that before… But how many of us actually believe it, or live it?
Could I recommend an extensive routine if someone really wanted? Of course. Though, it’s actually easier said than done.
It’s really easy to overwhelm already overwhelmed skin. To further compromise already compromised skin. To inflame already inflamed skin. The answer? Less is more.
Let me throw another buzz-phrase at you.
Quality or quantity.
Thankfully, many (Key word: many. Not all.) products these days prioritize high quality ingredients and formulas, and can even be combined with other products to preform even better than when separate.
For example: a gel cleanser can have the ability to cleanse (… saw that coming), hydrate, and brighten. Sounds better than three separate products, right?
A single serum can provide anti-aging benefits, exfoliation and cell turnover.
You get it!
So, the next time you're feeling lost in your routine, or simple overwhelmed, ask yourself… “Is my routine quality or quantity?” Don’t misunderstand- you CAN have more than a handful of products that are all AMAZING.
However, that’s not everyones cup of tea. So, while I have you here, I’m going to return to you the power of choice… Something the industry doesn’t love to remind you about.
