Step 1: Gentle Cleansing Is Enough—Don’t Overdo It
How many cleansers do you have? Two? Three? We get it—keeping your skin clean feels like a top priority. But here’s the thing: over-cleansing is actually harming your skin more than helping it. Harsh scrubs, double-cleansing, or deep-cleaning masks can strip away natural oils, leaving your skin dry and irritated.
All you really need is a gentle cleanser with mild ingredients like amino acids or APG (alkyl polyglucosides). These ingredients will effectively clean without damaging your skin’s protective barrier. If you wear makeup, a cleansing balm or oil will do the job in one step—no need for extra products.
