Do you guys want my new skincare routine? Im sharing my new low-effot high-reward skincare routine.

In the morning! I wash my face with a salicylic acid oil-free face wash. Then i do some hydration cream, because the face wash kinda dries me out but it works, and the teeniest drop of retinol on problem areas (ie chin and jawline). Then some suncream, because it feels like the right thing to do. Then lip balm, bc of course.

At night! I wash my face again. I go in with the retinol all over. I cover any spots with this gel that works like those spot patches but it just works better and feels more hygienic for me, and the gel is better than the patches for my skin picky tendencies. Then i go over any unhealed spots and red marks with some classic e45 because it helps with the picky tendencies too. Then lip balm too of course.

I swap pillow cases roughly every six weeks, flipping sides every three weeks or so (not at strict intervals! This is very low effort. I do it when i notice more problem area spots on whichever side ive been sleeping on)

And thats it. Four steps, sometimes five. Which is good for me because i used to do like seven/eight steps with different serums and multiple face washes and i simply dont have time and tbf i wasnt seeing results anyway so i like. Stopped all of it completely and resorted to face wipes and nothing else until i eased myself back up to here.
