Advocates say adopting a minimal routine can save your skin and your bank account too.
. "These are products you can find at drugstores, so I was shocked," she says. "I've used only those for the last five years and my skin's has been pretty great since. The only thing I eventually added was regular facials and an exfoliating toner.”Greene says she “instantly” noticed a difference in her skin, and only started breaking out again when she started modeling and had to wear a lot of makeup regularly.
The reminder that everyone's skin type is unique is something that often gets lost in the barrage of Instagram trends like skin fasting. It's hard not to fall for the alluring promise that one swap could potentially be the magic solution for everyone. As in the wellness world, it’s very easy for clear skin to become a test that hinges on the quality of what you eat, how much you sleep, and how many products you buy.
Personally, I was terrified to take products out of my routine after dealing with hormonal and stress-related breakouts for months. What if I eliminated something and my skin freaked out? But at least my busy schedule was on my side for once; without even realizing it, I accidentally stopped using half of my usual products. Shockingly, my skin didn’t change. In fact, it improved. At first the change was subtle—I noticed that I was experiencing fewer and fewer breakouts each week.
As a beauty editor, I too have occasionally fallen victim to the idea that there is such a thing as a "best routine" and that not adhering to it somehow means failing. Our skin is constantly changing, and there's nothing wrong with adding or subtracting products accordingly. Beauty products are most effective when they make us feel our absolute best—not when they meet a particular set of standards or the latest trend on Instagram.
