I genuinely think a lot of people are damaging their skin by doing too much. I used to keep buying new skincare because social media made me feel like I needed actives, exfoliants, serums and a complicated routine to have good skin. Meanwhile, my skin was always dry, irritated and sensitive.

Now I use a basic drugstore face wash, a simple moisturiser, sunscreen, and dermatologist-prescribed medicine when I actually need it.

That’s literally all.

And somehow my skin is healthier now than it ever was when I was doing “serious skincare.” My super dry skin is basically gone too. At this point I honestly think a lot of people just need to leave their skin barrier alone for a while.
