Skincare Essentials + Nice To Haves
I know this might be a hard pill to swallow, but, honestly, to maintain skin health, you only really need around six products. And by all means, if you love using a toner (I do!) or taking the extra step to oil cleanse, please continue using them! Those might be “essential” to you.
And I get it; skincare can be overwhelming with the number of products on the market and information online coming at you left and right. So if you are entirely new to skincare, instead of jumping in with multiple products (which is usually too much), I recommend starting simple with a cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen. They don't have to be expensive or fancy either!
Or perhaps you are a more advanced skincare user and want to scale back to a "skinimalism" routine; sticking to the six essentials is a good option!
